Edit: my statement about bearer management can be disregarded - I have checked 
this framework - we don't use it and never did.

Best regards,
   Timur.

Short answer: no. We don't use Network Extension Framework. In the past, one of 
bearer's plugin was using framework which probably fits into some categories 
mentioned by the Apple's documentation, but this plugin was disabled in Qt 5 
and removed in Qt 6.

Best regards,
   Timur.

Subject: [Development] Does Qt use the iOS Network Extension Framework?

I asked this question on the Qt Development Forum and was told to go
here instead.

I have read all 79 pages of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement :)

Section 3.3.26 says:

"Your Application must not access the Network Extension Framework unless
Your Application is primarily designed for providing networking
capabilities, and You have received an entitlement from Apple for such
access."

Section 1.2:

“Network Extension Framework” means the Documented APIs that provide
Applications with the ability to customize certain networking features
of compatible Apple-branded products (e.g., customizing the
authentication process for WiFi Hotspots, VPN features, and content
filtering mechanisms).

So my question is, would a Qt app that uses QNetworkAccessManager,
QNetworkRequest, QNetworkReply, QSslConfiguration, QSslSocket and
without any custom code for iOS use the Network Extension Framework?
