Packaging Proximity for Enterprise deployment

anthony.petri · ‎02-16-2017

We recently deployed Proximity to our Macintosh computers. Unfortunately,
on our Chief Operating Officer's app got stuck in a bit of a loop where it
was attempting to run a software update and failing.

While she is set now, I wanted to investigate a few things further. Can you
please expound on these things a bit?:

- Could you confirm for me that this app is supposed to be able to
upgrade without local admin rights?

- How could we submit a feature request for disabling automatic updates
(currently not available in the GUI)

- I would like a release cycle document or road map so we can get an
estimate of how often we should expect updates to happen.

Apologies for the late reply.

- Could you confirm for me that this app is supposed to be able to
upgrade without local admin rights?

That should work as long as the user can move files to that location. If /Applications/ is failing, try to install to the users' Applications/ folder.

- How could we submit a feature request for disabling automatic updates
(currently not available in the GUI)

I'm sorry, this is not implemented.

- I would like a release cycle document or road map so we can get an
estimate of how often we should expect updates to happen.

Currently, we have no predictable release cycle. New feature development for Proximity is temporarily halted, and we have been releasing bug fixes every few months.
