Hi there,

It is well known that system extension could not be uninstalled via api level since the beginning, typically OSSystemExtensionRequest.deactivationRequest.

Now that with the latest Monterey release 12.2, is it still the case?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Regards

Richard

Yes, this is the recommended path. Are you seeing an issue here?

The one specific change that I’m aware of in macOS 12 is the introduction of the RemovableSystemExtensions property. See this page for details.

Just to be clear, this applies to managed systems, right?
