Network extension rights, how to enable it?

Question

I need to use the network extension features in the application, especially to use the proxy features. The document says:

Unless you are using the NEHotspotHelper class, you do not need to obtain permissions from Apple to use the network extension classes . However, you still need to activate permission to expand the network through the developer's portal . To request the right to use the NEHotspotHelper class, visit https://developer.apple.com/contact/network-extension .

I went to the developer's portal, but could not find how to enable permission to expand the network. Is it because my role is “administrator” and not “team agent”? Or can someone tell me how to enable this right?

Answer 1

Due to the confusing document and feature missing in xcode 8.1, it cost me a whole week to find a solution.

• Make sure you sign up for the Apple Developer program (it’s not free, you need to pay $ 100 a year).
• Go to https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/identifier/bundle
• Select IDs => Application Names
• Click on your application on the right (if not, you can create it using xcode),
• "", " "
