TeamViewer Host Assignment Fails in Jamf Pro on macOS with Error 206

Issue

When deployed from Jamf Pro TeamViewer_Assignment fails to associate using the -api-token parameter with the error 206 on macOS.

If the command is run from a terminal prompt it successfully assigns the computer.

Resolution

All of the TeamViewer processes must be fully running, before an assignment will be successful.

$ ps aux | grep -i TeamView | grep -v grep
user              6881   0.0  0.3  4432632  47748   ??  S     3:06pm   0:00.47 /Applications/TeamViewerHost.app/Contents/MacOS/TeamViewerHost -RunAsAgent YES

Use the following script in Jamf Pro to ensure all processes are fully running:
#!/bin/bash
APITOKEN=1234567-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
GROUPID=g123456789
while true; do
	process=$(ps aux | grep TeamViewerHost | grep -v grep | wc -l)
        echo "Process: $process"
	if [ $process -gt 2 ]; then
		echo "Assigning..."
		sleep 15
                /Applications/TeamViewerHost.app/Contents/Helpers/TeamViewer_Assignment -api-token $APITOKEN -group-id $GROUPID -alias "$(hostname -s)" -grant-easy-access -reassign
		exit $?
	else
		echo "Waiting for TeamViewer to start..."
		sleep 15
	fi
done
