Our application used the profile -I command to install a wireless configuration profiles for the user. Starting with macOS Big Sur, terminal commands can no longer be used to install configuration profiles. Along with this, there are no APIs available to do the same. I get that Apple wants the user to be in control of any Configuration Profile installations, but the system notification that doesn't actually take you to the 'Profiles' section on click along not being very descriptive seems like something that may cause confusion among users.
To make the installation process easier, we are triggering a file open of the .mobileconfig followed by opening System Preferences using terminal commands (open <path/to/mobileconfig and open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference") and then waiting for the user to navigate to profiles and approve the profile to be installed. Opening the Profiles section was possible on older versions, is there a way to do the same on Big Sur? Is there anything else we could do to make the profile installation process a little more intuitive for the user?
