Disable automatic update on MacOs?

[FredGagne79]

Hi!

Mac in our company dont have admin rights so I'm looking for a way to disable the automatic update...

I've tried to push the following payload but without success:

com.github.githubapp

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>SUEnableAutomaticChecks</key>
    <false/>
    <key>SUAutomaticallyUpdate</key>
    <false/>
</dict>
</plist>

Has anyone find a way to disable automatic update?

Thanks

Thanks for raising this. We are tracking it as an issue and have a fix in progress that adds an in-app "Automatically check for updates" toggle in General settings, so you can disable background update checks without admin rights (manual "Check for updates" still works).
