Hey guys,

for an MacOS App we want to provide a MDM to enable the use of the finder extension.

Currently the app still requires user actions in the setting. System Preferences --> Extensions --> Finder Extensions 

Currently the PayloadContent of my profile looks like:

 

 

<key>PayloadContent</key> <array> <dict> <key>AllowedExtensions</key> <array> <string>com.apple.FinderSync</string> </array> <key>PayloadIdentifier</key> <string>myApp.finderextension</string> <key>PayloadType</key> <string>com.apple.nsextension</string> <key>PayloadUUID</key> <string>9726bc46-1e51-466b-99e3-abcabcabcabc</string> <key>PayloadVersion</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </array>

 

 

 I receive no errors, but the "finder extension" toggle is still deactivated.

I've tried also the example from: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/systemextensions

You need to use the pluginkit command

pluginkit -e use -i com.myapp.finderextension

 

To get a list of available extensions, use

 

pluginkit -m

Is there no way to achieve this using a configuration profile?
