  1. Add the Homebrew package to shared Apps

    Homebrew is now distributed as a pkg: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/releases/tag/4.1.13

    I'm distributing this but it would be nice if it was automatically updated for me :D

  2. add the ability to preview Welcome Screens as they are created

    Rather than have to iterate changes to Welcome Screens with real hardware, it would be nice to have a generated preview in-browser as part of Enrollments > {enrollment_name} > Welcome Screen.

  4. Add Sublime Text 4 to shared apps

    Version 3 is currently in there, but EOL, so I think adding v4 makes sense.

  5. Devices API - Create - Extend method to include optional params for DEP device ID and device name

    When creating a device using the Devices API create method (https://api.simplemdm.com/#devices), there are only two parameters that can be passed to it, 'name' and 'group_id'.

    It would be very helpful, especially for devices that are expected to go through automated device enrolment, if we could pass a DEP device ID parameter to it so that a DEP device that is not yet enrolled will automatically be assigned to the nominated device group.
    If the DEP device id parameter is assigned, then the response probably shouldn't include an enrolment URL, as this param should indicate the device is expected…

  6. Prepopulate Job Name Field for New Jobs

    When creating a new job please auto populate the Job Name with something unique rather than leaving it blank. For example, something related to the current timescriptnameSerialNumber would be useful.

    The admin should be able to edit this prepopulated name if they so wish.

  7. Report on installed certificates

    I'd like to see SimpleMDM report on installed certificates for all device types. A common feature in other MDMs, CertificateListCommand (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/certificatelistcommand) has been around since iOS 4 and macOS 10.7 (!).

    While we have other tools to report on certificates (like osquery), it's useful to have MDM as a data source as well since oftentimes installed certificates originate via profiles. Knowing certificate health within the same product has benefits, and could allow for more advanced certificate management directly in SimpleMDM.

    Important fields...
    - Certificate name
    - CA/issued by
    - Expiration
    - Current validity status
    - If possible, whether…

  9. Reject enrollments for unsupported macOS versions when using SAML

    I am requesting SimpleMDM add guards for ADE where a macOS device is under 10.15. Copying directly from enrollment authentication config...

    "OSes prior to macOS 10.15 and iOS 13 using Automated Enrollment and all devices enrolled with Apple Configurator do not support SAML authentication and will not be authenticated. Optionally enroll them in a less secure initial device group."

    A helpful setting for sure since it means a device can be dropped into a group with no access to organization profiles, packages, or secrets. However, the device is still allowed to enroll and takes up a license. If that Mac…

  10. Add username field to `device.enrolled` webhook event

    The goal is to have a username field in the device.enrolled webhook event.

    This field would be populated using the the custom attribute defined in the "Username custom attribute" setting in the Automated Enrollment Authentication section.

    In our use case, a user will be prompted to auth using Okta during Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). The username that is returned by Okta would be part of the webhook event payload. We use the username and device serial number to help with automating other internal processes to help determine which user is assigned to which device.

    This could be covered by https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/46831099-control-webhook-data…

  11. Allow SimpleMDM to release devices in ABM/ASM

    Allow SimpleMDM to release devices without having to sign in to Apple Business Manager. This feature is enabled by default when you add an MDM server in ABM/ASM. You can remove this feature by deselecting the option for any new or existing MDM servers you created.

    But SimpleMDM has not implemented this feature yet. Would be nice to automate the decommissioning process of the devices.

  12. Support choosing which webhook events to subscribe to per endpoint

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#webhooks

    The current webhook events are as follows...

    device.changed_group
    device.enrolled
    device.unenrolled
    device.lock.enabled
    abm.device.added

    Whenever any of these events occurs, the webhook endpoint is pinged. However, processing these can get particularly noisy, especially in large environments and (hopefully) as SimpleMDM adds more supported events.

    I am asking to add support for selecting which events are subscribed to per webhook endpoint. This way only events needed for a particular workflow are sent and the webhook receiver requires less work to filter out unneeded data.

    The UI could look like other SimpleMDM settings with checkboxes for each event, where by default all are…

  15. Support "Non-Removable" flag on deployed iOS Store Apps

    As noted here on the SimpleMDM blog, an option was added to iOS starting in 14.x where individual apps can be marked as "non-removable" by the administrator when being deployed.

    https://simplemdm.com/blog/mdm-ios-14-macos-11-big-sur/
    https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/deployment/dm195

    "To prevent a user from uninstalling a managed app, mark the app as nonremovable when you assign the managed app to a user or device. Depending on your MDM solution, you might need to deselect a Removable attribute or set a nonremovable attribute. With your MDM solution, you may also be able to set this attribute on apps that are already installed on a device."

    I feel it…

  16. Add support for ZIP and XIP as well as DMG

    A fair number of apps are distributed as ZIPs (and one prominent app uses XIPs) instead of DMGs. It would be convenient to be able to upload these as is, instead of having to locally convert them to DMGs first $(unzip App.zip && hdiutil create -format ULMO -o App.dmg -srcfolder App.app)

  17. Scope profiles to build version

    With the advent of RSRs, the OS version is no longer a definitive identifier of what OS rev a system is on. The OS build numbers would be a more consistent way to identify target OSes.

    Historically, macOS minor builds have followed an pattern of
    [Major OS number][A...Z minor build][Patch Number] moniker.

    Now with RSRs, the build numbers are a bit more complicated but the values still go up and each build number is larger than the last based on the pattern above.

    13.3.1 22E261
    13.3.1 RSR 22E772610a
    13.4.0 22F66
    13.4.1 22F82
    13.4.1 RSR 22F770820b

    I propose that Build numbers…
