iOS 13.5 Webfilter does not work

Hi Apple.


My App is using FilterDataProvider and FilterControl Provider to filter web sites.


My App webfilter working before upgrading IOS 13.5.


The problem on IOS 13.5 is I do not get this callback in both extensions.

override func handleNewFlow(_ flow: NEFilterFlow, completionHandler: @escaping (NEFilterControlVerdict) -> Void)


handleNewFlow callback works fine on IOS 13.4, but not any more after upgrading IOS 13.5.


I confirmed these procedures are still working on 13.5. no error.


1. NEFilterManager is enabled

2. NEFilterManager called loadpreference before savepreference.

3. NEFilterManager successfully savedpreference.


I checked all NEFilter document, but no new update or known issue reported in XCode 11.5 Document.


Is this a IOS 13.5 bug ?

We also noticed that the filter configurations.socket new flow still comes to the extension


but browser new flow does not get the call back ( HandleNewFlow ).


We need filterBrowsers for wef filtering.





let newConfiguration = NEFilterProviderConfiguration()

newConfiguration.username = ""

newConfiguration.organization = "FortiClient"

newConfiguration.filterBrowsers = true <-- this does not work after upgrading IOS 13.5

newConfiguration.filterSockets = false <-- tested and this still works after upgrading IOS 13.5

newConfiguration.serverAddress = "(our server)"

NEFilterManager.shared().providerConfiguration = newConfiguration

Hello,

Any updates on this? I am experiencing the same issue. It was tested on 13.2.3 and 9.3.5 and web filtering works but not on the 13.5.1

I can confirm that this issue is resolved in 13.6 beta and it's working as expected.

iOS 13.6 was released a few weeks back (15 Jul).
