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?
