If you ever need to check what php version do composer packages and their dependencies require, there's a special command just for that.

composer check-platform-reqs

The output should look something like below. Maybe without the failed steps.

ext-dom        20031129                                                success

This is useful when your app fails due to unfulfilled dependency requirements.

The simplest approach if you're not using a specilized IDE is to use the command line and sdkmanager as follows:

sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-29"

Non-removable MDM profiles cannot officially removed without doing a full system wipe. This is a problem when you restore a system from Time Machine after you enrolled it into the MDM, as the MDM will break, leaving you unable to re-enroll the machine.

Here's how to remove a non-removable MDM profile

1. Boot the Mac into Recovery Mode (hold down command+R during startup).
2. Go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal and type: csrutil disable. This will disable SIP (System Integrity Protection).
3. Reboot into the OS.
4. Open the integrated terminal and type:

cd /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles
rm -rf *
mkdir Settings
touch Settings/.profilesAreInstalled

5. Reboot.
6. Boot the Mac into Recovery Mode (hold down command+R during startup).
7. Go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal and type: csrutil enable. This will re-enable SIP.
8. Reboot into the OS.

The profile will be now removed and you will be able to re-enroll the Mac to your MDM.

Restoring from a Time Machine backup can create duplicate MDM VPN profiles.

To manually remove a profile on your macOS, follow these steps:

• Go to System Preferences and select Profiles.
• Delete the VPN profile, and enter the user password if requested.
• Then, go to Network Connections.
• If you see any connections which start with or include “VPN”, delete them.

Note

If the Button isn’t available,you have to use a terminal command to remove it. Open the integrated Terminal and type

networksetup -removenetworkservice "duplicateVPNProfile"

In order to deploy Nuxt as a static website you need to:

1. Upgrade nuxt to 2.14.0
2. Set target: 'static' in your nuxt.config.js
3. Set fallback 404 page:generate: { fallback: '404.html' }
4. Run nuxt generate

You then need to tell Nginx to properly handle slashes for subpages:

    location /.
    {
        # Remove trailing slash and redirect it
        rewrite ^(.+)/+$ $1 permanent;
        
        # Redirect index.html
        rewrite ^(.+)/index.html$ $1 permanent;
        
        # Serve folder path via index.html
        try_files $uri $uri/index.html =404;
        
        # Serve a custom static error page
        error_page 404 /404.html;
    }
