Can a daemon launch a system extension (via an activationRequestForExtension)? I have a daemon that attempts this however if fails with an error of "Invalid Code signature or missing entitlements" I've added the system-extension entitlement to the daemon's plist, however, I'm not sure daemons will honor the entitlement. The bundle and daemon is signed.
