How are you installing the package? Shouldn't have to worry about signing or notarizing as long as you're distributing it through a Jamf Pro policy.

If maybe you're running into issues packaging up TestNav.app I have an AutoPkg recipe that'll take care of all that for you. https://github.com/autopkg/nstrauss-recipes/tree/master/TestNav

What a cool tool you have created!! I'll be spending my afternoon knocking this out. Thanks for sharing!

@nstrauss
I have linked your AutoPKG Recipe in the JAMF Nation Third-Party Products Notice for TestNav!
https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/third-party-products/453/testnav

We are having the same issues here.
@nstrauss I see the recipe, wondering how we go about using this script? Where it is placed in the policy? and finally do we download 1.7.3, then set the policy to run this recipe?
Thank you.

We're on 1.8.2

@rhooper I'm just getting my feet wet on this too. Check out this YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqK-MAEZekI&list=PLV1wEWCirs4H09Ojo4VqFpT-4GZlvHb2v Super helpful in breaking it down. I'm using @nstrauss recipes as well, still having trouble getting past all the security prompts. Package continues to give students prompts and they are not admin on their own devices. But I'm still working on it. It's nice to have people in the community sharing resources!

@swallace You're probably referring to a PPPC/TCC accessibility permissions prompts when launching TestNav. You'll want to read up on PPPC since it comes up a lot on macOS Mojave and beyond.

You can use a PPPC profile within Jamf Pro to whitelist accessibility which in turn won't prompt users. Here's an example of how I have it set up...

There's also Jamf's PPPC Utility to help create and upload PPPC profiles. Usually I'll drag/drop an app to PPPC Utility, configure permissions, and then save locally. From there I can use the generated profile as a guide to create the profile using Jamf's GUI. There's also an option to upload directly to Jamf to not have to fiddle around with all that.

The PPPC works great in my world. But still cannot get the TestNav 1.8.2 to load and run. although I did perform a test.
TestNav PPPC utility pushed out to one device, then installed the TestNav package. Seemed nice not to have to approve the app with KEXT files.
TestNav runs fine if downloaded from the Pearson site, but cannot push it out with JAMF. TestNav 1.7.3 pushes out fine and runs on the older OS 10.13.x and later... just not 10.14.x.

@rhooper In the same boat. I've just packaged 1.7.3, keeping my fingers crossed for a better outcome! Thanks for the idea.

@rhooper any issues with 1.7.3 being out of date?

@swallace swallaceyesvit does not run on mojave or higher. But i was using that as a referwnce that 1.7
3 pushesbout, installed, and well at least launched and said out of date. Something changed in the 1.8.2 app and playing well with mojave.
1.7
3 ran real well on high sierra and lower... and still does when i pushbit to those devices but qe upgraded 90% of our devices this summer.

How did you all get around the input monitoring pppc request that the test nav app wants since that cannot be made into a profile and also requires admin credentials? Also did you have to send a command to disable siri since that is a requirement for the test nav app?
