Hi,

We use beneath script as postinstall in an package, it downloads the newest versions, installs it and register itself.

#!/bin/bash

function ConfigureSkecth () {

echo "date Adding preferences for all users"
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3.plist SUEnableAutomaticChecks -bool NO

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3.plist SUHasLaunchedBefore -bool YES
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3.plist hasShown23Welcome -bool YES
echo "date All preferences are now added"
echo "date Installation is now complete"
echo "date ========== Installation Ended =========="

This worked for me in placing the deployment file but its not set as a hidden file, it saves as an executable, any ideas?

@AtillaTheCYou can try using chflags to change it to hidden. Adding  the . in front of the file should make it hidden already.

Also I saw you are pointing to  ~/path/to/file, the users directory. This will only work for the user running the script. If you are running this script with the trigger login and execution frequency set to ongoing you will be fine.

Try chflags hidden /path/to/file

About the file being an executable, does it still work? Does it license Sketch?

Best of luck.

Reason I'm doing the ~ is because its running via self service and it was the only way to get it to execute that way. It's not working as an executable 

I ended up just creating a separate dmg and policy for the license and running it via a custom trigger to the install package. Working so far and when I need to update the PKG in the future I won't need to mess with the licensing portion.

This works for me doing our deploys. Pieced together from different parts, and has a couple of checks in place if file is there. It needs a little bit of cleanup, but I'm lazy if the script is working for me haha. Just put your serial where the x's are. There are echo statements through it so when you look at the Jamf policy log, you can see steps a little more easier about what it's doing. 

But as I mentioned in my comment previous, I place it in the /Library folder not the user library. Ignore the comments about users at the end, it goes in /Library so every one has it. Also adds the options for not checking for updates. So I can re-deploy when I* know there's one, not when users ask haha

when I run your script it opens to a "enter license screen" even though I put my license key in the field in the beginning. The way i'm deploying, while not the prettiest, is working so i'll leave it as is for now.
