Hi, I am writing a "Network Extension" (NEPacketTunnelProvider) app for macos. I am using "Developer ID" signing for my Macos app. But it crashes after I start it on my mac. I have already gone through the notarization.

Hi, I am looking for a secure IPC between 2 apps in the same App group. Both the apps will be sandboxed. I am planning to have one "UI" app and a service App that serves the UI app. I want the communication between the apps to be secure. In this context secure means that even the user/Admin/root of the Mac cannot snoop the actual messages. I have looked at XPC as an option. But my understanding is that the messages are not encrypted and so the local user can snoop the messages using tools like XPoCe and XPCspy. Please correct me if I am wrong. http://newosxbook.com/tools/XPoCe2.html https://github.com/hot3eed/xpcspy Other option I was thinking was using socket/Rest/grpc using TCP ports and encrypt the messages. Encrypting requires certificates. So can I store private keys in keyChain or App-Group folder? This private cert stored in keychain should not be extractable by the Admin/root of the Mac as well. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, I am writing a Network Extension (NEPacketTunnelProvider) app for Macos. I am currently using "Mac Developer" Code signing Identity. When running the app, I am seeing the following error on my mac when the code tries to save (NETunnelProviderManager().saveToPreferences) the packet-tunnel config. Please help.

Hi, I am converting a working packet-tunnel Network Extension to distribute using Developer ID (system-extension). And I see that system-extension is getting registered but exiting. Please help. Thanks NOTE: SIP is disabled Static Tunnel configuration. I have gone through lot of similar questions on the forums but not able to figure out what is happening. Removed NEMachService from the Info.plist since it was forcing me to add "application-group" and this was not part of the provisioning profile. The following 2 messages in the logs seem suspicious (NetworkExtension) [com.apple.networkextension:] Signature check failed: code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s) ***.YYY.network-extension: (NetworkExtension) [com.apple.networkextension:] [Extension ***.YYY]: IPC detached NE Entitlements: <dict> <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>TEAM_ID.***.YYY.network-extension</string> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>packet-tunnel-provider-systemextension</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>TEAM_ID</string> <key>keychain-access-groups</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.*</string> </array> </dict> NE Provision profile: <key>Entitlements</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>packet-tunnel-provider-systemextension</string> <string>app-proxy-provider-systemextension</string> <string>content-filter-provider-systemextension</string> <string>dns-proxy-systemextension</string> <string>dns-settings</string> </array> <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>TEAM_ID.***.YYY.network-extension</string> <key>keychain-access-groups</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.*</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>TEAM_ID</string> </dict> Logs: Please see next post.

I am a newbie to SwiftUI. I have a button with some text. I want to change the text of that button when some external event happens. For example take the string typed in a Text Box and show that as text in the button. Please share a way to do this. Thanks
