Is there a way to automatically uninstall an app deployed via the catalog? It would be super helpful to be able to automatically remove the old Adobe apps so that we don't either end up with duplicate titles installed or having to disable all deployments then run an uninstall package, track the progress, and then enable the new deployment.

hi @abutterman 
Thanks for sharing this. Although App Installers don't provide 'uninstall' option yet, we will keep this in mind while discussing future improvements.

Setup a script to force quit and uninstall the application, then apply the script via a policy.  This has worked for us when we moved to a new product and had to remove the old one.

# Force Quit the app
ps aux | grep "AppExample.app" | grep -v "grep" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -15

# Uninstall App
rm -rf "/Applications/AppExample.app"
