Which Terminal command to permanently hide updates in Apps store?

[katbel]

Was I supposed to just copy and past all of the code into the terminal and then export the text with the ".mobileconfig" extension? Yes I'm trying to ignore app updates from the app store but I'm not able to. I have a 2010 macbook air with Catalina on it an I don't want to update iMovie since the latest version is not compatible. Any ideas and thanks a ton!

bogdanw was suggesting: Profiles can be created/modified using Apple Configurator 2 or ProfileCreator

I found that works perfectly even in a text editor , then do info command -i on the text file you just saved and change the extension with ".mobileconfig"
Voila': double click it and it will go automatically where it should, in Profiles.
Not sure if it still works in Catalina, for me it works in Mojave but with others tricks, like changing SoftwareUpdate framework as suggested here #18,450 and #18,671 .
Good luck!

Hello,

/System/Library/LaunchAgents contains storeagent.plist agent. The plist has an entry named LaunchEvents containing the entry com.apple.xpc.services which is a dictionary that contains other sub-dictionaries. These sub-dictionaries belong to properties that contain update.default and, most interestingly, update.forced parts in their names enclosed in KEY tags. They contain the property named Repeating whose value is a boolean and it's set to true by default.

Will a command such as

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.storeagent.plist  \ '
<dict>
<key>LaunchEvents</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.xpc.activity</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.storeagent.uptodate.default</key>
<dict>
<key>Repeating</key>
<false/>
</dict>
<key>com.apple.storeagent.uptodate.forced</key>
<dict>
<key>Repeating</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>'

do the job, I wonder?

Cannot try it because I did this @ #26 and it's working.
Have you tried it?

I simply copied the contents of .mobileconfig file posted earlier in this thread and saved it in Xcode with this extension but it didn't work for me. I'm looking for a fundamental solution.
