Jamf Switcher – 1.2

#4 – Adds “Find Policy” functionality via CMD + F or Window > Find Policy.

#6 – Adds “Export” functional via CMD + E or Window > Export.
#7 – Adds full screen support.
#8 – Tested on Big Sur with amendments made as needed.

For #4, #5, and #6 these work across any Jamf Pro listed in the main view. So if searching for a sub section then they will be enacted upon our their details will be exported, alone.

#4 and the #5 happen via the Jamf Pro API, as such you’ll be asked for details which will be stored in your keychain for when those options are ran again.

Notifier – 2.2.3

There have actually been a few releases over the past two months, with the last addressing #9:

com.apple.notificationcenterui2 has been the bundle ID of Notification Centre up to BS B9.. now it’s com.apple.notificationcenteru, which is the same as any macOS before.

So can revert the changes for this and the issue with the if #available API and BS is now moot as not needed for BS checking anymore.

As such, Big Sur b9+ supported.
