@allenhouchins this is fantastic! can you convert this to draft? we're not quite ready (and don't have the test automation) to push this through. i think best path forward is to create a FR and attach this to it, to make sure we get in the frontend work to add the icons and run end-to-end tests.

@mostlikelee Converted to Draft! I've been chatting with @iansltx on this one. I should be adding another 15 or so titles over the next couple of days to get us closer to parity with Jamf, Kandji, and Automox with the limitation of only using brew casks.

@allenhouchins I just added the FMA outputs here. When you get a chance, add descriptions to the apps.json file, and as you have time please confirm whether the install/uninstall scripts that we auto-generated are handling each package correctly. Feel free to throw a checklist in another comment.

@iansltx Does this go in the inputs or outputs file? I didn't see a reference to description in the README.

The uninstall script for Asana leaves a broken menubar app still active that has to be manually quit.

[iansltx]

So, probably best to pull Asana from the list until we can handle that uninstall properly, and file a ticket for adding that app.

[allenhouchins]

• Removed Asana due to the uninstall script not closing out the menubar app.
• Removed BBEdit since it's available in the App Store.

[allenhouchins]

The uninstaller script for Citrix Workspace does not include any commands to delete /Applications/Citrix Workspace.app. Removing app from list.

@iansltx or @jahzielv what's the process you use or what is the process you expect contributors to use to test out the Install scripts that are generated. I have otherwise tested out the uninstall scripts and updated the apps.json file.

@allenhouchins You can start Fleet server with FLEET_DEV_MAINTAINED_APPS_BASE_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fleetdm/fleet/refs/heads/allenhouchins-new-fmas/ee/maintained-apps/outputs to point at this branch. Then run the maintained_apps cron to pull the revised apps list (so apps are available). At that point you should be able to add the app and attempt install with the associated script. If that works, we're good.

Yes, the above instructions should be in the FMA readme. FMA guide updates are on me so that'll be part of that work.
