macOS Agent 2.53.000, macOS App Packager 1.60.000, and macOS App Catalog 1.60.000 Release Notes
MaaS360 makes the macOS Agent 2.53.000, macOS App Packager 1.60.000, and macOS App Catalog 1.60.000 available on 04 July 2025.
MaaS360 Packager
Customers can upload .pkg
files to the MaaS360 Packager app by specifying a
custom PKG URL hosted on their own storage. After the URL is configured, MaaS360 manages the app
like any other enterprise application.
When the app is distributed, the Mac device downloads it directly from the specified URL. The download bypasses MaaS360-managed storage.
MaaS360 uninstall workflow
Previously, the agent and all MaaS360 MDM profiles were deleted from the device when the IBM MaaS360 mac software was uninstalled.
With this release, there is an improvised version of macOS device management for MaaS360 that avoids the removal of the MDM profile during agent uninstallation on managed devices. The agent no longer starts a new registration once it is reinstalled. To maintain device management continuity, it instead fetches the current enrollment information. Also, monitoring to determine whether the agent is installed on the device is now part of MaaS360. Every 24 hours, the system automatically starts the reinstallation process by using MDM if the agent cannot be located.
