Custom Apps

Published by Iru, Inc.

Configure Custom Apps settings to deploy proprietary software, internally developed applications, and third-party packages that aren't available through standard application catalogs directly to Apple endpoints. This profile enables IT administrators to upload installation packages in PKG, DMG, or ZIP formats, define installation parameters, set deployment conditions, and manage version control for custom or line-of-business applications. Custom Apps extends software management capabilities beyond public app stores by supporting legacy applications, vendor-specific tools, licensed software with custom configurations, and internally built solutions while maintaining centralized deployment workflows and installation tracking through the Iru agent.

Configure Custom Scripts settings to execute automation workflows, system maintenance tasks, and remediation procedures across macOS endpoints using shell scripts, Python, Ruby, or other supported interpreters. This profile enables IT administrators to deploy scripts with flexible execution modes including one-time installation runs or continuous enforcement checks, define custom audit logic to assess device compliance states, and attach remediation scripts that automatically correct configuration drift when audit conditions fail. Custom Scripts extends management capabilities beyond standard profiles by enabling complex automation workflows, legacy system integrations, custom reporting functions, and intelligent self-healing configurations that maintain desired device states without manual intervention.

In-House Apps streamlines deployment of proprietary mobile software by eliminating App Store review processes, enabling rapid iteration cycles for internal development teams, maintaining complete control over distribution and versioning, and ensuring employees access business-critical mobile applications immediately upon device enrollment.
