Is this kind of setup supported in macOS?

Code Block 	<key>NEProviderClasses</key>
	<dict>
		<key>com.apple.networkextension.dns-proxy</key>
		<string>DNSProxyProvider</string>
		<key>com.apple.networkextension.app-proxy</key>
		<string>TrProxyProvider</string>
	</dict>

I'd like to have one extension that handles both providers - NEDNSProxy and NETransparentProxy, but request to activate it always fails

Extension is in the app bundle.

I would recommend that you create one provider extension for each extension. This will clearly define the logic in each extension and will make it easier down the road to debug issues.
