Changelog

Added

• WiFi SSID information is now included in the device information
• New option to hide tray menu icon. This allows for using the desktop information window without displaying the tray menu icon. Example configuration:

<key>TrayMenuShowIcon</key>
<false/>

• Support for monitoring Jamf application patches. When in Jamf mode, the app will now monitor for pending application patches and display them in the tray menu as well as in the main app. The badge will also be displayed in the tray menu icon when there are pending application patches. Requires the use of Self Service+.

Changed

• MDM info now uses multiple MDM profile names to be able to correctly display the enrollment time.
• The privileged helper tool has been migrated to SMAppService in place of SMJobBless since SMJobBless is deprecated in macOS 14 and later.

Fixed

• File watcher would not correctly detect changes on custom JSON cards if the file was replaced instead of modified. This has been fixed by using a different method to monitor file changes.
• The pending updates badge on Software Updates was transparent in the main app.

SupportCompanion 2.2.0.81009

Notes

This is a version of Support Companion created by GitHub Actions.
SupportCompanion.app has been signed and notarized. The package has been signed, notarized and stapled.

Changelog

Changed

• A slight background has been added increasing visaibility of the text.
• Main window is now slightly resizeable to allow for window to be resized to a smaller size.
• Last reboot time is now monitored and updated every 5 minutes. Displaying in minutes, hours or days depending on the time since last reboot.
• Battery temperature will adapt to the configured measurement system in macOS and show temp in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• Storage API has been changed for a more accurate reading of actual storage used.
• "Is Admin" will now display "yes" or "no" localized instead of enabled or disabled.
• In addition to only checking if Company Portal exists when dynamically setting the Mode to use, the server url will now also be checked. If the server url contains "i.manage.microsoft.com", the MDM will be set to Intune. This is because Company Portal can validly exist on a device without the device being managed by Intune.
• Button labels on actions can now be set to a custom value. This allows for admins to set custom labels for actions that are displayed in the Self Service page. Example configuration:

<dict>
    <key>Command</key>
    <string>open https://github.com/macadmins/supportcompanion</string>
    <key>Description</key>
    <string/>
    <key>Icon</key>
    <string>heart.fill</string>
    <key>Name</key>
    <string>Open Intranet</string>
    <key>ButtonLabel</key>
    <string>Open</string>
</dict>

Fixed

• Artifacts were being left behind on the desktop window when IP address was updated.

Added

• The configured logo will now be displayed in the tray menu as well. Can be hidden by setting ShowLogoInTrayMenu to false in the configuration.
• A new option to show the desktop information window "frosted". This allows for a frosted glass effect on the desktop information window. Example configuration:

<key>DesktopInfoBackgroundFrosted</key>
<true/>

• A new option to show a custom view in the navigation bar based on a Markdown file. This allows for creating a custom view with custom information relevant to your organization. Example configuration:

<key>MarkdownFilePath</key>
<string>/path/to/custom/view.md</string>
<key>MarkdownMenuLabel</key>
<string>Custom View</string>
<key>MarkdownMenuIcon</key>
<string>doc.text</string>

• A new option to show custom cards in the navigation bar. This allows for displaying large numbers of cards without cluttering the home view, by moving them to their own view. Example configuration:

<key>CustomCardsMenuLabel</key>
<string>Custom Cards</string>
<key>CustomCardsMenuIcon</key>
<string>doc.text</string>
<key>CustomCardPath</key>
<string>/path/to/custom/cards.json</string>

• A new option to trigger actions using the CLI. This allows for triggering actions using the CLI instead of the UI. This can be useful for automating actions or triggering actions from a script. By default, actions configured as privileged will require authentication. This can be disabled by setting RequirePrivilegedActionAuthentication to false. Example usage:

/Applications/SupportCompanion.app/Contents/Resources/SupportCompanionCLI action "Restart clipboard"

• Additional arguments to the CLI to allow for getting additional information that is displayed in the app. Example usage:

/Applications/SupportCompanion.app/Contents/Resources/SupportCompanionCLI battery

Example output:

🔋 Battery Information
-----------------------
Health:          93% 🔋
Cycle Count:     37
Temperature:     36.7°C 🌡️
Charging Status: Not Charging
Time Remaining:  N/A

• A new feature that allows for user elevation of standard users to admin users. This feature is useful for instances where a user needs to perform an action that requires admin rights. The user can request elevation by clicking the Elevate button in the tray menu or Identity menu. The admin can configure wether a reason is required, how long the reason must be and if the reason should be sent via a webhook to a specified URL or saved to disk. Example configuration:

<key>EnableElevation</key>
<true/>
<key>RequireResonForElevation</key>
<true/>
<key>ReasonMinLength</key>
<integer>20</integer>
<key>MaxElevationTime</key>
<integer>60</integer>
<key>ElevationWebhookUrl</key>
<string>https://webhook.url</string>
<key>ShowElevateTrayCard</key>
<true/>
<key>ElevationSeverity</key>
<integer>6</integer>

Example of JSON payload sent to webhook:

{
  "severity" : 6,
  "date" : "2024-12-16T11:21:01Z",
  "host" : "Tobias's MacBook",
  "user" : "tobias",
  "serial" : "H123456789",
  "reason" : "Awesome dev stuff"
}
