Hello, I am writing a NetworkExtension VPN using custom protocol and our client would like to able to use 5G network slice on the VPN, is this possible at all? From Apple's documentation, I found the following statement: If both network slicing and VPN are configured for an app or device, the VPN connection takes precedence over the network slice, rendering the network slice unused. Is it possible to assign a network slice on a NetworkExtension-based VPN and let the VPN traffic uses the assign network slice? Many thanks

I am developing a VoIP application that uses NetworkExtension (Local PUSH function) And VoIP(APNs) PUSH. Since iPhone X, iPhones have supported eSIM, allowing for the simultaneous use of a physical SIM and an eSIM. Consequently, users of our VoIP app have requested the ability to lock the network used by the VoIP app to either the eSIM or the physical SIM. Our VoIP app utilizes the network through the socket API. Is there an API in the iOS SDK to lock the network used via sockets to either the eSIM or the physical SIM? In other words, we would like to be able to retrieve the IP address assigned to the eSIM or the physical SIM in advance, and know which IP address is assigned to which SIM. Are there any such APIs available (that are not "Deprecated")
