Microsoft Intune - Best way to manage Apps on macOS

For some time now, Microsoft has allowed the deployment of .pkg and .dmg applications via Intune as available apps for non-admin users. However, this introduces a limitation: Intune does not natively support uninstallation for these types of apps.

A possible workaround is to create a second package containing an empty .pkg with a pre-install script that performs the uninstallation.

Unfortunately, this approach creates two separate entries for each app in the Company Portal, and the uninstallation package often fails because Intune requires only a specific bundle ID for detection.

Given this scenario, I’d like to ask:

what is the best practice for managing applications through Intune Company Portal on macOS? And do you recommend any third-party tools that can help streamline deployment and uninstallation?
