I filed FB19631435 about this just now. Basically: starting with 15.6, we've had reports (internally and outternally) that after some period of time, networking fails so badly that it can't even acquire a DHCP lease, and the system needs to be rebooted to fix this. The systems in question all have at least 2 VPN applications installed; ours is a transparent proxy provider, and the affected system also had Crowdstrike's Falcon installed. A customer system reported seemingly identical failures on their systems; they don't have Crowdstrike, but they do have Cyberhaven's. Has anyone else seen somethng like this? Since it seems to involve three different networking extensions, I'm assuming it's due to an interaction between them, not a bug in any individual one. But what do I know? 😄

Hello, I have been implementing NEAppPushProvider class to establish my own protocol to directly communicate with our provider server without the need to rely on APNs for background push notifications. I am at a stage where I am able to establish a tcp communicator and receive messages back and forth but I noticed that when I disconnect from the WIFI I've set up by setting a given SSID, I am not getting hit on the Stop method. Below is briefly how I load and save preferences. NEAppPushManager appPushManager = new NEAppPushManager(); appPushManager.LoadFromPreferences((error) => { if (error != null) { Console.WriteLine($"Error loading NEAppPushManager preferences: {error.LocalizedDescription}"); return; } if (!enable) { Console.WriteLine("Disabling Local Push Provider..."); appPushManager.Enabled = false; // ✅ Immediately update UserDefaults before saving preferences userDefaults.SetBool(false, Constants.IsLocalPushEnabled); userDefaults.Synchronize(); appPushManager.SaveToPreferences((saveError) => { if (saveError != null) { Console.WriteLine($"Error disabling Local Push: {saveError.LocalizedDescription}"); } else { Console.WriteLine("Local Push successfully disabled."); } }); return; } // ✅ Now we can safely enable Local Push Console.WriteLine($"Enabling Local Push for SSID: {_currentSSID}"); appPushManager.MatchSsids = new string[] { _currentSSID }; appPushManager.LocalizedDescription = "LocalPushProvider"; appPushManager.ProviderBundleIdentifier = Constants.LocalPushExtensionBundleId; appPushManager.Enabled = true; appPushManager.SaveToPreferences((saveError) => { if (saveError != null) { Console.WriteLine($"Error saving Local Push settings: {saveError.LocalizedDescription}"); } else { Console.WriteLine("✅ Local Push successfully registered."); userDefaults.SetBool(true, Constants.IsLocalPushEnabled); userDefaults.Synchronize(); } }); }); I've read through documentation and was expecting the Stop method to be hit when I turn off Wifi. Am I missing anything? Please let me know if I should provide more info. Currently I just have a console writeline method inside the Stop method to see if it actually gets hit.

I am running a full-tunnel VPN using a Packet Tunnel Provider. During VPN setup, we configure DNS setting with specific DNS servers for all domains to be used by the tunnel. However, our project requires DNS resolution for every domain from both the VPN-provided DNS servers and the ISP’s DNS servers. When I attempt to use c-ares or other third-party libraries to resolve domains via the ISP DNS servers, these libraries only detect and use the VPN DNS servers instead. As a result, all queries fail. Is there a way on iOS to programmatically determine the ISP DNS servers while a full-tunnel VPN is active, or a system API that allows DNS queries to be explicitly resolved using the ISP’s DNS servers?

We are developing a client server application using TCP bsd sockets. When our client is connected to the server, copying another client .app bundle from a file server on the same machine (using Finder or terminal using cp), occasionally causes the first client to disconnect. The client receives an EBROKENPIPE error when attempting to write to its socket. In the Console, the following message appears just before the disconnection: necp_socket_find_policy_match: Marking socket in state 258 as defunct This issue seems to occur only when copying an .app bundle signed with the same TeamIdentifier as the running client. Copying arbitrary files or bundles with a different TeamIdentifier does not trigger the problem. We are running on macOS 15.5. The issue appears specific to macOS 15 and was not observed on earlier versions. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to intercept localhost connections within NETransparentProxyProvider system extension. As per NENetworkRule documentation If the address is a wildcard address (0.0.0.0 or ::) then the rule will match all destinations except for loopback (127.0.0.1 or ::1). To match loopback traffic set the address to the loopback address. I tried to add NWHostEndpoint *localhostv4 = [NWHostEndpoint endpointWithHostname:@"127.0.0.1" port:@""]; NENetworkRule *localhostv4Rule = [[NENetworkRule alloc] initWithDestinationNetwork:localhostv4 prefix:32 protocol:NENetworkRuleProtocolAny]; in the include network rules. I tried several variations of this rule like port 0, prefix 0 and some others. But the provider disregards the rule and the never receives any traffic going to localhost on any port. Is there any other configuration required to receive localhost traffic in NETransparentProxyProvider?

hello I am testing the use of network extension. When we use dnsproxy to proxy DNS requests, we will send you a message that the udp pcbcount of your system continues to increase. For example for ((i=1; i<=99999; i++));do echo "Attempt $i:" dig google.com done when the dig command is used continuously, the dig command will show the following errors when pcbcount reaches a certain number. isc_socket_bind: address not available Can you help us determine what the problem might be? thank you

We've received logs and have spuriously reproduced the following behavior: calls to setTunnelNetworkSettings completing with NETunnelProviderError where the code is networkSettingsInvalid, and the error domain string is empty. After subsequent calls to setTunnelNetworkSettings, the tunnel is stopped via the userInitiated stop reason within around 1 second from the first failure. This happens after a number of successful calls to setTunnelNetworkSettings have been made in the lifetime of a given packet tunnel process. We can confirm that no user ever initiates the disconnection. We can confirm that the only significant changes between the different calls to setTunnelNetworkSettings are that the parameters contain different private IPs for the tunnel settings - the routes and DNS settings remain the same. In our limited testing, it seems that we can replicate the behavior we're observing by removing the VPN profile while the tunnel is up. However, we are certain the same behavior happens under other circumstances without any user interaction. Is this what memory starvation looks like? Or is this something else? Our main concern is that the tunnel is killed and it is not brought back up even though our profile is set to be on-demand. It's difficult to give any promises about leaks to our users if the tunnel can be killed at any point and not be brought back. The spurious disconnections are a security issue for our app, we'd like to know if there's anything we can do differently so that this does not happen. We tried to get DTS, but given that we have no way to reproduce this issue with a minimal project. But we can reproduce the behavior (kill the tunnel by removing it's profile) from a minimal Xcode project, is that considered good enough for a reproduction?

We've often observed connectivity issues from our VPN app that can only be remedied by removing the VPN profile. It happens to a small but significant amount of our users, this often happens more when the app is updated, but the VPN profile corruption can happen without that too. The behavior we're observing is that any socket opened by the packet tunnel process just fails to send any data whatsoever. Stopping and restarting the packet tunnel does not help. The only solution is to remove the profile and create a new one. We believe our app is not the only one suffering from this issue as other VPN apps have added a specific button to refresh their VPN profile, which seemingly deletes and re-created the VPN configuration profile. Previously, we've caught glimpses of this in a sysdiagnose, but that was a while ago and we found nothing of interest. Alas, the sysdiagnose was not captured on a device with the network extension diagnostic profile (it was not a developer device). I would love to get technical support with this, as our bug reports have gone unanswered for long enough, yet we are still struggling with this issue. But of course, there is no minimum viable xcodeproject that reproduces this. Is there anything we can feasibly do to help with this issue? Is it even an acknowledged issue?

I am developing an iOS application using NWPathMonitor for network connectivity monitoring. We discovered a reproducible issue where disabling and re-enabling WiFi triggers an unexpected network status sequence. ENVIRONMENT: iOS Version: 17.x Device: iPhone (various models tested) Network Framework: NWPathMonitor from iOS Network framework STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Device connected to WiFi normally Disable WiFi via Settings or Control Center Re-enable WiFi via Settings or Control Center EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: WiFi reconnects and NWPathMonitor reports stable satisfied status ACTUAL BEHAVIOR: T+0s: WiFi re-enables, NWPathMonitor reports path.status = .satisfied T+8s: NWPathMonitor unexpectedly reports path.status = .unsatisfied with unsatisfiedReason = .notAvailable T+9-10s: NWPathMonitor reports path.status = .satisfied again Connection becomes stable afterward NETWORK PATH TIMELINE: T+0s: satisfied (IPv4: true, DNS: false) T+140ms: satisfied (IPv4: true, DNS: true) T+8.0s: unsatisfied (reason: notAvailable, no interfaces available) T+10.0s: satisfied (IPv4: true, DNS: true) KEY OBSERVATIONS: Timing consistency: unsatisfied event always occurs ~8 seconds after reconnection resolution: "Reset Network Settings" eliminates this behavior TECHNICAL QUESTIONS: What causes the 8-second delayed unsatisfied status after WiFi re-enablement? Is this expected behavior that applications should handle? Why does reset network setting in iPhone fix this issue?

We have a NEFilterDataProvider extension that intercepts all TCP and UDP IPv4/6 traffic. At times just after wakeup from sleep, it causes internet access issues, such as showing "This site can't be reached" when opening websites. The traffic is not being dropped by the extension. According to the logs, the connection is being closed after approximately 4 minutes. During the issue, the flow logs are as follows: Flow 515129771 is connecting New flow: NEFlow type = stream, app = com.google.Chrome.helper... Detaching, ref count = 2 (logged after ~4 minutes) Sending close, how = 2 Removing from group 2, ref count = 2 Destroying, app tx 0, tunnel tx 0, tunnel rx 0 Closing reads, not closed by plugin Closing writes, not sending close Any suggestions on the possible cause and how to further debug it?

Hi everyone, I’m currently developing a macOS app that is distributed via a DMG file on our website. The app includes an App Extension (appex) for Network Extension functionality. I’m wondering if distributing via DMG on the web requires the app extension to be implemented as a System Extension instead of an App Extension. Is it necessary to migrate to System Extension for web-based DMG distribution, or can I continue using App Extension as is? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to transmit a UIImage (png or tiff) securely to an application running in my desktop browser (Mac or PC). The desktop application and iOS app would potentially be running on the same local network (iOS hotspot or something) or have no internet connection at all. I'm trying to securely send over an image that the running desktop app could ingest. I was thinking something like a local server securely accepting image data from an iPhone. Any suggestions ideas or where to look for more info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your help.

ios構成プロファイルの制限のallowCloudPrivateRelayのプライベートリレーの制御とRelayペイロードの機能は関係がありますか？ それとも別々の機能でしょうか？ ↓ s there a relationship between the private relay control in the iOS configuration profile restriction allowCloudPrivateRelay and the functionality of the Relay payload? Or are they separate features?

We’re looking to implement a custom IPSec IKEv2 VPN using the Packet Tunnel Provider network extension on iOS because we need to add extra information to EAP, which the built-in IKEv2 VPN configuration does not support. Is it possible to handle the full IKEv2 negotiation and IPSec tunneling within the Packet Tunnel Provider extension? Or are there limitations that would prevent implementing a full IKEv2 stack this way? Any insights or alternative approaches would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just bought a macbook pro m4, im trying to run an api on port 5000, disabled airplay receiver, checked processes, ghost ones, hidden ones, and stuck ones. I didn't find a thing using the port, but i still get port in use.

For important background information, read Extra-ordinary Networking before reading this. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Working with a Wi-Fi Accessory Building an app that works with a Wi-Fi accessory presents specific challenges. This post discusses those challenges and some recommendations for how to address them. Note While my focus here is iOS, much of the info in this post applies to all Apple platforms. IMPORTANT iOS 18 introduced AccessorySetupKit, a framework to simplify the discovery and configuration of an accessory. I’m not fully up to speed on that framework myself, but I encourage you to watch WWDC 2024 Session 10203 Meet AccessorySetupKit and read the framework documentation. IMPORTANT iOS 26 introduced WiFiAware, a framework for setting up communication with Wi-Fi Aware accessories. Wi-Fi Aware is an industry standard to securely discover, pair, and communicate with nearby devices. This is especially useful for stand-alone accessories (defined below). For more on this framework, watch WWDC 2025 Session 228 Supercharge device connectivity with Wi-Fi Aware and read the framework documentation. For information on how to create a Wi-Fi Aware accessory that works with iPhone, go to Developer > Accessories, download Accessory Design Guidelines for Apple Devices, and review the Wi-Fi Aware chapter. Accessory Categories I classify Wi-Fi accessories into three different categories. A bound accessory is ultimately intended to join the user’s Wi-Fi network. It may publish its own Wi-Fi network during the setup process, but the goal of that process is to get the accessory on to the existing network. Once that’s done, your app interacts with the accessory using ordinary networking APIs. An example of a bound accessory is a Wi-Fi capable printer. A stand-alone accessory publishes a Wi-Fi network at all times. An iOS device joins that network so that your app can interact with it. The accessory never provides access to the wider Internet. An example of a stand-alone accessory is a video camera that users take with them into the field. You might want to write an app that joins the camera’s network and downloads footage from it. A gateway accessory is one that publishes a Wi-Fi network that provides access to the wider Internet. Your app might need to interact with the accessory during the setup process, but after that it’s useful as is. An example of this is a Wi-Fi to WWAN gateway. Not all accessories fall neatly into these categories. Indeed, some accessories might fit into multiple categories, or transition between categories. Still, I’ve found these categories to be helpful when discussing various accessory integration challenges. Do You Control the Firmware? The key question here is Do you control the accessory’s firmware? If so, you have a bunch of extra options that will make your life easier. If not, you have to adapt to whatever the accessory’s current firmware does. Simple Improvements If you do control the firmware, I strongly encourage you to: Support IPv6 Implement Bonjour [1] These two things are quite easy to do — most embedded platforms support them directly, so it’s just a question of turning them on — and they will make your life significantly easier: Link-local addresses are intrinsic to IPv6, and IPv6 is intrinsic to Apple platforms. If your accessory supports IPv6, you’ll always be able to communicate with it, regardless of how messed up the IPv4 configuration gets. Similarly, if you support Bonjour, you’ll always be able to find your accessory on the network. [1] Bonjour is an Apple term for three Internet standards: RFC 3927 Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses RFC 6762 Multicast DNS RFC 6763 DNS-Based Service Discovery WAC For a bound accessory, support Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC). This is a relatively big ask — supporting WAC requires you to join the MFi Program — but it has some huge benefits: You don’t need to write an app to configure your accessory. The user will be able to do it directly from Settings. If you do write an app, you can use the EAWiFiUnconfiguredAccessoryBrowser class to simplify your configuration process. HomeKit For a bound accessory that works in the user’s home, consider supporting HomeKit. This yields the same onboarding benefits as WAC, and many other benefits as well. Also, you can get started with the HomeKit Open Source Accessory Development Kit (ADK). Bluetooth LE If your accessory supports Bluetooth LE, think about how you can use that to improve your app’s user experience. For an example of that, see SSID Scanning, below. Claiming the Default Route, Or Not? If your accessory publishes a Wi-Fi network, a key design decision is whether to stand up enough infrastructure for an iOS device to make it the default route. IMPORTANT To learn more about how iOS makes the decision to switch the default route, see The iOS Wi-Fi Lifecycle and Network Interface Concepts. This decision has significant implications. If the accessory’s network becomes the default route, most network connections from iOS will be routed to your accessory. If it doesn’t provide a path to the wider Internet, those connections will fail. That includes connections made by your own app. Note It’s possible to get around this by forcing your network connections to run over WWAN. See Binding to an Interface in Network Interface Techniques and Running an HTTP Request over WWAN. Of course, this only works if the user has WWAN. It won’t help most iPad users, for example. OTOH, if your accessory’s network doesn’t become the default route, you’ll see other issues. iOS will not auto-join such a network so, if the user locks their device, they’ll have to manually join the network again. In my experience a lot of accessories choose to become the default route in situations where they shouldn’t. For example, a bound accessory is never going to be able to provide a path to the wider Internet so it probably shouldn’t become the default route. However, there are cases where it absolutely makes sense, the most obvious being that of a gateway accessory. Acting as a Captive Network, or Not? If your accessory becomes the default route you must then decide whether to act like a captive network or not. IMPORTANT To learn more about how iOS determines whether a network is captive, see The iOS Wi-Fi Lifecycle. For bound and stand-alone accessories, becoming a captive network is generally a bad idea. When the user joins your network, the captive network UI comes up and they have to successfully complete it to stay on the network. If they cancel out, iOS will leave the network. That makes it hard for the user to run your app while their iOS device is on your accessory’s network. In contrast, it’s more reasonable for a gateway accessory to act as a captive network. SSID Scanning Many developers think that TN3111 iOS Wi-Fi API overview is lying when it says: iOS does not have a general-purpose API for Wi-Fi scanning It is not. Many developers think that the Hotspot Helper API is a panacea that will fix all their Wi-Fi accessory integration issues, if only they could get the entitlement to use it. It will not. Note this comment in the official docs: NEHotspotHelper is only useful for hotspot integration. There are both technical and business restrictions that prevent it from being used for other tasks, such as accessory integration or Wi-Fi based location. Even if you had the entitlement you would run into these technical restrictions. The API was specifically designed to support hotspot navigation — in this context hotspots are “Wi-Fi networks where the user must interact with the network to gain access to the wider Internet” — and it does not give you access to on-demand real-time Wi-Fi scan results. Many developers look at another developer’s app, see that it’s displaying real-time Wi-Fi scan results, and think there’s some special deal with Apple that’ll make that work. There is not. In reality, Wi-Fi accessory developers have come up with a variety of creative approaches for this, including: If you have a bound accessory, you might add WAC support, which makes this whole issue go away. In many cases, you can avoid the need for Wi-Fi scan results by adopting AccessorySetupKit. You might build your accessory with a barcode containing the info required to join its network, and scan that from your app. This is the premise behind the Configuring a Wi-Fi Accessory to Join the User’s Network sample code. You might configure all your accessories to have a common SSID prefix, and then take advantage of the prefix support in NEHotspotConfigurationManager. See Programmatically Joining a Network, below. You might have your app talk to your accessory via some other means, like Bluetooth LE, and have the accessory scan for Wi-Fi networks and return the results. Programmatically Joining a Network Network Extension framework has an API, NEHotspotConfigurationManager, to programmatically join a network, either temporarily or as a known network that supports auto-join. For the details, see Wi-Fi Configuration. One feature that’s particularly useful is it’s prefix support, allowing you to create a configuration that’ll join any network with a specific prefix. See the init(ssidPrefix:) initialiser for the details. For examples of how to use this API, see: Configuring a Wi-Fi Accessory to Join the User’s Network — It shows all the steps for one approach for getting a non-WAC bound accessory on to the user’s network. NEHotspotConfiguration Sample — Use this to explore the API in general. Secure Communication Users expect all network communication to be done securely. For some ideas on how to set up a secure connection to an accessory, see TLS For Accessory Developers.

Hi, I would like to confirm whether the matchDomains property in NERelayManager operates strictly at the Application Layer. Specifically, it seems that adding IPv4 addresses or IPv4 CIDR blocks to the matchDomains list does not work, as the relay manager appears unable to match them. For example, I tried adding the following IPv4 patterns to the matchDomains list: 11.22.33.44 11.22.. 11.22.* However, these IPv4 addresses or patterns are not routed through my Relay server. Additionally, I have observed that when using only the excludedDomains property, the desired IPv4 traffic is correctly routed to the relay server as expected. My question is: Can IPv4 addresses or IPv4 CIDR ranges work with matchDomains? If not, is there an alternative approach to enable IPv4 matching while matchDomains is active?

Hi, I would like to confirm if the matchDomains property in NERelayManager operates exclusively at the application layer. Specifically, it seems that adding IPv4 addresses or IPv4 CIDR blocks to the matchDomains list does not work, as the relay manager appears unable to match them. Relay Configuration For example, I tried adding the following IPv4 patterns to the matchDomains list: 11.22.33.44 11.22.. 11.22.* In this configuration, I expected traffic to be routed to the relay server as defined by the matchDomains entries. However, the relay manager did not handle these IPv4 patterns as anticipated. On the other hand, when using only the excludedDomains property, the desired IPv4 traffic is successfully routed to the relay server as expected. Purpose of Forwarding IPv4 to the Relay Server The primary reason for forwarding IPv4 traffic to the relay server is to address cases where certain applications—such as those developed with Flutter or React Native—use their own custom network stack. These custom network stacks often do not respect the relay configuration. As a result, even when these applications use domains that are matched by the relay manager’s matchDomains, their TCP connections to DNS-resolved IPv4 addresses bypass the relay server and connect directly to the IPv4 server. This behavior makes it critical to enable IPv4 matching to ensure all traffic, regardless of the application’s network stack implementation, is routed through the relay server. Questions Can IPv4 addresses or IPv4 CIDR blocks be used with matchDomains? If not, is there an alternative method to enable IPv4 matching while keeping matchDomains enabled? Thank you for your assistance.

I have a question regarding /etc/pf.conf. If I use this rule, rdr pass on bridge100 inet proto tcp from 192.168.2.104 to any port {80, 443, 8883} -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080 all other traffic on bridge100 will not function properly, even the traffic that is not destined for 192.168.2.104. Additionally, the hotspot generated through bridge100 will also become unavailable. Even if I comment out this rule and run sudo pfctl -e -f /etc/pf.conf, the problem still persists. The situation will only return to normal when I restart my Mac. my macos:15.3.2 my /etc/pf.conf # scrub-anchor "com.apple/*" nat-anchor "com.apple/*" rdr-anchor "com.apple/*" rdr pass on bridge100 inet proto tcp from 192.168.2.104 to any port {80, 443, 8883} -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080 dummynet-anchor "com.apple/*" anchor "com.apple/*" load anchor "com.apple" from "/etc/pf.anchors/com.apple"
