On macOS Network Extension Deactivation

This thread has been locked by a moderator; it no longer accepts new replies.

Hello,

I’m developing a macOS application signed with a Developer ID (outside the App Store) that includes a Network Extension. The app has been successfully notarized, and the network filter is registered, but the Network Extension itself remains inactive — it does not install or run properly.

It seems that the issue might be related to the entitlements configuration between the container app and the Network Extension target.

Could you please provide a detailed checklist for:

The required entitlements and configurations for the container app, and

The required entitlements and configurations for the Network Extension target?

Additionally, are there any specific Xcode settings that are mandatory for the Network Extension to be properly installed and activated on macOS when distributed via Developer ID?

Thank you in advance for your help.
