There's another thread with a minimal working example here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/718480 Can someone from Apple take a look?

Thanks for the reply. I found out that our app was missing com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotHelper entitlement in the app provisioning profile. The same entitlement in a network extension doesn't cause the app to crash. The problem is, I can't generate mac Catalyst profile with this entitlement because I don't see this option in the developer portal. It works for iOS provisioning profiles with the same App ID (the iOS version is already released with this entitlement). Is HotspotHelper entitlement granted per platform or is there any other way how to use it with mac Catalyst?
