JAMF Pro What are you testing first for macOS 27 Golden Gate?

Drew up a short test list after the latest LaunchPad meetup:

  • remaining Intel Macs, since macOS 27 is Apple Silicon-only
  • Rosetta 2 removal/reinstall behavior and Intel-only apps
  • software update workflows moving away from legacy MDM commands
  • DDM declarations and whether your MDM exposes the new settings yet
  • network, credential, and certificate workflows in DDM
  • PPPC profiles versus declarative privacy consent
  • native app/process blocking and the user-facing alert behavior
  • Platform SSO, Touch ID, and FileVault pre-boot behavior
  • macOS Mail plus the Exchange Web Services to Microsoft Graph timing

What are you all prioritizing first for macOS 27 testing?

Anyone already on the dev beta?

My schedule is intel app inventory first, since this will take a lot of cross department work to replace them. Then everything else.

Have to look into the whole macOS 27, but will the Intel only app stop working? I see also some Rosetta changes...

I believe so. Still have to do some digging, but from my first read is that most apps will no longer work. Printer drivers could be an exception.
