macOS15 enable system extensions failed

We have developed a system extension based on the Endpoint Security framework, but after upgrading to macOS 15 beta, the system extension fails to enable in Login Items & Extensions.

The specific prompt is shown in the image , and the system log indicates an XPC connection failure.

When we use the command to check the extension status, it is [activated waiting for user]. We have tried some other products that use system extensions, and they are also unable to load the system extension.

First off, if you haven't already, please file a bug on this and post the feedback number here. Particularly in the very first seed release, it's very likely that an issue like this is simply a bug, so I would give the seed process a bit of time before you worry to much about the issue.

On the investigation side, it's important to understand that an XPC failure like this is almost always a symptom/end of problem, NOT the actual "problem". Tracing this sort of thing through the log is often challenging but if you wanted to understand this failure better, you'd need to trace back in time from that failure point to try and find where the failure originated. Basically, who was it trying to connect to and why did the "other" side of that connection fail it?
