Hi all, looking for a bit of help with Chrome. I am looking to add it as a 2nd browser on some Macs. I have a super basic package that literally drops the app in the Applications folder.



I have used @talkingmoose shared for managed notifications to manage the notifications for Chrome but I am still seeing another one and I don't know what it is for (see screenshot).



Any ideas greatly received!
.

Did you ever get this resolved? I am experiencing this as well using the same guide from Jamf's @talkingmoose . Users still receive notifications during initial deployment of Chrome.



Additionally, do you have a workflow (configuration profile or otherwise) to manage Chrome settings on first launch? Including the "GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle"?



Thank you

@wilko_andy and @randy.andersen, it took a bit of digging, but the I believe the bundle ID you want to use for the second Google Chrome is com.google.Chrome.framework.AlertNotificationService.



I too saw the double Google Chrome and that bundle ID worked for me.

Thank you, that worked.

Thanks @talkingmoose , huge help as always!



No idea how you tracked down that bundle ID but added it to my PLIST and now allows me to completely manage both Chrome notifications.

@talkingmoose Maybe I missed it somewhere, can you please share the first bundle ID as well? Appreciated.



NVM I think it's just the standard com.google.Chrome

@petestanley, can you please share which PLIST you added these bundle IDs to, to manage both sets of Chrome notifications? I'm trying to avoid pushing these out via a Configuration Profile, as I'm not against our users modifying them if need be. Is it possible to simply add these to the Google Chrome install Policy?

@user-euWWiRePoQ As far as I know, there's no way to set it centrally and allow users to override.

The preference itself sits in /Library/Managed\\ Preferences/com.apple.notificationsettings.plist when deployed via MDM configuration profile:

{
NotificationSettings = (
{
AlertType = 1;
BadgesEnabled = 1;
BundleIdentifier = "com.google.Chrome";
NotificationsEnabled = 1;
ShowInLockScreen = 0;
ShowInNotificationCenter = 1;
},
{
AlertType = 1;
BadgesEnabled = 1;
BundleIdentifier = "com.google.Chrome.framework.AlertNotificationService";
NotificationsEnabled = 1;
ShowInLockScreen = 0;
ShowInNotificationCenter = 1;
}
);
PayloadUUID = "123456-123456-123456-123456-123456";
}

 

Believe if not set via MDM profile, it could live in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.notificationsettings.plist. Perhaps if set there would allow users to override?

@jchen1225 
com.google.Chrome
com.google.Chrome.framework.AlertNotificationService

can you share the completed deployment script for chrome that included the notifications and prompts going away?

Hi @petestanley ,

To query the notification center database, just type this command line in the Terminal:

sqlite3 "$(getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR)/com.apple.notificationcenter/db2/db" "select * from app;"

All the applications domains/bundles IDs that uses the Notification Center will show up.
