Monterey:Network System Extension OSSystemExtensionRequest.deactivationRequest fails with authorizationRequired = 13

Hello,

On Mac OS monterey, OSSystemExtensionRequest.deactivationRequest is failing with deactivation request for com.xxxxxx.networkextensionapp.netextension failed authorization check, error: Error Domain=OSSystemExtensionErrorDomain Code=13 "(null)"

Even after providing the correct credentials for authorisation when prompted for.

We see the same and if you run sudo systemextensionsctl list the result is a bit worrying:

2021-07-21 17:38:11.454 systemextensionsctl[1563:23928] unexpectedly trying to fetch info on a non-staged bundle?

Are you calling this from a GUI app in response to a user action?

A bunch of folks try to use the System Extensions framework from a non-app context and that’s not a supported model. See this post for context.

If you are using System Extensions framework correctly then this error is definitely bugworthy. Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Share and Enjoy
