MobileDeviceApplication always appears in Self Service even when in_self_service=false

[carolinebeauchamp]

When creating a new MobileDeviceApplication, even when in_self_service is set to false, the app is created as "In self service" and the self service tab appears in Jamf.

Looking at the XML applied, deployment_type is set to Install Automatically/Prompt Users to Install, and this is applied successfully with no errors.

What appears to be missing is the deploy_automatically attribute being included and set to true - I hacked this into the code and that made the app appear in the right place.

I don't, however, know how that will affect all the other types of self-servable objects, as this code is shared between them all.

Thanks for the report! I'll dig into it and let you know if I need more info. You can thank Jamf for the PITA inconsistencies in how things deal with Self Service in the Classic API - I've sent them long rants about it in the past ;-)

Also, congrats on submitting on the 10-year anniversary of ruby-jss being open-source!

Cheers,

Hi Caroline,

Can you send me the changes you made to fix things on your end? That'll speed up my process, and I can probably just integrate them, making sure all the other SelfServable objects behave properly.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Yay! 10 years, amazing 🍰 I yes, I thank Jamf every day for their wonderful API with it's extensive and detailed documentation! Spent many days recently with that joy ;)

I added in

in_ss_section_xml.add_element("deploy_automatically").text = "true"

in self_servable.rb at line 859 ( def add_in_self_service_xml(doc_root))

Like I said, very hacky to proof of concept it. Not quite sure how to implement it across all the different object types in a less hacky way :(

Thanks

Caroline
