Hi,I have read in several articales that KEXTs will not run in 10.16, but have not seen any such official statement from Apple.Can anyone confirm this?I know that KEXTs are going to be deprecated, but will they run on 10.16 or will they be blocked by the OS?Thanks!

Hi, I have a project that contains multiple executables (command-line apps and cocoa apps), all of which are installed under /Library/Application Support/ When the apps run, the command-line apps and one cocoa app appear in the FDA pane, while the others do not, and have to be added manually. Of course I do not want users to have to do that. Is there some configuration that needs to be done so that the apps will appear in the list? It seems to be some indexing issue, when I open the folder in Finder - the apps immediately show up in the FDA list (of course I don't want to have to do this either). Thanks :)

Hi, According to this article: thenextweb.com/plugged/2020/11/16/apple-apps-on-big-sur-bypass-firewalls-vpns-analysis-macos/ it seems that some applications are white-listed in BigSur so that network extensions don’t see the network traffic from those applications. After some testing, it seems that this is the case only if a NEFilterDataProvider is used. If a NEFilterPacketProvider is used, all network traffic is seen by the filter – i.e. no white listing of Big Sur apps. Can someone please confirm that this is the case and shed some light on this issue? Thanks!
