Add applications to macOS devices through LogMeIn Resolve MDM

Applications can be added to macOS devices through LogMeIn Resolve MDM by deploying application packages (PKG files) or VPP application licenses.

Before you begin: The following requirements must be met to deploy application packages to Mac devices:
  • The device must run macOS version 10.13.6 or above.
  • The application package must be signed by the application vendor or developer.
The following requirements must be met to deploy VPP application licenses to Mac devices:
  • You must have sufficient Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager access privileges.
  • Configured VPP in LogMeIn Resolve MDM.

    For more information on configuring VPP, see Configuring Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) in LogMeIn Resolve MDM.

  • The device must run macOS 10.7 or above.

While using application packages to deploy files to your managed Mac devices requires adding the PKG files to LogMeIn Resolve MDM manually, using VPP licenses makes it possible to distribute apps for which you have purchased licenses through Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. See Managing licenses for apps purchased through Apple Business Manager to learn more about managing VPP application licenses.

For general information on deploying applications to macOS devices, see Application management and scripting for macOS devices.

    Follow these steps to add application packages to LogMeIn Resolve MDM.

    1. Download the application package to be installed.
    2. In LogMeIn Resolve MDM, navigate to Management > Applications and select Add > macOS application.
    3. Select PKG (Uploaded), then select Next.
    4. Select the PKG file by clicking Select file.
    5. Fill in the application details as shown in the table below, then select Create to finish uploading the application package.
      Application detail Description
      Description Optional field.

      Example application details

Deploying the application package or VPP application license to the devices

One or multiple VPP app licenses or uploaded PKG files can be deployed to a single device or multiple devices from the Applications and Devices pages in LogMeIn Resolve MDM. For detailed instructions, see Application management and scripting for macOS devices.

Automating the script deployment with a business policy

LogMeIn Resolve MDM's business policies offer a way to automate the deployment of your apps. This way, when you create and enable the business policy, the application installation is enforced on all devices within the business policy's scope. Learn more about business policies in Creating a business policy.
