Hello,

I am trying to uninstall iMovie on managed devices. We initially pushed the app through a policy for some reason I do not remember. Since iMovie is asking users to sign into apple id in order to update to the latest version it is not working since we restrict the app store and apple id. We now want to push the iMovie app through the JAMF pro app catalog to make it easier to update. I tried pushing the app through the jamf catalog with the app already installed but it does not seem to download the latest version and remains at the version installed from the policy. What would be the best way to uninstall the app that was pushed through a policy?

You could be using the Uninstaller script to remove applications.

If you want to keep it, you could purchase through volume purchasing. That doesn’t require an Apple ID/account
