Install applicable Apple Software Updates for Apple Software

Problem

When installing certain Apple software on a Mac - like Final Cut Pro & Motion - additional updates become available via Apple's Software Update mechanism.

As this software is subject to change by Apple, it's not a great long-term solution to import these into your munki_repo for deployment.

Solution

If you are using something like reposado to mirror Apple's Software Update content and enable munki to install these available updates for you, you can use this in combination with jamJAR to install this available content after the initial software install.

Use Jamf Policy and jamJAR.py script to install Final Cut Pro or Motion and trigger a subsequent managedsoftwareupdate run to install these updates.
