Has anyone ran DEPNotify on an M1 Mac and notice the Image command doesn't work? Just want to make sure it's not just me.



I also notice in https://gitlab.com/Mactroll/DEPNotify/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md that DEPNotify was updated recently but the compiled/notarized download either isn't available yet or hiding somewhere that I haven't found yet.

@dng2000 I have found version 1.1.6 on Slack channel #DEPNotify


@carlo.anselmi Thanks for your tip. I'll find that tomorrow when I'm back at work. Thanks again! :)


Did you have a look here, seems to be there now.


@typeraj 1.1.6 in that GitHub page is just source codes. I found the PKG for 1.1.6 on the Slack channel #DEPNotify that Carlo mentioned and I tested that today. My problem is still the Image command still doesn't work and I have not learned Swift yet so that's why I didn't touch the codes although I could have replaced the default image with my organization's logo but that would be an entirely different story.


It took me a while to discover this "Easter egg" but my org's logo finally showed up in DEPNotify in Big Sur (even on v1.1.5) after I commented out the command for WindowTitle. It worked in SampleTest.sh and when I compared that with my script, that was it. Somehow the Image command is ignored in Big Sur (both Intel and M1) when WindowTitle is used.



/bin/echo "Command: Image: /private/tmp/ucsf_logo.png" >> /var/tmp/depnotify.log
/bin/echo "Command: WindowTitle: UCSF IT Field Services" >> /var/tmp/depnotify.log
/bin/echo "Command: MainTitle: Hostname: $(/usr/sbin/scutil --get ComputerName)" >> /var/tmp/depnotify.log
/bin/echo "Command: MainText: Please wait while we set up this Mac with standard UCSF software and security configuration. This may take up to 1 hour depending on network speed.

This Mac will automatically reboot afterwards.

Please do not interrupt this process until it's done." >> /var/tmp/depnotify.log
