Installing 1Password 8 via MDM
https://1password.community/discussion/comment/663976/#Comment_663976
.
We currently install 1Password 7 via VPP with Jamf. 1Password 8 is currently not on the Mac App Store, I'm happy to switch to a pkg or script based installation method, but I cannot see any way of achieving this. The zip file download from the main page is an installer and not an outright .app or .pkg we can use for distribution.
How, as an enterprise, are we supposed to roll this out to our users who have no permissions to write to /Applications?

Thanks. This is great.

Hello folks,
I'm happy to share that you can now deploy and manage 1Password 8 for Mac with MDM and a PKG installer. You can find more information here:
And the PKG installer itself can be found here:
Thank you again for your patience! ๐

Sorry, I have no new information available. It is still being worked on.

In general on a Mac, an installer should never be an *.app file. It should be a *.pkg file.
Alternatively you can distribute the *.app (the application - not an installer) directly and have it make any necessary changes at first run. However keep in mind that not all users are local admins.Is there any ETA on 1Password 8 as PKG?

Hey 1P_Dave & 1P_Tommy , kicking this rock again. Any further progress you can share regarding the pkg deploys?
If my understanding is correct the online zip/app that is available at the moment is pulling the full package from your online repo and executing and then cleanup.
Is there any chance of having a terminal pull command for the enterprise accounts we could use as part of our MDMs? if the PKG options are still a fair way away.
I could be way off the mark with the executions happening within the app but my cursory glances lead me along these lines.
Cheers
B
