Update/upgrade WhatsApp in Shared Apps for macOS
The current version has now "WhatsApp (old)" as name and the logo is grey now instead of green. It also suggests downloading the new app. But I prefer to install it from the self-service app (Munki). So can you add/update it?

API Request: Ability to upload/change icons for uploaded macOS pkgs.
Currently in the API, only pkg uploads and changes are supported. However the ability to upload or change icons is unavailable.
The reason this is important for us is we maintain over a dozen instances and the ability to programatically set icons for our items would drastically reduce the amount of work required for us to configure especially when we're deploying new items.
If possible, we'd greatly appreciate the following added to the API:
- Apps -> Create:
- New optional argument: icon.
- Sets icon during upload.
- Apps -> Update:
- New optional argument: icon.

Add new Microsoft Teams to Shared Catalog
Microsoft is rolling out an updated Teams experience or Mac, with a new binary that can be installed alongside the Classic teams experience. Please add the standalone installer to the shared catalog alongside the existing Teams (and possibly rename teams to Classic, like MS does?) https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2249065

Route SSO-only users to their account-specific SSO
When our SSO-only users go to a SimpleMDM bookmark in their browser, they get routed to the email/password login page. Since SSO login (via SAML) requires an organization-specific sign-in page, they don't know where to go to sign in.
A suggestion that I hope would help here would be to route a user whose account is SSO-only to their organization's SAML login page so that they can complete their sign-in flow. This could either be letting them enter their email on the existing login page or having a button on the page for "Log in via SSO" so they could…

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.

Allow devices to be marked as unmanaged
Another idea to borrow from Jamf Pro. Please consider allowing SimpleMDM customers to mark devices as unmanaged in order to keep them for historical or data purposes without them actively being under management and NOT taking up a license. An unmanaged device would keep the same config, but not have the ability to interact with MDM moving forward. No profile installs, polling for device info, etc. It is a record stuck in time. Devices should be able to move freely between managed/unmanaged through the GUI and API.
As it today, every device which exists in a SimpleMDM tenant takes up…

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…

Sort the Scripts -> Jobs -> History tab by newest to oldest by default
Right now, the sorting is by name (I think?) which is not useful. It would be great to show the most recently queued jobs in the history first by default.

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.

Allow entry of Custom Integers for Software Update Delay Fields in Restrictions Payload
Currently we only have the option to choose from predefined options in the dropdown list as shown below.
Please add the ability to add a custom ineger up to the maximum allowed by Apple.1 vote -
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)

Allow before/after (un)installation script overrides for shared apps
This would enable one to benefit from shared auto-updating apps while applying useful improvements such as
/Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/Docker --unattended --install-privileged-components

Report on profile status - pending, installed, failed
SimpleMDM currently only surfaces profile assignment in the main profiles UI. To see the status of a specific profile on a device an admin must navigate to a device record. What information isn't readily available is the status of a profile. Even if it's assigned to 100 devices, there's no way to tell how many of those devices the profile successfully installed.
Specifically asking...
- Add three columns to the view at/profiles
in the UI - installed, pending, failed.
- In the profiles and custom profiles API endpoints include data about these status as well.The major driver behind…

New notification options
I'd love for a lot more notification options. Given SimpleMDM's position on the device already, it hopefully shouldn't be too heavy of a lift.
- New User added
- User priv changes
- OS update skipped
- Device visible (after being offline)
This is off the top of my head, but I'm sure I could come up with quite a few more given some time.

Allow a scheduled rotation of auto-admin passwords
I'd like to see the ability for SimpleMDM to auto-rotate admin passwords on a specified schedule. Right now that task is only completed by the UI or an API script. The UI clicking is impossible with 1000s of machines and scripting it with an API call takes hours to run. Having an automated schedule inside the UI to auto-rotate every month or so would remove the chore of password rotation.

Enrollment Setting - Unassign Profiles at Re-Enrollment
We heavily utilize individually assigned profiles for Macs. There are also a few default profiles assigned via group. When a new out-of-box Mac is being enrolled for the first time only those default profiles are installed (around 5). Profiles are installed quickly and reliably. Later on during provisioning our configuration management tool handles installing other required per device profiles.
However, when a Mac from stock is being re-enrolled to be used by another person, every previously assigned profile is installed at setup assistant. Since in my case those individually assigned profiles are usually per user, team, department, etc. and no…
