At WWDC 2025 Apple announced the deprecation of MDM based OS Update commands. These commands included:
ScheduleOSUpdateScanCommand
AvailableOSUpdatesCommand
ScheduleOSUpdateCommand
OSUpdateStatusCommand
At WWDC 2026 and with the OS 27 release Apple announced the full removal of the MDM OS Update commands from ALL OS 27 platforms. This means that in Addigy tvOS, iPadOS, iOS, and macOS 27 devices would not even be able to acknowledge and run an OS Update or Upgrade command when running OS 27. Additionally, with the deprecation on OS 26 Apple did not maintain or patch the existing functionality so the commands often did not work or would not be acknowledged device side when sent from the MDM server.
This means that the Updates tab in GoLive could no longer list updates an OS 26 or OS 27 device because the AvailableOSUpdatesCommand and the reply the device would send back to Addigy would not run and make it back to the MDM. Furthermore, if a one off command could not be sent to the device to install a version as the ScheduleOSUpdateCommand would also not run on device.
The GoLive Updates tab as been redesigned to utilize the newer Apple supported Declarative Status channel that will give updates on OS Update install status on a periodic basis as the device updates the subscriber (Addigy) to the SoftwareUpdateStatus channel. Additionally, the Available Updates listing under the tab has been updated to reflect OS versions that are available to push to the device (based off Model Identifier compatibility listing from Apple) using the Public OS Update and Upgrade installer catalog from Apple. Addigy indexes that catalog from Apple every hour, at the top of the hour. In doing so the device does not rely on the now removed commands device side.
