SimpleMDM supports a catalog of popular macOS applications called the Shared Apps Catalog. These are app installers that are provided to admins without the need to track down the installers themselves. They are kept up-to-date automatically to reduce the admin overhead needed to maintain them.
Shared Apps can be deployed to macOS devices using SimpleMDM's Munki integration.
Adding Shared Apps
To deploy Shared Apps, they first must be added to the Catalog.
- In the SimpleMDM admin interface, go to Apps & Media and click "Catalog".
- Click "Add App".
- Select "Shared App".
- Use the search bar as needed to locate apps as needed.
- From the list of apps, click "Add" next to the app names.
Deploying Shared Apps
Shared Apps must be installed on managed devices using the SimpleMDM Munki integration. Like all other app deployments, this is done by assigning the applications to Groups of devices. See this article for instructions on creating and managing app assignments: Managing App Assignments for Groups
