  3. 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…

  4. Add Sublime Text 4 to shared apps

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

  6. Provide a mechanism to assign profiles and applications based on attribute values.

  7. Add device EID from DeviceInformationResponse.QueryResponses.ServiceSubscriptionProperty command

    Hello,

    as part of eSIM distribution it will be very nice to have EID of the devices accessible via API in device details (adding EID to portal will be also nice).

    Can you please add EID to each device from MDM command (this command is already in use by SimpleMDM for other data) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/deviceinformationresponse/queryresponses/servicesubscriptionproperty

    Thank you David.

  10. Support more API profile query strings

    To get information about a custom profile through the API the only option is to list them all and then filter out the required data.

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#custom-configuration-profiles

    On a SimpleMDM instance with 100+ profiles, requesting a single page of profiles takes a very long time.

    curl https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/custom_configuration_profiles?limit=100 \
  -u ${API_KEY}:

    Running the above command takes around 20-30 seconds. However, if there were URL parameters available to map to profile attributes - ID, name, identifier, etc. - the API could return only the one or subset of profiles requested, in turn improving performance. It shouldn't take 30 seconds to return data about…

  12. Report on Rapid Security Response versions

    Apple is adding a new update type to macOS called Rapid Security Responses. These updates change the build version, but not the OS version reported. Instead, the new ProductVersionExtra (sw_vers) and SupplementalOSVersionExtra (MDM query) keys are returned to denote a specific supplemental version only when a RSR is installed. If no RSR is installed the key is not present. Similarly, when using MDM query (simulated with /usr/libexec/mdmclient QueryDeviceInformation) BuildVersion is unchanged, but SupplementalBuildVersion has the correct RSR build.

    $ sw_vers
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 13.3
ProductVersionExtra: (a)
BuildVersion: 22E7752300f

    $ /usr/libexec/mdmclient QueryDeviceInformation
{
  BuildVersion = 22E5230e;
  OSVersion = "13.3";

  14. Support for Munki installer_type "nopkg"

    Munki has a pkginfo key for the installer type "nopkg". In a self-hosted Munki environment, this allows pkginfo files to be added to a repository that do not have an associated .pkg or .dmg file. You can read the Munki Project docs on the feature here: https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/nopkgs

    This has a variety of uses, because it allows Munki to be used as a general script execution tool. An admin can use any of Munki's installation conditions (package receipt, installs array, installcheck_script, or OnDemand) to then run a pre or postinstall script embedded in the pkginfo.

    One example of how this is…

  15. Assign profiles to multiple groups from the Profiles Action menu

    There's no easy way to assign a single profile to multiple groups at once. Instead, I have to go to the Groups view and click on each group I want to add the profile to, click the profile tab, click Assign Profile, find the Profile I want to add, then click the Assign button. Doing that for each group is tedious.

    Instead, I suggest the Profiles view have an option in the Action button to be able to add whichever Profiles are selected to add to Groups. I imagine the resulting view would be a list of groups with a…

    This functionality is now available with Dynamic Groups (currently in Preview). This update also adds a Groups tab to the Device Details, Profile Details, and App Details pages to easily view/manage object assignments. Sign up here to have the preview enabled on your account.

  16. Support macOS 14 Software Update Enforcement

    macOS 14 adds some sort of software update enforcement capability. While the UI is unknown the MDM parts have been outlined here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/softwareupdateenforcementspecific?changes=latest_minor&language=objc

    Please support this ASAP so we can test the UI and functionality.

  17. I'd love to see tags implemented as a device organizational tool.

    Right now we have groups. But device groups is only one way to view your fleet. I'd love if I could also assign tags to devices. Ideally multiple tags. This way I could have tags for things like "remote" or "customer service" or "need2retire". Then I could use a tag or combination of tags to isolate a special group of devices.

    Thanks

  18. ability to allow admin to decide if end user can or cannot control their date and time zone settings

    For some users, we want to allow them to control time zone while for others we want to lock it down. It'd be nice to have the option.

  20. Include copy button for admin password.

    With the escrowed admin password feature, it would be helpful to include a small copy button (similar to those seen on code training/doc sites) to easily copy the password.

    As it is now, if you reveal the password, then triple click to select, you end up grabbing a carriage return (and text styling) that will make the password invalid when pasted.
