Enable Nudge app in the Apple Software Update Policy

Here are the key features of the Nudge app in the Software Update Policy:

  • Purpose: Integrates the Nudge app into the Mac Software Update Policy to notify users about important security OS updates.

  • How it works:

    • Deploys a LaunchAgent service at /Library/LaunchAgents/com.xxx.updateupgrade.plist that runs the Nudge app.

    • The Nudge app checks for update requirements using a remote JSON configuration (e.g., https://eam-nudge.s3.amazonaws.com/default.json).

    • Notifications are shown to users when updates are required, with customizable messaging (e.g., setting the "subHeader" to "Swif").

  • Policy Integration:

    • Apple Software Update Policy includes options like enabling/disabling Nudge, setting update schedules, and other macOS update behaviors.

    • Policy fields:

      • installNudgeApp: enabling/disabling Nudge
