Description
With App Auto Patch 3.6.0, I've added a new report plist that can be used with SupportCompanion.
See the following for more details per your original request: https://github.com/App-Auto-Patch/App-Auto-Patch/issues/194
The file will be located at the following path: `/Library/Management/AppAutoPatch/xyz.techitout.appAutoPatchReport.plist`
Below is a sample of the plist. Please let me know if any changes to the output are needed so I can implement that into App Auto-Patch
```

Research direction
Start by locating SupportCompanion's existing report or plist integrations, then compare their handling with /Library/Management/AppAutoPatch/xyz.techitout.appAutoPatchReport.plist and the sample structure in this issue. Confirm how ItemsToInstall and LastUpdated should be represented in the app, and verify that the new report is read successfully with representative plist data.
