Feature description
I would suggest to make the option for preventing macOS client updates configurable with Configuration Profiles:
There is a way to prevent the macOS desktop client from auto-updating or showing the update dialog, but it involves writing configuration to the nextcloud.cfg inside the user profile. Although it's generally possible, it introduces a lot of problems - e.g. EPM agent is defective and cannot run scripts, user profile not existing when installing the client, multi-user systems, etc. - just to name a few.
It would be much more clean to introduce the possibility to manage this setting with a Configuration Profile (or a defaults write command). Then it could just be deployed using an MDM and it applies for all users on the machine the same. No scripting and hacking user profiles required.
