auto-update-magic | keeping Mac apps up to date

auto-update-magic is a Shell library typically used in macOS applications. auto-update-magic has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Keeping Mac apps up to date with Casper is anything but trivial, and yet it's one of the most critical tasks of any management system. Outdated apps can expose security vulnerabilities, cause file format incompatibilities, and prevent people from taking advantage of the latest and greatest app features. Auto Update Magic is my attempt to make updating apps easier for Casper administrators. In this newly rewritten guide, I have provided instructions, example workflows, scripts, recipes, and a LaunchDaemon that will help you keep your Mac apps updated with your Casper JSS. Yes, JAMF will probably be incorporating "patch management" features into Casper soon. However, Auto Update Magic lets you automate your Mac app patching today, and gives you total control over how apps are packaged, imported, and deployed.
