This repository is a fork of ProfileManifests, optimized for use with iMazing Profile Editor. The app, of course, fully supports using the upstream repository, but it points to this one by default as it allows for quicker updates and also for stylistic or app-specific adjustments.
The fork is continuously synced with upstream updates, and work done here is submitted back to the upstream when relevant to the whole Mac Admins community.
This repository is meant to provide administrators with a central, common collection which makes it possible to easily configure and manage any available settings in Apple products and supporting third-party software. By contributing to this repo, you are helping make the lives of all members of the Mac Admin community easier and lowering the barrier to entry for those who are new to managing Apple devices in the process.
Before contributing, please review the Getting Started and Contributing to an existing manifest wiki pages.
All changes and improvements made here are also immediately converted into Jamf's JSON Schema in the ProfileManifestsMirror repository for use with Jamf. This provides an intuitive interface for managing payloads and preferences not natively supported in Jamf.
A debt of gratitude is owed to Elliot Jordan for his efforts in extending the functionality of this project!
The payload manifest files are using Apple's Preference Manifest File format to describe the payloads and their keys.

To meet all required functionality that format has been extended with more keys and options. Use the following reference to create manifests.
