Hi Team,

We are registering Network Extension on application launch. The application shows this dialog [Dialog attached].

The failing case

User press OK and hence, dismissing the user approval
User click on Apps UI -> Register
Register call the same API again i.e.

let activationRequest = OSSystemExtensionRequest.activationRequest(forExtensionWithIdentifier: identifier, queue: .main) 4. This time, the dialog is not launched for the user. Whereas, we have observed, it does launch the dialog again on some of the machines. 5. User reboot the machine 6. Click App -> Register. Stil the same case, the dialog is not launched for user.

When I check the status using systemextensionsctl list * [TeamId] com.company.extensionname (1.0.100/1.0.100) ExtensioName [activated waiting for user]

How can I force the launch of this dialog in API, so that, user can be guided to act upon it.

First you'll want to make sure you're debugging your contain app correctly as this dialog is tied to the container app. So I will recommend that you take a look at Quinn's Debugging a Network Extension Provider post.
