    I've used Yo with some degree of success, but it hasn't been updated in a while, so I'm not sure if it would be supported on macOS 12 and 13.

    I hear that `terminal-notifier` is pretty much dead and a better replacement with new MacOS APIs is [0]. In any case, I opted against it because iTerm actually supports this natively, in addition to a few other neat features, and it will work over SSH. I wrote about my solution here [1].

  • Is there a way to have different Jamf Enrollment Profiles?
    1 project | /r/jamf | 17 Apr 2023
    If they are running macOS 11+ and they are admins (which i assume they are) i would get them enrolled, and make a swiftDialog - https://github.com/bartreardon/swiftDialog prompt that is pushed repeatedly until they install it. Track who has not yet installed it and pester their managers if they dont, but this will require buy in at every level or they will just ignore you. good luck.

    It still works but you may find better options using Swift Dialog going forward - Dan Snelson has been doing quite a bit with it.

    Using Bart Reardon’s swiftDialog and Jamf Pro Policy Script Parameters, creating engaging end-user messages is easy.

    I was making a lot of my packages with Composer, so very similar. I’m currently looking into updating my Installomator scripts to start leveraging the new swiftDialog integration - looks very clean.

    There's also swiftDialog, which I just learned exists last week via a video from the MacDevOpsYVR conference.
