BigSur upgrade is falling in the presence of Network extension

Hi

Does osinstallersetupd (OS update process) not work in the presence of App Proxy? Is it a known issue?

I have NETransparentProxyProvider App Proxy Network extension. It captures all the 80/443 port traffic but bypasses flows "osinstallersetupd" flow. "osinstallersetupd" is responsible to download installer (If my understanding is correct).

The above log shows:

My app proxy bypasses the flow:

default 23:26:38.757858-0700 com.myapp.AppClientMacAppProxy [Extension com.myapp.AppClientMacAppProxy]: provider rejected new flow TCP com.apple.installer.osinstallersetupd[{length = 20, bytes = 0x7a8ea62f5a0144dd918e822a56207859cd5a0159}] remote: 17.137.162.1:80 interface en0

Eventually, "osinstallersetupd" connection gets closed too.

If you are letting the system handle the flow by return false here with the flow for com.apple.installer.osinstallersetupd then I would open a bug report here. Please respond back with the Feedback ID. If that is not what you are doing, please let me know also.

Thanks, DTS!

Yes, handleNewFlow method retutns false for "osinstallersetupd" process.
