¹ Apple App Store auto-install (iOS / iPadOS / macOS) is managed by Primo (not natively by Fleet). After enabling, install requests are pushed on the next device sync cycle.² Windows .exe / .ps1 and Linux .deb / .rpm / .sh / .tar.gz require a custom detection osquery. Primo pre-fills a best-effort query from the software name; the admin must verify and edit it before saving. See How to find the right program name.
