Is it possible to deactivate the NE without user consent

Question

HI,
I am using Content Filter simple firewall Network Extension (NE). I have couple of doubts about NE deactivation. Please clarify.

Is it possible to deactivate the NE without user consent?
If not possible without user consent, why we need to authorise even for deactivate? Is it restricted by Apple?

Please clarify.

Answer 4

Can you clarify what you mean by “deactivate”? Is the goal to simply stop the filter? Or are you trying to uninstall the system extension?

Answer 5

uninstall system extension.

The behaviour is like systemextensionsctl uninstall <teamId> <bundleId> I am trying as below in my code to uninstall/deactivate the system extension.

Code Block let deactivationRequest = OSSystemExtensionRequest.deactivationRequest(forExtensionWithIdentifier: extensionIdentifier, queue: .main)
OSSystemExtensionManager.shared.submitRequest(deactivationRequest)
