We got development entitlement for our Driver that we requested here: https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/system-extension/
Next we tested our Driver on test devices and now want to upload build into TestFlight.
But it looks like we need distribution version of same entitlements.
Where we can request them?
BTW, Apple Docs: Requesting Entitlements for DriverKit Development describe only development approach. It would be good to add instructions for Distribution as well.

You are correct that the docs need improving here. Once you’re done, I’d appreciate you filing a bug against any docs that you found misleading.
This year we changed policy with regards DriverKit entitlements. It’s now possible for you to develop DriverKit drivers without any specific approval from Apple. Once you’re done, you can request the distribution capabilities using the form you referenced. To quote System Extensions and DriverKit:
If you plan to deploy drivers built with DriverKit … you’ll need to request an entitlement from Apple.

OK. We will send another request for distribution.
BTW, how we can track progress of our request rather than check email?

Thanks.

Currently that work is done entirely over email. There’s no web page that displays the request’s status.
any way to expedite this request?
I don’t have any suggestions on that front.

@eskimo, how long does it usually take to review entitlements request? We sent it 2 weeks ago but unfortunately didn't get any reply.
Is any way to contact to review person/team and check request status?

I don’t have a good handle on that. I have some visibility into the review process but I’m not directly involved in this. I’m hoping that other folks will follow-up here with their experience.

I answered that in my previous post, no?
