Convert .APP to .PKG

[soportetpco]

Hi everyone, I need to convert the macOS Mojave which is .app to a package in order to configure the update through self service, can anyone help me with the steps please.

Launch the Composer app. Drag the isntaller to the Composer window. Make package.

easy.

@soportetpco Composer is great! I'd recommend looking at @Rosko's in-place upgrade/eraseinstall workflow here. I just ran this and can confirm that the most recent release (v2.7.0) of the script works wonderfully.

You can also drag Install macOS Mojave.app straight into Jamf Admin. Jamf admin will recognize it as as a MacOS installer, tar it up and make it deplorable as a package in a policy.

This also holds true.

Another tool that was created by a fellow jamfnation member @mm2270 is App-Packager in case you find yourself on a machine without jamf composer installed

Glad its working for everyone! Haven't fully completed the macOS 10.14 testing, but so far all has been great. We also just updated the readme recently to include this simple one liner that can be run from Terminal.

pkgbuild --install-location /Applications --component "/path/to/macOSInstallerApp" "/path/to/xxxxx.pkg"
