The most common problems I see in this space are:
* code signing issues — You have to make sure that both your app and your provider extension are signed with the special Network Extension entitlements, and both are covered by a provisioning profile that whitelists those entitlements. See the following DevForums post for details.
<https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/75928#75928>
* extension registration — Registration problems are more common on OS X than iOS because the app install process is more free form. You can confirm that the extension is registered with the following command:
$ pluginkit -m -p com.apple.networkextension.packet-tunnel
This should produce output that shows your extension. To get a feeling for the output you should expect to see, you can run the command for some other extension point. For example, to see share extensions:
$ pluginkit -m -p com.apple.share-services
If your extension isn't registered, you should do two things:
- Install your app on a fresh machine (I use a VM for this, rolling back to a snapshot for each debugging iteration) to see that it works in general. A lot of the time problems like this only occur on your development machine, where you're continually creating and launching new versions of the app.
- On your development machine you can force the extension to register using:
$ pluginkit -a /path/to/extension
Share and Enjoy
