Step 4 -macOS- Onboard and verify your test device

Complete these checks after the SCA PKG and preference profile are assigned to the test Mac. Record the tested application version, profile revision, device, and test account in your pilot results.

Install and Start SCA

1

Synchronize the device

• Use Company Portal on the Mac to synchronize with Intune.

2

Verify installation and configuration status

• In Intune, open the SCA application and review its device installation status.

3

Verify the installed application

• Confirm that the application exists at /Applications/SecureContacts.app.

Open Terminal and inspect its bundle identity:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print:CFBundleIdentifier' /Applications/SecureContacts.app/Contents/Info.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print:CFBundleShortVersionString' /Applications/SecureContacts.app/Contents/Info.plist

The first command must return de.provectus.SecureContactsDesktop. The second must match the approved package version and the Intune Included apps version.

If the app exists but Intune reports failed detection, compare these values before changing the app package or ignoring its version.

4

Verify the effective managed preferences

• Read the device-level configuration:

defaults read "/Library/Managed Preferences/de.provectus.SecureContactsDesktop.plist"

• Check the presence of SecContacts.Licenses and the values you populated. Empty optional keys are expected when left unused.

5

Start Secure Contacts App

• Launch Secure Contacts from Applications.

• Confirm the app opens without an installer or Gatekeeper error.

6

Sign in

• Sign in with the intended test user. Complete the authentication requirements imposed by your organization.

7

Synchronize contact sources

• Allow SCA to load the enabled sources.

Verify SCA

1

Search for contacts

• Search for a known contact from every contact source enabled for the test user.

2

Verify contact information

• Open the contact and verify the expected contact information.

3

Test enabled functions

Test the functions enabled for your deployment, for example:

• Email

• Phone or the configured default dialer

• Microsoft Teams chat, call, or video call

• Microsoft Teams status

• Incoming call detection, if enabled and activated

4

Enjoy the app

SCA is now activated, configured, and verified on your Windows test device. Expand the application and configuration profile assignments only after the pilot results are accepted.

Settings ending in _InitValue are set when SCA starts for the first time. When validating a changed initial value, follow the test procedure in SCA Configuration - SecContacts.Defaults.

The available functions depend on the assigned license, configured values, accessible contact sources, and applications installed on the Windows device. See Quick Facts (Desktop) for the documented desktop feature set.
