Reply to URL Filter Network Extension
I have implemented sample project for URL filtering using below sample reference https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/filtering-traffic-by-url. It is running fine for default url input but when trying to update input.txtpb file from PIR server then unable to block the newly added urls even though I am restarting the server.

So, currently I implemented a small POC app with content filtering and it seems to be working fine when I run it through Xcode. But as I uploaded the app to test flight then I do not see any setting related to content filtering in the Settings App or can not see any kind of permission alert for filtering. Same behaviour for ad hoc build as well. So what should we do in this case ?

Can you clarify what you mean by that? I mean, we are working on implementing a solution that prevents access to specific URLs by blocking any websites included in a predefined block list across all browsers installed on an iOS device. The goal is to ensure that users cannot access restricted web content, regardless of which browser they use on the device. As our SDK's main goal is to prevent bank users from getting scammed. If you see in the above images, currently I have created a POC using content filter where I am trying to check if url entered by user is there in the blocked url rules if it is so then do not load that URL and eventually browser shows error including organization name . I want to achieve similar kind of behaviour in case of URL filter

Thanks for the code. I still have two more questions, will it work with WebKit as well and in which class can I use this code ?. Because in my case, I am trying to implement a solution that would block urls from the block list on the browsers installed on iOS device.

That's interesting, can you please help with small code snippet or steps that I need to do, to achieve this. Because as per documentation, we use this NEURLFilter for filtering network traffic for the apps which are using networking frameworks other than WebKit or Foundation’s URLSession

One more thing, when using NEFilterManager we can set organization name like following way manager.loadFromPreferences { error in if let error = error { print("Failed to load filter preferences: \(error)") return } // Configure the filter if needed manager.localizedDescription = "Expleo Content Filter" let config = NEFilterProviderConfiguration() config.organization = "PTSB Protect USSSSSS" manager.providerConfiguration = config how we can achieve same in case of NEURLFilterManager

I also want to automate the process of reading the block list data from my app server updating it in the bloom filter, what steps I need to take into consideration.

Thanks for the answer, so it means I cannot distribute content filter solution on normal devices via App Store ?
