Use iOS 8 network extension to install signed VPN profiles programmatically

Question

Based on this tutorial and apple's new network extension framework for iOS 8 I developed a small vpn application that is able to install, remove, connect and disconnect vpn profiles. Unfortunately this tutorial deals only with unsigned vpn profiles. Also, apple didn't publish any documentation so far and refers to the framework's header files where I couldn't find anything about signed vpn profiles. I wonder if there is a way at all. Does anybody know if and how this can be achieved?

I checked the following header files for hints on this topic:

NetworkExtension/NEVPNManager.h
NetworkExtension/NEVPNConnection.h
NetworkExtension/NEVPNProtocol.h
NetworkExtension/NEVPNProtocolIPSec.h

Answer 1

The Network Extension framework in iOS 8 creates profiles that are unsigned and there is no option currently to get the profiles to show as signed/verified. Would definitely write a bug report against Apple about this.

Answer 2

in iOS 9 user doesn't have this view. User will see only request to add VPN configuration profile to settings.
