Use the information in this article to help you add macOS line-of-business apps to Microsoft Intune. You must download an external tool to pre-process your .pkg files before you can upload your line-of-business file to Microsoft Intune. The pre-processing of your .pkg files must take place on a macOS device.

Sep 17, 2018 I have enrolled the Mac OS X laptop to Intune through the Company Portal. The two devices profiles installed are 1. Management Profile and 2. Passcode Profile. The Management Profile's status is verified while the Passcode Profile's status is unverified. As a consequence, none of the password policies are being applied/enforced on the device. Oct 28, 2019 Intune’s macOS support for Apple VPP – the future of enterprise app deployment. Apple announced a new requirement that all macOS software distributed outside Mac App Store be notarized by January 2020. Notarization indicates to Gatekeeper that the app is trusted and free from malware.
Note
Starting with the release of macOS Catalina 10.15, prior to adding your apps to Intune, check to make sure your macOS LOB apps are notarized. If the developers of your LOB apps did not notarize their apps, the apps will fail to run on your users' macOS devices. For more information about how to check if an app is notarized, visit Notarize your macOS apps to prepare for macOS Catalina.
Note
While users of macOS devices can remove some of the built-in macOS apps like Stocks, and Maps, you cannot use Intune to redeploy those apps. If end users delete these apps, they must go to the app store, and manually re install them.
Before your start
You must download an external tool, mark the downloaded tool as an executable, and pre-process your .pkg files with the tool before you can upload your line-of-business file to Microsoft Intune. The pre-processing of your .pkg files must take place on a macOS device. Use the Intune App Wrapping Tool for Mac to enable Mac apps to be managed by Microsoft Intune.
Important
The .pkg file must be signed using 'Developer ID Installer' certificate, obtained from an Apple Developer account. Only .pkg files may be used to upload macOS LOB apps to Microsoft Intune. However, conversion of other formats, such as .dmg to .pkg is supported. For more information about converting non-pkg application types, see How to deploy DMG or APP-format apps to Intune-managed Macs.

Step 4 - Review + create
The app you have created appears in the apps list where you can assign it to the groups you choose. For help, see How to assign apps to groups.
Note
If the .pkg file contains multiple apps or app installers, then Microsoft Intune will only report that the app is successfully installed when all installed apps are detected on the device.
