On Sonoma 14.5, after upgrading CMIO CameraExtension, daemon is not running

I made CameraExtension and installed by OSSystemExtensionRequest. I got success callback. I did uninstall old version of my CameraExtension and install new version of my CameraExtension.

"systemextensionsctl list" command shows "[activated enabled]" on my new version.

But no daemon process with my CameraExtension is not running. I need to reboot OS to start the daemon process. This issue is new at macOS Sonoma 14.5. I did not see this issue on 14.4.x

If you’re hitting this problem on a modern version of macOS — so anything in the macOS 26 series — you should definitely file a bug about it. If you can reproduce the problem, make sure to attach a sysdiagnose log taken shortly after reproducing it. And please post your bug number, just for the record.

Speaking of reproducibility, how reproducible is this for you? Are you about to reliably reproduce it on a ‘clean’ machine? Or are you seeing it on a your main work Mac? Or are you trying to debug this based on reports coming in from users?

I'm also running into this same behaviour on Tahoe 26.3.1. Did you ever find a workaround?
