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.

do you have an ETA on the 13.6 release?

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