User should be able to specify the target platforms and versions for the profile, which then would make the interface only show payload keys and types that are valid in that platform setting.

The ui for that settings is currently greyed out in the settings popover.

Where is the console log with crash inside.

Implement the profile preview in the main window.

This view will contain a preview of the selected profiles settings, payloads and possible errors to be corrected.

Currently the place for the preview only shows "x profile selected".

Hello

Regarding third part project used in your code, you should use git subtree instead of submodule to simplify the source management

http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/05/alternatives-to-git-submodule-git-subtree/

subtree is appropriate to import a required third part repo into a specific project.
submodule is made to make inclusion of specific part of code optional. Imagine you're working on a big project with client, server and lib, you might not want to clone everything when you code but still have a centralized repo with everything read for build.

A feature to add a JSS, and through the API download, edit and upload profiles would be really useful.

The default profile name displayed when creating a new profile should be displayed as a placeholder instead of a real content.

(plus instead of "Untitled Profile..." it should be "Untitled Profile…" since … is a specific char and not just three dot)

When attempting to create a manifest with a placeholder value as an integer ProfileCreator will use the value of 1 instead of my placeholder. This works with string but pfm_value_placeholder needs to match pfm_type from my tests.

Pretty low priority issue but it can be replicated with the following using 0.1 beta3 of ProfileCreator.

<dict>
    <key>pfm_app_min</key>
    <string>3.0.0</string>
    <key>pfm_default</key>
    <true/>
    <key>pfm_description</key>
    <string>Change how often the Microsoft AutoUpdate daemon will look for updates. The default is 720 minutes (12 hrs). By reducing this value MAU will look for updates sooner.</string>
    <key>pfm_name</key>
    <string>UpdateCheckFrequency</string>
    <key>pfm_title</key>
    <string>Update check frequency</string>
    <key>pfm_type</key>
    <string>integer</string>
    <key>pfm_value_placeholder</key>
    <integer>720</integer>
</dict>

Create a profile with a group selected, the view is inserted in the table view, but when selecting another group and then back causes the profile to disappear.

Need to keep a reference to "never saved profiles and what group they belong in.

When exporting profiles, the user should get a view inspecting the settings for the profile being exported, and in the cases it's possible, allow the user to override them.

For example, scope, organization, distribution method etc.

User should be able to specify the scope, distribution and if the profile should show "supervised" keys, which then would make the interface only show payload keys and types that are valid for that setting.

The ui for that settings is currently active in the settings popover, but not implemented.

Update tabs to look like Safari tabs, that looks like they belong to the toolbar, instead of the site.

All content dictionary celltypes need to conform to the protocol before the application can be released.

They all need to conform to:

• populateCellView... (What's shown in the UI)
• verifyCellType... (If there are any errors, required fields etc.)
• createPayloadForCellType... (Export correct payload key and value)
• lintReportForManifestContentDict... (Not really required but extremely encouraged.)

CellType Progress:

• Checkbox
• DatePicker
• DatePickerNoTitle
• File
• PopUpButton
• PopUpButtonLeft
• RadioButton
• SegmentedControl
• TableView
  • TableViewCheckbox
  • TableViewPopUpButton
  • TableViewTextField
  • TableViewTextFieldNumber
• TextField
• TextFieldCheckbox
• TextFieldDaysHoursNoTitle
• TextFieldHostPort
• TextFieldHostPortCheckbox
• TextFieldNumber
• TextFieldNumberLeft
• TextLabel
• TextView

Create a copy of all payloads and settings available in Profile Manager so the application can replace Profile manager for those just wanting to create profiles.

The filer search field in the editor library view is currently not connected to anything.

This will have to be implemented.

In the proof of concept application, this field also stored the searches between all libraries, this is what needs to be done when implemented.

When basic string matching is done, options to search for other things should be available, like searching for specific keys, and or combinations.

Split the giant ProfileEditor window controller's views into their own view controllers and classes, like the main window to make it easier to overview and to make future changes.

On export, if the profile have been exported before, add a feature to automatically increment the payload version if the payload have changed.

This should possibly be a setting per payload, also an override on export to not do that when testing.

The implementation might be a hash of the settings on export, connected to the version. Then, on next export, compare hashes and if they differ, increment the version number if not overridden.

I noticed that when switching through the tabs under the Applications (Munki, NoMAD) that "General" remains depressed/highlighted even when other tabs are selected. In the case of this screenshot I have the "Log" tab selected. This is running on macOS 10.12.6.

The "Smart Group" is supposed to work like smart folders in mail etc. where it's a set of criteria where any profile that matches will be included in the group automatically. Works like a static search.

The Group Interface item is implemented, but not the functionality.

The search field in the Main Window is not connected to an actual search method. This will need to be implemented.

Considerations have to be take to how this should be done effectively, as currently the profile table view array is just a UUID-list and when a profile is selected or edited, it's fetched from the profile library class.

The search would have to search in the library class to get the actual values. Another issue with that is that settings are stored as the indetifier, UUID, and not a value, so searches or smart groups that want to find all profilest with value x for key y would need to retrieve that information in a possibly costly operation. This needs thought and testing.

The prompt for keychain access comes out of nowhere and may confuse users who don't connect the "need keychain access to sign things" with the prompt right away. It should only pop up when actually trying to sign a profile for the first time, or when selecting the signing certificate in preferences. Perhaps when setting your certificate in preferences, the UI could be a button to load available certificates that triggers the prompt the first time (or successive times if the user doesn't click Always Allow)?

Can not save my profile as ConfigurationProfile.
I'm getting an error: "The document "profilename" could not be saved as "filename"

If all windows are closed, but the application is running.

If the user clicks the dock icon, the Main Window should be shown.

Currently all settings are stored in the plain text plist template format.

This is not ideal for profiles containing payload keys with sensitive information like preshared keys, passwords etc.

These fields should be marked in the framework, and then display a UI warning that they will be saved in plain text.

Later, when an application keychain is implemented, this marking will be used to determine what settings should be stored there.

Create a copy of all payloads and settings available in MCX so the application can replace MCX for those just wanting to create profiles.

One of the things that make autopkg great is the way it allows individuals to commit their own recipes (and find recipes of others) without having to change the app itself. I don't know how hard this would be to achieve in swift, but have you thought of a way users can maintain their own profiles and offer them to the community?

Let's use menu.nomad.login.ad as an example. Maybe users could subscribe to a repo containing the profile and every time a new key is added, ProfileCreator would detect the change and update the reference in the app.

I'm aware that this would add some complexity, but it would allow ProfileCreator to focus on a set of core profiles to maintain (probably the macOS/iOS ones) vs patching every change in every supported profile.

When no payload is present in the payload library, the "No Payloads" view is shown.

If you drag a payload from the profiles part back down on the library part, no focus ring is shown when hovering that view. This should be fixed.

Create a copy of all payloads and settings available in Apple Configurator so the application can replace Apple Configurator for those just wanting to create profiles.

Currently, the only way to edit a profile is by double-click.

Should add an edit button beside the create button. As well as an edit menu item in the application menu.

Implement visual and descriptive error when a profile contains error in the configuration.

Examples:

• Missing a required field.
• Invalid input in a field, not matching requirements.
• Mismatching scope/distribution/platform in selected payloads.
• etc.

Need to verify all fields export correctly.

Currently, the button "Settings" opens the settings view.

But it doesn't remember where you were editing before, so you would have to click in the library list again to get back. A good feature should be to make the settings button a toggle instead to be able to just bring up the settings and change a thing and dismiss them without leaving your place in the app.

The settings button might not be logical in it's currently implementation and might change to just a menu item, or move etc.

Also the settings view, if it will be made just a quick view to put "over" the profile editor, that might change it's looks to be more like a sheet that's not attached to the window top. This is just speculations so I've saved them somewhere.

Create a parser to handle MCX settings to Profile Manifest and Settings.

Should handle both server and local if there are any differences.

When looking at ManagedClient.app, the manifests included there doesn't cover all of MCX, so my first idea of just parsing the manifests wont work. Need to create static manifests for the MCX settings.

Need to add the enable/disable checkbox for single payload keys to allow user to select only the keys he/she want's to use in the profile.

The enable/disable checkbox is currently greyed out in the settings popover.

This is useful for the "standard" mode of operation, and in the additive custom state it won't be used where you start empty and only add what you need.

There need to be an option for signing the profiles on export.

This setting should have a default in the application preferences with a default selected signing certificate. An option in the editor to set per profile, and then an override option on export to change or verify the certificate used and to check/uncheck that a profile should be signed.

When attempting to add the banner message to the login window payload, the values entered are not being saved. It seems to be removing the values whenever another option is selected. I also noticed that no values are being moved over to the xml view.

The old MCX settings are still relevant in profile format, but not all are converted by Apple.

This means a new library with all MCX-settings need to be added.

There is a need to store sensitive information in a secure way, and an application keychain should be a good implementation where all fields marked as sensitive in some way will store their settings.

Enable the localization strings files throughout the application.

Most UI strings use the LocalizedStrings macro, but the application need to be checkd again, and the strings files need to be created.

Also, the how the localization extends into the framework will have to be verified and implemented.

This list will be added to the new group type in the main window along with Installed Profiles.

Idea is to be able to see currently configured MCX settings in selected Open Directory and export them as profiles.

In the Application Preferences I've added Open Directory connection settings that work and can connect and get all MCX-settings. No MCX parser has been created.

Look the attached video, when playing with the bouncing scroll view we see a previous view behind.

UI bug.zip

This list will be added to the new group type in the main window along with MCX from an Open Directory.

Idea is to be able to see currently installed profiles and throught the application modify, or re-export them.

This list will be added to the new group type in the main window along with Installed Profiles.

Idea is to be able to see currently configured local MCX settings and export them as profiles.

A way to duplicate a profile should be added to the application menu, and possible the future right-click contextual menu to allow a profile with all it's settings to be duplicated.

When editing a profile (for example AD certs) the tab key don't allow to pass from field to field.

The Main Window has a sorting interface item (PopUp Button) in place, but no method attahed. Currently the main window profile table view doesn't handle any sorting.

Will have to define and implement sorting, like Mail.app where you can select on what to sort, and either ascending or descending.

When you click save on the profile creation window, the profile is saved in the background but there's no visible action taken (i.e. window close)

All payload collections from Profile Manager and Apple Configurator 2 are going to be added.

This issue will keep track of those implemented and the ones remaining.

The order in which these are being implemented is up to requests. If you want to see a specific payload collection sooner, please comment here and I'll prioritize it higher. Else, I will add those I think are most useful to the most people first.

Payload collections only targeting iOS will not be prioritized, unless there is a demand. I assume profiles for macOS will be more relevant for administrators using this tool.

Those with parenthesis show if the payload collection only targets a single platform.

Custom Settings is not included here, as that is will be implemented in an entirely separate part of the application.

If you see any errors or payload collections missing, please comment and I'll update the list.

Implement adding multiple payloads for the payload types that allow it.

This is a basic feature, will be implemented pretty soon.

In the app there is only enable/disable for checkCertificateTrust. The value for this key should be an integer:

0 certificate trust check is turned off
1 certificate trust check is turned on
2 certificate trust check is turned on and revocation check is set to the soft level
3 certificate trust check is turned on and revocation check is set to the hard level

For first release only include the os x only payloads.

NOTE: Will not include the custom settings payload, that will be added separately.
