For Adobe to reach out to JAMF support to address issues with their flat packages
Hello Ideas Central,
Late April 2024 Adobe added the functionality to create flat packages within the Adobe Admin Console. This allows their software installers to be compatible with macOS Sequoia.
At my institution, we use JAMF as our MDM management platform for Apple devices. I've experienced considerable issues with the vendor provided PKGs and when uploading to JAMF, they trigger 'Upload Failed' messaging.
It appears JAMF cloud spends 10 minutes or so ratifying the installer before rejecting the vendor PKG. It's not related to signing or notorisation because our home baked PKGs we upload aren't affected by this bug.
As part of an Adobe support case E-001562156, I've discussed with Vatika and she advises there have been issues reported to Adobe - "It's a known issue".
Hard to imagine that 1 year later, Adobe haven't reached out to JAMF to offer some insight into their packaging methods, learn why their PKGs may cause problems, and make adjustments.
Please contact support@jamf.com
Feel free to reference - Case CS1341240 where I have provided more information
