Is there a way to test my VPN client application without Network Extension entitlement?

Hello,


Im trying to run a VPN client application example which uses a custom VPN protocol. (https://libraries.io/github/udo-tech-team/NEPacketTunnelVPNDemo) I requested Network Extension entitlement from apple for my application. But while waiting, i need to develop my application and first, i need see what Im doing. I created provision profile without Network Extension entitlement (naturally) and application has errors "Error Domain=NEConfigurationErrorDomain Code=10 permission denied", due to lack of entitlement, as i can understand.


So, here are my questions


  1. Is my diagnosis correct?
  2. Is there a way to run my test applications without Network Extension entitlement?


Thanks in advance.

You seem to be operating off old information here. A typical VPN client no longer needs special entitlements from Apple. See Network Extension Framework Entitlements for the latest info (and some backstory that helps explain how we got here).
