This one is a bit more confusing. Check to make sure that the process is not hung somehow by looking for the Network Extension name in the Activity Monitor.
I had rebooted and sure the process is not running in activity monitor . so it ws surprising.

Anything else you suggest need to be examined .
thank you matt .
if it is serialised, wouldn't there will be lot of impact on performance .
@tartempion :
Am facing the same issue . do you host The XPC service in an app . i have a .xpc as target (not a daemon application containing .xpc ) which is directly used in launchd . have published the MachServices properly . any pointers would really help .
With default Network Extension Target the NEMachServiceName is already added.
should we just connect from the app to this NEMachServiceName and then start exchanging message.
was just curious whether I create the listener in the app and connect (from client) from the Network Extension. is it a good idea ?
thank you eskimo .
it is a NetworkExtension .
howz the setting up different in NetworkExtension & EndpointSecurity ?
thnsk you eskimo for the answer .is "App Sandbox entitlement" required for Driverkit ?
thank you eskimo.
it is Content filter
