That's what I ended up using, in order to avoid repackaging the installer I built a payloadless deployment (dummy/empty .pkg, unsigned as it doesn't matter if it fails to run, followed by a post-install script that downloads the latest installer for each software to deploy, install them, then delete the temporary folder.
We had to freeze iOS 26 deployment because Apple fucked up something with the content filter that some enterprise softwares uses (ex: CrowdStrike) that when broken (seems random so far..) blocks all network traffic, requiring a factory reset, since the only way to disable the content filter is through the MDM.
PebbleOS was quite polished compared to the other RTOS out there.
The animations were smooth most of the time, and responsiveness was great, the concept of the timeline is genius. The Pebble team made sure that it was accomplishing its main purpose (always displaying time, and time related events) really well, and then built everything around that.
I hope this revival will be sustainable and bring back some of that brilliance.
Personally I don't mind if the purpose is increased privacy and that the processing is done locally.
Some great examples are the local translation engine and I believe they also added or are in the process to add a small engine that can describe images and provide caption on-demand, which is a great step towards accessibility.
At least they give the ability to be really specific about what you want to deploy using the Configuration XML file.
I wish they offered something similar on macOS.
