Support Tip: Install Rosetta 2 on new Apple Silicon (M1) Macs to run apps built for Intel Macs
Dear Intune_Support_Team ,
your post unfortunately describes the chicken-and-egg situation at it's best.
The problem on ADE enrolled devices is the worst one for those who rely on it (as I do).
As you mentioned, not even scripts are executed because the Intune MDM Agent is still as intel binary only available (may I ask why?).
So, what I'm currently trying to do is to develop an App which does just call a script which executes your already mentioned
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
command.
I created an app few weeks ago, signed it (with an apple developer id) and also notarized it to make it compliant with gatekeeper. In a test locally it worked as expected: But on a freshly enrolled device it does not get installed due to some weird certificate resolving issues. I have to dig deeper into it.
Is there any release plan for the Intune MDM Agent as an universal binary at least? This would make administrator life with the new M1 so much easier.
