Hello everyone, you can probably help me with a request.

I created a configuration profile for software updates in Jamf Pro, and I enabled "Automatically install app updates from the App Store" because I always want to have the latest updates for apps installed from the App Store.

However, there is one app that I don’t want to update automatically, and that’s Xcode. This app must not auto-update, because newer versions of Xcode don't always work for our developers.

I deploy Xcode via the Mac Apps - App Store section. In the settings, I disable "Automatically force app updates", but it still seems to update on its own.

Do you have any idea what I could do?

Jamf support told me that since it’s an app installed from the App Store, it’s not possible to block automatic updates for that app only.

Any ideas?

Thanks all

Is the deployment method in install for this app?

The app is available for installation from our self-service portal; it is not installed automatically.


then it shouldn't update automatically, I also done the similar setup
