Custom App Requirements

Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher

Overview

Patch My PC Custom Apps allow you to package and manage your own applications alongside the Patch My PC catalog. The Publisher integrates with Patch My PC Cloud to retrieve Custom App metadata and publish it into your environment using your existing publishing workflows. The requirements below explicitly apply only if you are publishing Custom Apps through the on-premises Publisher to either ConfigMgr or Intune.

Requirements

To publish Custom Apps to either ConfigMgr or Intune using the the Publisher, you must meet all of the following requirements:

• Publisher version 2.1.20.0 or later.

• An active Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Premium, or MSP subscription.

• Your organization must be onboarded to Patch My PC Cloud by creating a Cloud Company.

• The Publisher must be connected to the Cloud Company.

Note

Customers with an MSP or MSP Plus subscription can connect the Publisher to only one Patch My PC Cloud company. We recommend connecting the Publisher to the MSP parent Cloud company, rather than an individual MSP customer Cloud company, to ensure proper management and visibility of the Custom Apps made available to the Publisher.

Important

If you only plan to deploy your Custom Apps from Patch My PC Cloud, the Publisher is not required.
