Suppressing check for updates

[faisalyali]

Hi Team,

One of the issues we’ve identified with the Cisco Proximity app is the way that it checks for updates and nags the user to install—we would like a way to suppress these update checks so that we can deploy updates silently as needed. we have found that the .msi installer for the Windows app has been updated to allow suppression of auto-updates; has this ability also been added to the Mac app? is  there’s a way to do this?

For reference: https://supportforums.cisco.com/t5/mobile-applications-documents/windows-mass-deployment-guide-new-as-of-version-2-0-8/ta-p/3314009

There is a settings plist file under Library/Preferences where you can set the disableAutoUpgrade key. When deploying the app, use PlistBuddy to add the setting if the file exists, or deploy a plist file with only that setting if there isn't one.

Perfect, thanks a lot

Thanks for your response, I found the plist file and the content is below, there is no setting for Autoupgrade, can you please modify it in your reply to suppress the auto upgrade? 

Thanks
