Step 1: If you want to install software not available in the list, click on add application.

Step 2: Select Custom application package.

Step 3: Drop your custom package (macOS supports .dmg and .pkg. And Windows supports .msi, .ps1, .exe, and .nupkg.), and Swif will automatically create a deployment profile and fill in the necessary fields. This profile will define how the software should be installed on the device.

Step 4: Click on upload to push the software package update to the selected devices and initiate the installation process.

Step 5: You can add Validation Rules: Application / Bundle / File / Script. Swif will use the rules to verify if a custom package has been installed successfully on macOS.

When using the Application, Swif will use Path and Identifier to look for installation evidence.

When using a script, you can give the Install and Uninstall check script

1. Install check script example:
   #!/bin/sh  version=\"$(python -c 'import argparse;print argparse.__version__' 2&gt;/dev/null)\"  if [ ${version:-0} &lt; 1.2.1 ]; then      exit 0  else      exit 1  fi
2. Uninstall check script example:
   #!/bin/sh if [ -e "/Applications/OneDrive.app" ]; then    exit 0 else    exit 1 fi
