Originally created by @macbofh on GitHub.

The current label of VMWare Horizon Client (vmwarehorizonclient) downloads version 8.0.0 instead of the latest 8.5.1 version. The vmware download urls and jsons are somewhat confusing but with the following changes i was able to download the most recent version.

downloadGroup=$(curl -fsL "https://my.vmware.com/channel/public/api/v1.0/products/getRelatedDLGList?locale=en_US&category=desktop_end_user_computing&product=vmware_horizon_clients&version=horizon_8&dlgType=PRODUCT_BINARY" | grep -o '[^"]*_MAC_[^"]*')

fileName=$(curl -fsL "https://my.vmware.com/channel/public/api/v1.0/dlg/details?locale=en_US&category=desktop_end_user_computing&product=vmware_horizon_clients&dlgType=PRODUCT_BINARY&downloadGroup=${downloadGroup}" | grep -o '"fileName":"[^"]*"' | cut -d: -f2 | sed 's/"//g')

downloadURL="https://download3.vmware.com/software/CART23FQ1_MAC_2203_1/${fileName}"

appNewVersion=$(curl -fsL "https://my.vmware.com/channel/public/api/v1.0/dlg/details?locale=en_US&downloadGroup=${downloadGroup}" | grep -o '[^"]*\.dmg[^"]*' | sed 's/.*-\(.*\)-.*/\1/')
