App-V 5 and Citrix Integration Resources
Whether it is integration with XenApp, XenDesktop, PVS, or UPM, App-V 5 is the recommended application virtualization and streaming model for Citrix Session and VDI environments.

So with help of App-V 5 SEE John Behneman, (you may recognize him from the official App-V support blog) below is a collection of Citrix KB and documentation links related to App-V 5.0 when integrated with Citrix technologies:
