Keynote 6 and iPhoto 9.5

[KyleGDG]

Hi There,

New to Casper. As more and more apps are released via the app store, it feels less obvious how best to deploy applications like Keynote 6 and iPhoto 9.5 via Casper. Has anyone been able to successfully package these two apps? Should one just run composer while the App Store installs these on a system?

I utilize @rtrouton method of grabbing the installer from the App Store:

Once I have the installer downloaded, I simply drop that into Casper Admin.

@stevewood mentioned the best way to do it. Be aware of some apps needing, or not needing, the _MASReceipt folder under:

/Applications/<AppName>/Contents/_MASReceipt

sometimes just the folder needs to exists or you may need a blank "receipts" file in there. Refer to: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=10327 for some more information on that. I had issues with GarageBand working without this folder, and from what I understand if that folder doesn't exist it may not report as needing an update from the App Store. In some environments you may not to want your end-user updating apps with their own AppleID in the App Store. Good luck!
