Description
Jamf School does not accept DMGs uploads for In-House Applications. In these situations, the package can be converted to PKG in Composer to upload for deployment. This article provide steps on how to do this.
Converting Your DMG Files to PKG Files in Composer
Open Composer and authenticate locally.
Drag the DMG you want to convert from the Finder folder to the sidebar in Composer. This will automatically create a package in Composer on the left side.
Select the package and click Convert to Source.
When the conversion is complete, a new package source is listed in the sidebar under the Sources heading.
(optional) Click on the various items and folders in the Source and set the permissions for them.
We recommend setting Owner to "root (0)" and Group to "wheel (0)" if you want to give full permissions to the file.
If there are sub items a small gear icon will appear in the lower right which allows you to apply the permissions to subfolders and other enclosed items if you need to set separate permissions for different folders.
Click Build as PKG at the top of Composer and choose a location to save your exported PKG.
Upload your package to Jamf School.
