NEHotspotHelper register call always returns false
I have been haunted by this strange issue for days on working with the NEHotspotHelper API from network extensions.My Xcode version is Version 10.0 (10A255)We have been approved by Apple on using the HotspotHelper – NetworkExtension capabilities via the online application form.The appID we are using has been properly updated with the “NetworkExtension” entitlement enabled.We have recreated the development provisioning profile that matches the updated info for this appID and used manual code signing for this appID from XCode.Whenever I use a physical device to test my simple code for registering handler to this NEHotspotHelper API, the returned result of the call is always false/NO;Looks like there was a bit of gap between the documentation and actual environment, while documentation keeps asking to have com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotHelper added to the entitlement file, with Boolean value true/YES.I have xcode complaining about this “Alien” entry every time I try to build with it, saying :-1: Provisioning profile "doesn't include the com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotHelper entitlement. (in target ‘’)I have tried with multiple code snippet from various dev forums/ article which all of them had been claimed working without issue, and none worked for me.I wonder if you might have an idea on what could I possibly had missed.
