Self-service: Install Apple App Store apps on macOS

[noahtalerman]

Goal

User story
As an IT admin on the Software page,
I want to add an Apple App Store app and make it available for my end users to install via Fleet Desktop
so that I can give end users (without an Apple ID) an easy way to install App Store apps that my organization ordered for them in Apple Business Manager.

Context

• Increase product maturity and fulfill customer promises

Changes

Product

Manual testing steps

Note: the majority of the testing will be covered in ticket #18867

1. In Fleet, add a VPP app to a team and ensure Self Service box is checked
2. Verify the app shows up in Fleet Desktop on the assigned host device
3. Verify app installs on host and behaves accordingly with all other Self Service expectations
4. check that license counts are reflected accordingly after installs

Hey @marko-lisica, I filed this separate "Self-service: Install Apple App Store apps on macOS" story here.

I think let's bring this through "Settled" and estimation separately from the "Install Apple App Store apps on macOS" story (#18867)

Hey @georgekarrv and @marko-lisica heads up, I pulled this story and the subtasks off the drafting board because it didn't make it into the engineering sprint.

I moved the story to feature fest so we can weigh it at the next feature fest.

[lukeheath]

@georgekarrv Should this story be in ready for release? It looks like all of the sub-tasks are.

[georgekarrv]

Switched it to Awaiting QA 👍

[lukeheath]

@georgekarrv Thanks! Also I see some outstanding TODOs in the engineering checklist that need to be revised.

• REST API changes: API design: Self-service: Install Apple App Store apps on macOS #19687
• Permissions changes: Maintainers and admins (team and global) can add self-service software. GitOps user can add self-service software via Fleet YAML. (Team roles can add software to teams they are assigned to.)

Hey @marko-lisica, can you please take this user story the rest of the way! It looks like there are two lingering checkboxes before we close it.

@zayhanlon and @Patagonia121 heads up that this customer request was shipped in Fleet 4.56. Leaving it open b/c updating the reference docs is still TODO.

Hey @noahtalerman I just resolved conflicts and created a new PR for API changes: #22102.

I'm not sure why "Permissions changes" is still unchecked. I assume this is implemented?

[noahtalerman]

@marko-lisica thanks!

Do we need to update the permissions guide for this feature? Or, do we already have a line in the permissions table for adding software.

If we already have a line, can you please update the issue description to point to it? Thanks :)

I assigned you to the issue.

@noahtalerman We already have "Add and delete software" row in permissions guide. I've just updated issue description.

Still need a confirmation on API design PR.
