You can easily manage software applications for your macOS Mobile Device Management (MDM)-enrolled devices with JumpCloud\u2019s Software Management. Managing software apps saves you time and ensures that your users can access the apps they need. You can also reclaim licenses that are no longer used to control software costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can remotely add and assign preconfigured self-hosted app packages developed by you or a third party to meet a specific business need for your organization. The installation is facilitated by JumpCloud MDM, rather than by Apple’s ABM or ASM. Preconfigured custom app packages can be hosted at these types of publicly-accessible, secure repositories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should carefully investigate the apps you are providing to your users. A preconfigured custom app package must be a product archive that is a developer-signed distribution package. These non-ABM app packages must be accessible from a URL that points to the package location that you enter in the JumpCloud Admin Portal. The app package is validated before it is added to the software inventory list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
