I try implement KEXT for USBHID Device. If i am checking on Terminal It able to load KEXT ie
Newtok:Desktop Rasheed$ kextutil -nt SampleKextDriver.kext
No kernel file specified; using running kernel for linking.
SampleKextDriver.kext appears to be loadable (including linkage for on-disk libraries).
But Unfortunately I Got the above Message. My plist File is

    1.U should not using -n option when loading your kext.
    The -n option for kextutil seems used to generate the symbol file only.
    The -t option for kextutil print the failed reason when error occurs.
    For more details about kextutil, u should type man kextutil in the Terminal.

    2.I suggest u to open the Terminal and type follow commands to determine the version of the Kexts your driver depends on. (Of course, u should specify the lowest version of the system your driver needs to support.)

    kextstat |grep com.apple.iokit.IOHIDFamily
    kextstat |grep com.apple.kpi.iokit
    kextstat |grep com.apple.kpi.libkern

    then update the OSBundleLibraries dictionary of your driver’s info.plist.

    3.Hope this is useful for u. Have a good day!
