Permit override of receipts or installs keys in Munki pkginfo
Related to this feature request: https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/40986322-fully-support-the-munki-pkgingo-plist
As per the documentation (https://help.pdq.com/hc/en-us/articles/6430464122907-Custom-PkgInfo-for-Munki-apps) the following keys are not permitted to overridden by the user:
installs
receiptsI believe the intent of the restriction on these in the manifest is to prevent installation issues, but these keys are vitally important to fix the installation of packages that include sub packages that are not always installed.
Without being able to override these options, some packages that include a large amount of sub packages that are not always installed (for example, architecture specific ones) will get stuck in a state where Munki believes…
3 votesWe have added the ability to set the "receipts" key in the custom PkgInfo. From what I currently understand, this should solve most scenarios, but if the "installs" key is also necessary for your use-case (or any other PkgInfo keys), please submit a new suggestion and/or email us at [email protected] and let us know. Thanks!

add ability to upload custom icons
When creating custom apps, it would be nice if we could upload a custom icon with it.
11 votesCustom icons can now be uploaded for custom apps & nopkgs that are deployed using SimpleMDM's hosted Munki integration. When enabled, the Managed Software Center will display the provided custom icon.
Please note: Once the app is installed, the application will still use whichever icon was specified in the pkg/dmg. Additionally, custom pkgs that are only eligible for deployment via the MDM protocol do not currently support custom icons. This would require the pkg itself to be modified.

Allow admins to set 'Remote Desktop Enabled' for all devices
A freshly built macOS 12.1 machine can only have Remote Desktop / screen sharing enabled using MDM. Currently, this can only be done on a per machine basis using 'Enable Remote Desktop' option or API call. It would be great if we could: -
Set 'Remote Desktop Enabled' at a global level for all macOS devices that are in SimpleMDM.
Have the ability to set it on multiple machines at once by ticking the box next to the device and setting from the 'Actions' menu.
6 votesRemote Desktop can now be enabled/disabled on multiple devices at once via the main Devices page, as well as enabled automatically when a device enrolls. To enable this for enrollments, see the option under Enrollments > Settings.

Support a device's local time for Software Update Policy for iOS profiles
Currently the start hour and end hour for the profile is based on the account's time zone in the settings. Since we operate devices around the globe, we'd like to easily set one time frame for all devices across our sites. E.g. 7pm to 7am and a checkbox enabled for "Use device's local time".
4 votesThis option is now supported within the Software Update Policy for iOS profile.

Devices API should indicate if phone is in lost mode
The following API
GET https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/devices
Lists detailed information about the device status underattributes.We would like to see an additional attribute for when the device was placed in lost mode and if the device is currently in lost mode.
For example:
{
"is_in_lost_mode": true,
"lost_mode_active_at": "2021-07-13T16:00:54.000-07:00",
}
Since we have a large fleet of devices, we periodically place some of that fleet into lost mode if they go missing, using your existing API.
We would like to build out reporting which would require having lost mode information available in the API.
4 votesThe "lost_mode_enabled" key has been added to the Devices API.
The Logs API can be used to get "lost_mode.enabled" logs to see when the device issued a response indicating that it received the "Enable Lost Mode" command successfully.

Specify package install order during prestage
The prestage_installer pkg that gets used when more than one pkg is assigned to a device group doesn't currently have a method to specify installation.
Some vendors supply their products as multiple packages and some have dependencies of one being installed before another (see: jamf Connect trying to run the installed app if it doesn't detect a LaunchAgent on disk that is installed by another .pkg). For reasons like this, being able to guarantee the order of pkg installation is key.
This request is to implement a way to specify the order of installation from the portal that is used…

Add a column to the device export list for "Filevault key escrowed"

Add extra fields to the device list
The device list currently displays:
Device Name Initial Group Model Status Serial Number EnrollmentIt would be useful to be able to customize the fields being shown to include or exclude any of the fields available, including custom attribute fields.

If there are additional specific attributes you would like, please create a new request.

Implement FileVault recovery key rotation in UI
It would be convenient to be able to rotate FileVault recovery keys from within the SimpleMDM UI as documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/rotate_the_filevault_key rather than running the
fdesetupTerminal command via script or using the API to accomplish this.1 voteHi Eddie,
Thanks for the post. This option is already supported in SimpleMDM. It is available when the existing recovery key is stored in MDM.

Add Device Group Custom Attributes to API
There is currently not a way to read or set the custom attributes of a device group from the API. In order to pull this information into external systems, the API is needed.

Display Architecture of App in Shared Catalog
Many apps now offer separate Intel, Apple Silicon & Universal Binary builds. Knowing which version is available in the shared app catalog will be very useful during the architecture transition.

Add FileMaker to macOS shared apps.
