I have a custom VPN app that uses NETunnelProviderManager to install a VPN Profile if one is not already installed. On previous iOS versions this would open the VPN Settings and ask for either the PIN, FaceID or TouchID and install the profile. With iOS 26 beta5 it opens the VPN Settings and stops.

Is this a bug in iOS 26? Have there been changes to NETunnelProviderManager for iOS 26 that I'm not aware of?

FYI we do the samething on macOS 26 beta5 and that works as expected.

Is this a bug in iOS 26?

Yes, and I encourage you to file it as such.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

And, and FYI, this thread describes a similar issue when using a configuration profile rather than the API.

Same here. The callback from OS is never called when calling saveToPreferences
