This is not true. kexts are still signed by apple after being submitted and vetted.
- heavyset_go 5y agoApple deprecated KEXTs[1], but still signs some .kexts they've chosen to grandfather in like macFUSE. [1] https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/ https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/
- JonathonW 5y agoKexts are not deprecated in general-- only kexts that use deprecated KPIs are deprecated. (The page you link is the list of deprecated KPIs.) The net effect of this: if something can be done using a System Extension rather than a kernel extension, you'll get deprecation warnings if you try to do it with a kernel extension. Kernel extension points that have not been replaced yet are still valid, will still be signed if used, and will still run on current versions of macOS.
