Fix Rocket Typist and HoudahSpot macOS FMA bundle IDs by allenhouchins · Pull Request #56904 · fleetdm/fleet

allenhouchins · 2026-10-29T14:09:39Z

Related issue: Follow-up to #56900 and #56433. CodeRabbit flagged the corrected zap paths on those bot PRs as regressions. Both threads were declined because the input identifier is the real bug, and this PR fixes it.

The unique_identifier in both inputs came from Homebrew zap stanzas that guessed the bundle ID from the major version (Rocket-Typist-#{version.major}, HoudahSpot6). The real IDs are different, so the exists, patched, and open queries, plus the quit/relaunch helpers in the install and uninstall scripts, never matched a real install.

App	Was	Now
Rocket Typist	`com.witt-software.Rocket-Typist-3`	`com.witt-software.Rocket-Typist-2`
HoudahSpot	`com.houdah.HoudahSpot6`	`com.houdah.HoudahSpot4`

Evidence

Rocket Typist 3.4.2: the cask's DMG (Rocket Typist.dmg, sha256 07544827b7b1b63f49a1661f48a73abaa92e2173cbbd2e1d74167f7f626c5b73) has CFBundleIdentifier com.witt-software.Rocket-Typist-2, and codesign -dv reports the same identifier (team GH2Y99U35Z). This matches the AutoPkg recipe (autopkg/homebysix-recipes RocketTypist/RocketTypist.download.recipe pins identifier "com.witt-software.Rocket-Typist-2"), IntuneBrew's entry for 3.4.2, and various: update zap stanza paths from CI Homebrew/homebrew-cask#298106, which replaced the zap paths with the -2 paths its CI saw on disk.
HoudahSpot 6.8.5: the 6.8.5 DMG's Info.plists show com.houdah.HoudahSpot4, and the extensions are com.houdah.HoudahSpot4.FinderExtension / .HoudahSpotQuickAction. Homebrew fixed its zap stanza in Homebrew/homebrew-cask@d27087407c.

The darwin validator passed with the wrong IDs only because appExists in cmd/maintained-apps/validate/darwin.go also matches by app name (... OR LOWER(<name>) LIKE LOWER('%<appName>%')), so a passing validator doesn't prove the identifier is right.

Changes

Inputs: unique_identifier fixed in rocket-typist.json and houdahspot.json.
Outputs, regenerated with go run ./cmd/maintained-apps -slug <slug>/darwin. Version, URL, and sha256 are unchanged for both apps. The only differences are the identifier in the three queries and in the install script's quit_and_track_application / relaunch_application and the uninstall script's quit_application calls, plus the recomputed script refs.
- The corrected zap paths for both apps are already on main: HoudahSpot's from Update Fleet-maintained apps #56433, and Rocket Typist's (-2 paths plus the Share-Text-With-Rocket-Typist extension) from Update Fleet-maintained apps #56900. Merging main in after Update Fleet-maintained apps #56900 landed hit a conflict in rocket-typist/darwin.json. I kept this branch's side, which matches main's scripts exactly once -3 is swapped for -2, and a fresh regen reproduces it byte for byte.
apps.json: unique_identifier updated for both entries by hand. The generator only adds new slugs to apps.json and doesn't refresh existing ones, and server/mdm/maintainedapps/sync.go reads this field into fleet_maintained_apps. Same approach as Update Mellel macOS FMA to 6.8.0 (com.redlex.mellel.mac bundle ID) #55866.

Not included: legacy-ID handling. No migration code was added for the old IDs. They never matched a real install, so no host's inventory reported them. I haven't checked whether any customer has added either FMA. If someone has, a reviewer should decide whether anything beyond the regenerated queries is needed. I'm flagging it here rather than building migration code for it.

Testing

QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
Mounted the Rocket Typist 3.4.2 DMG and read Info.plist + codesign -dv (results above).
go test ./ee/maintained-apps/... ./cmd/maintained-apps/... passes.
Compared old vs new outputs after parsing them: every query equals the old one with only the ID swapped, and the script diffs are only the lines listed above.

AI

AI: Claude Code (claude-opus-5-5)

Both inputs took their unique_identifier from Homebrew zap stanzas that guessed the bundle ID from the major version. The real IDs are com.witt-software.Rocket-Typist-2 and com.houdah.HoudahSpot4, so the exists, patched, and open queries and the quit helpers never matched a real install.

Repair stale software title references after bundle ID changes · New

What changed in this PR

Corrects the macOS bundle IDs for Rocket Typist and HoudahSpot in Fleet-maintained apps, aligning detection and application lifecycle scripts with the installed apps.

Changes:

Updates both input definitions and catalog entries with the correct identifiers.
Regenerates detection queries and quit/relaunch script references without changing versions, download URLs, or checksums.
Preserves the uninstall cleanup paths corrected in #56900 and #56433.

File	Description
`ee/maintained-apps/outputs/rocket-typist/darwin.json`	Updates Rocket Typist queries, script calls, and references.
`ee/maintained-apps/outputs/houdahspot/darwin.json`	Updates HoudahSpot queries, script calls, and references.
`ee/maintained-apps/outputs/apps.json`	Corrects both catalog identifiers.
`ee/maintained-apps/inputs/homebrew/rocket-typist.json`	Sets Rocket Typist’s identifier to the `-2` bundle ID.
`ee/maintained-apps/inputs/homebrew/houdahspot.json`	Sets HoudahSpot’s identifier to `com.houdah.HoudahSpot4`.
