So I was looking at deploying the updated Adobe apps using the Mac Apps feature rather than packaging up from the admin console and making a policy. 
 

However;

 

Apparently you can only target one group. O.N.E. group for deployment. Since I want to stage the deployment to different labs rather than all at once (by making yet another smart group), I would have to add multiple instances of the app.

Blueprints can be deployed to multiple targets, So can software updates. Why can’t Mac Apps do the same? Am I missing something?

No, you’re not missing anything. That’s the current state of app installers.

 

However, if you do setup multiple Mac App Installers for the same software, JAMF Pro at least understands that a machine might belong to multiple such groups and only applies once. That’s what the “unqualified” status means in the deployment tab of a Mac App Installer “policy”.
