Hi everyone,
I’m seeing a puzzling behaviour when I push our corporate macOS app via Hexnode as an Enterprise App (Apps → Add → Enterprise App → Upload DMG).
Immediately after the install finishes the device inventory shows two separate records for what is effectively the same app:
| Name | Size | Version | Identifier | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APPNAME | 215.93 MB | 1.1.1 | com.mycompany.enterprise |
Installed |
| APPNAME | 56.43 MB | — | appname |
Installed |
Note: If I package the same build as a PKG and deploy it through the same Enterprise App workflow, only one entry appears with the correct Bundle ID. So the duplicate issue seems DMG-specific.
The DMG really contains just one .app; no helper or launcher.
Questions
1. Is this expected behaviour? Why does Hexnode create a second record even though the DMG holds only one app bundle?
2. Is there any way to make Hexnode read the app’s CFBundleIdentifier while uploading the DMG, so that both records match and the duplicate never appears?
3. Has anyone solved this without converting the DMG to a PKG? I’d appreciate any practical work-arounds or scripts.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
