Hi, I have a NEPacketTunnelProvider running.
When uninstalling the app, I've noticed that the class calls stopTunnel with reason: providerDisabled.
However when I want to cleanly finish up the stop the method gets cancelled before it finishes an asynchronous task. (takes maybe half a second)
Any technique how I can ensure that the work still gets done before this happens?
What do you mean by “the method gets cancelled”?

@eskimo, Here is a pseudo code scenario, with logging when the extension gets called stopTunnel with a reason being .providerDisabled.
I have a OSLog instance to check how far it will execute the method. It will only print "stopTunnel because" and the "starting clean-up") and then gets exited due to uninstall I guess.
override func stopTunnel(with reason: NEProviderStopReason) async {
logger.log("Stop tunnel because: \(reason, privacy: .public)")
if case .providerDisabled = reason {
logger.log("Starting clean-up")
let result = await doPseudoCodeCleanup()
switch result {
case .success:
logger.log("clean up done")
case .failure(let error):
logger.log("Clean up failed due to error: \(error.localizedDescription, privacy: .public)")
}
logger.log("providerDisabled cleanup, done.")
}
logger.log("Stop tunnel end")
}
Here is a pseudo code scenario
Thanks. That clarifies things.
What platform is this on?

I observe this on iPad OS 16 (last beta before RC) and iOS 16 (RC).
Same issue any updates?
