Jason,

My bad, you’re right regarding the Personal VPN.

I just ran your patch and it works great. As David pointed out, the call to valueForKeyPath should be guarded because it throws exception if the given key path does not exist. I use the availability check to bruteforce utun on iOS 15, macOS 12 and onwards while keeping the Key value coding approach on older iOS and macOS as we know that it works great on iOS < 15 and macOS < 12. Just ran the app on macOS 11.4 and it’s still working and using the old code path.

I took a liberty to refactor the proposed solution (see: https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-apple/commit/?id=a7ccc8e3031f3502ea4b53a914d37589186e40f8)

Cheers,
Andrej
