Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

To deploy a macOS app using Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud:

1. Locate the required app on the App Catalog page.

   

Tip

Use the Search field and filters to help you locate the app.

1. Click the relevant app.

   

2. On the app’s properties page, click Deploy under the Mac OS section to start the Deployment Wizard.

   

3. Continue from General Information to configure the deployment as required.

Note

Due to the differences between the way Intune handles Windows and macOS apps, not all options are available for macOS apps. As Microsoft improves macOS support in Intune, we will endeavor to support any such improvements in PMPC Cloud.

For now, the following key differences exist:

• Installer Types (General tab) – macOS only supports .dmg and .pkg installers.

• Architecture (General tab) – macOS supports the Universal type, which works on all architectures of macOS devices.

• Installer Scripts (Configurations tab) – For macOS, this option is only available if the installer type is .pkg.

• Assignment Types (Assignments tab) – The Add Update Only and Add Uninstall assignment types are unavailable if the Installer Type is .dmg or .pkg. However, if the InstallAsManaged property has been enabled in the .pkg, the Add Uninstall assignment type will be available.

Tip

Once a macOS deployment has been completed successfully, you’ll can see it under Apps | Monitor | macOS | macOS apps in the Microsoft Intune admin center.
