I've seen a couple of other posts similar to this, but none that applied to the situation here.
First: MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave, running in a VM with VMWare Fusion 11.1.0
What happens:
I try to load my extension (even on the command-line), and get the expected "System Extension Blocked" message, with directions to go to the Security & Privacy System Preferences -> General to allow loading from this developer. When I go to Security & Privacy, there is no "Allow" button.
One other thing that might be worth mentioning: When I start a VM with a clean install, and load the extension from the command-line, there is an "Allow" button in the Security & Privacy pane. But, if I try to load it again, I get the "System Extension Blocked" (again), but this time no "Allow" button in the Security & Privacy pane.
I get the same behavior when running my application that loads the same kernel extension programmatically.
The only message in system.log that looks even vaguely relevant is:
Sep 19 16:12:47 Erics-Mac com.apple.preference.security.remoteservice[831]: objc[831]: Class AWDSecurityPrefAutoUnlockSetup is implemented in both /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Security.prefPane/Contents/XPCServices/com.apple.preference.security.remoteservice.xpc/Contents/MacOS/com.apple.preference.security.remoteservice (0x100b7f8e0) and /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Security.prefPane/Contents/MacOS/Security (0x102cd8330). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
So, quick summary: When loading my kext, the first time I get the "System Extension Blocked" dialog, I do see the "Allow" button in the Security & Privacy dialog. But, in every following attempt to load, I still get the "System Extension Blocked" dialog, but no "Allow" button.
Can someone shed some light on this...?
Thanks!
