Disabling slack's autoupdates on macOS

·1 min
MacOS

You will need to create a custom profile on Jamf, this is best done by using the upload feature of “Application & Custom Setting”. For the application domain use com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap and then upload the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
  <key>AutoUpdate</key>
  <false/>
  </dict>
</plist>

If you already had deployed a profile previously, it may be time to revisit your settings. Slack deprecated the old key in October of 2024.
