The VMware Workspace ONE Admin Assistant tool helps you to manage applications through Internal Apps (Full Software Distribution) in Workspace ONE UEM.
This tool is built using makepkginfo from Munki to parse application installers for the required metadata.
makepkginfo extract metadata from macOS software installers into a pkginfo plist file
pkginfo file is a plist file which contains the metadata like name, version, install, receipts etc.
pkginfo file can be customized for the advanced application deployment like including applyChoiceChangesXML, make an component optional etc.
Workspace ONE UEM uses this pkginfo file with application installer to manage the deployment in the UEM console
The tool also extract the icon image from the application installer
The tool allows to parse .app, .pkg, .mpkg and .app files
Workspace ONE UEM Console uses the name, display_name, version etc. from the pkginfo plist
Workspace ONE UEM Console DOES NOT allow editing the name, display_name or version in the console. The key values have to edited in the plist before uploading to console.
Name from the plist will be used by Workspace ONE UEM for creating an unique Application ID (Ex. com.vmw.macos.Chrome) for the particular app
Application ID will be unique for each application
