BlueJeans now provides a zipped .app instead of a pkg.
Has this actually settled down into something manageable? Every time I look at Bluejeans they've made some major change and never for the better; it's all just juggling bad things and recombining them in different ways. I think the wisest course of action for myself is to declare bankruptcy and just remove these recipes...
They came out with a .app and got rid of the PKG so I switched it to their sparklefeed. But then someone must have complained to the right person because they came out with a PKG again.
I have a PR open with moofit to switch to the new package but I haven't tested the whole opening once as the user to prevent it from downloading/installing to ~/Applications.
I haven't tested it at all actually. It might work totally fine and dandy.
Right, and the whole "ensure you are launching the App once right after installation" bit still makes it essentially impossible to mass-deploy.
Just confirmed that it does that ~/Applications/BlueJeans.app install trash if you install the pkg on a fresh machine and go to a BlueJeans link without ever having opened the .app.
Sigh. For mass deployment I see no way to automate the "ensure you are launching the App once right after installation" bit in a useful way. I wish we knew what that actually accomplishes.
Interestingly enough, if user A launches /Users/A/Applications/BlueJeans.app and user B subsequently logs in and goes to a BlueJeans link, it doesn't prompt them to download the app and instead launches the /Applications/BlueJeans.app that Munki installed.
I re-PR'd the changes for the .download as the download was failing (https://github.com/autopkg/moofit-recipes/pull/23)
Could re-PR this one too, but would be the same changes.
Launching the current download (2.12.0.423), from /Applications & trying to join a meeting as Guest did not result in any Admin prompts etc.. so looks ok
@gregneagle can this be re-opened?
I think I am going to Marie Condo-ize this set of recipes as they do not spark joy.
They do not result in a Blue Jeans installation that meets my standards and so I don't even use these recipes any longer. They are just a burden.
So DeprecationNotifier -- here it comes!
sample runs for the munki and install recipes:
