Can't save config when connecting though "Intent Extension".

[houmie]

Hi @ss-abramchuk,

I hope you are feeling better, mate.

When trying to connect the following steps have to be taken:

self.tunnelProviderManager?.loadFromPreferences and then 
self.tunnelProviderManager?.saveToPreferences

if no errors then load the config again:
self.tunnelProviderManager?.loadFromPreferences
and only then connect:
self.tunnelProviderManager!.connection.startVPNTunnel()

This works fine from the app. But when using Siri shortcuts and trying to connect though Intent extension, it fails at saving the config:

Failed to save configuration: Error Domain=NEVPNErrorDomain Code=1 "configuration type is wrong" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=configuration type is wrong}

Is there anyway to know why it thinks the config is wrong?

Many Thanks,
Houman

Hello, FYI I was trying to implement Siri Shortcuts/Intents integration for a VPN iOS app and got the same error. It looks like it’s an Apple bug https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/96020 😕. That’s super annoying because it means we just can’t update configurations at the moment.
