macOS management with Intune - PKG apps (Chrome)

Back to main macOS page

PKG files are compressed installer files that are used to install macOS applications. Intune can deploy these apps to managed macOS devices where the file is smaller than 2GB. The Microsoft Intune management agent for macOS is also required.

The PKG file for Google Chrome can be downloaded from here

Select Apps > macOS apps > Add. Under the Other app types, select macOS app (PKG)

Browse to the PKG file.

Click OK.

Edit app details as required and click Next.

You can add pre- and post-install scripts if required. Click Next.

Select a minimum operating system version. Click Next.

For the detection method, the app bundle ID and app version are configured automatically (unlike DMG files). Click Next.

Assign to a group containing macOS devices. Click Next.

Review your configuration and click Create.

Chrome very quickly appears on the macOS device.

The app reports as being installed in Intune.
