Hi, Team: I developed a network filter and used MDM to issue a description file. By configuring AllowedSystemExtensions, I can avoid the reminder of loading system extensions during installation. However, when savingToPreferencesWithCompletionHandler, I will still be reminded that my network data is monitored. How can I configure MDM to avoid this reminder? And why can I still delete the filter from the network filter conditions even though I configured it in mobileconfig in the following way. <key>NonRemovableFromUISystemExtensions</key> <array> <string>com.mysystemextensionid</string> </array>

There are two separate operations here:

Activating the sysex
Enabling the filter

AllowedSystemExtensions applies only to the first. In a managed environment you usually accomplish the second using a com.apple.webcontent-filter payload.
