I am developing EndpointSecurity on macOS 11.0 Beta 6.

What I want to do is, when EndpointSecurity is installed and running, replace it with a new version of EndpointSecurity.

Implemented in my EndpointSecurity bundle app
OSSystemExtensionReplacementActionReplace is returned inside Request:actionForReplacingExtension:withExtension: method.

I checked through NSLog that the Request:actionForReplacingExtension:withExtension: method is called normally.

However, if you check the console.app at this time, sysextd crashes.
And I checked with the systemextensionsctl list command.

A crash in sysextd did not replace the new version of EndpointSecurity.

I need your help.
