Network Extension update problem
Hi, I noticed when updating a NetworkExtension that exposes a mach service, the new extension cannot accept XPC connections until reboot. Note: the extension has a different bundle version, it updates just fine, but it has no ability to receive XPC connections. Also, I noticed that only for network extensions, its corresponding service name has the version appended to its name. For example running launchctl print system | grep MyNetworkExtension Returns NetworkExtension.com.company.MyNetworkExtension.x.y.z Where x.y.z is the updated version, which is fine. Also running systemextensionsctl list Returns the updated version of the network extension. So the question is, how can I connect through XPC to the updated version? If I reboot the machine the connection can be made, otherwise it does't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
