Support Adding .pkg and .dmg without signing
One of the nice things about Meraki’s SM is the way in which it handles the install of Apps vs SimpleMDM namely:
- You dont need to sign a .pkg
- You can upload a file or specify a URL as the source of the installer (.pkg or .dmg)
Having to sign the .pkg is kinda annoying.

Deploying unsigned binaries to macOS is now supported with our Munki integration. Please see https://simplemdm.com/announcing-hosted-munki/

@grahamgilbert (not sure that even works here) that's actually how SimpleMDM was doing things before. As you mentioned, that's not a great idea, so it no longer works like that.

The only way around this is for SimpleMDM to sign the package on your behalf. This doesn't strike me as a particularly good idea...

Meraki only accomplishes this through their agent. At this time SimpleMDM doesn’t have an agent and is using the Apple protocol that will only allow a signed package. Just FYI for why it is this way.
