I upgraded to jamf 10.4.0 this morning and I was making the packages for jamf remote.app but composer is now prompting to make apfs vs hfs+. Does it matter which is which? do I need to maintain 2 separate packages now?

If you are making dmg files, it looks like you do. We have found that if you attempt to push a .dmg file that was previously created for hfs+ to an apfs formatted machine it will fail. I have not experienced this with .pkg's. But I haven't fully tested as we are in the early stages of migrating our environment to High Sierra with APFS.

I see. I was afraid of that. Using patch management becomes useless then.

I tried to create a pkg and when I updated it to jamf admin it errors out with something about not being able to use .app files (even though I used a pkg). I'm in the middle of replicating servers so I can't re-try it to verify it wasn't user error though.
