I already received some feedback from users inquiring why the toolbar icon is blue in my extension.
Just so it's clear for anyone coming to this topic , the developers have no way of removing the blue colour.
Hello,
Any update on this bug?
Thank you

I don't think it's currently possible and I doubt it will ever be.
What you can do is have a companion app to read the local files (will require user's permission) and communicate with the extension via native messaging.
I obviously understand bugs are not fixed immediately but considering 110 just came out and the issue persists, is there any way to actively track this bug in case I need to provide more feedback? I noticed my original feedback ID was never updated despite actually being partly implemented.
I am just concerned it will go unfixed by the time Safari 14 comes out of beta
Right, I am aware of the reasoning and I (sort of) agree with it. My question is the unexpected behaviour.
Safari changes the baseURI of the extensions on launch. If there are any extension internal pages open, eg.: safari-extensions://1234-1234-123-1233/ it will reload the tab with the new baseURI.
My question is if stripping the query parameters from those internal pages, expected or a bug.
Thank you
Yes, this works! I just tested this as I was curious myself, and when Safari asked me for Touch ID my watch would also give me the option to authorise a sign in. Is there any place where this can be tested? All webauthn demos I see use the security key

@bweinsteinJust checked TP 107, the issue remains.Here's a very short video recording showing the issue, notice the location.href output before and after restarting Safari:https://dropbox.com/s/kgcfyhb5vquielz/Screen%20Recording%202020-05-15%20at%2023.29.43.mov?dl=0

Thank you for your reply!Repro steps:1. Make the extension open a new tab with the baseURI and a parameter, eg.:safari-extension://2CB967-22BA-44F3-B604-72611F/aafefbf/test.html?title=Apple&color=redHere's the code I'm using:SFSafariApplication.getActiveWindow { activeWindow in
SFSafariExtension.getBaseURI { baseURI in
guard let baseURI = baseURI else { return }
var urlComponents = URLComponents(string: baseURI.appendingPathComponent("test.html").absoluteString);
urlComponents?.queryItems = [
URLQueryItem(name: "title", value: "Apple"),
URLQueryItem(name: "color", value: "red"),
];
activeWindow?.openTab(with: (urlComponents?.url)!, makeActiveIfPossible: true, completionHandler: {_ in });
}
}3. Wait for the page to load4. Quit Safari5. Open SafariExpectation:- Safari updates the baseURL of that tab and keeps the query parameters, eg:safari-extension://11111-new-baseURI-44F3-B604-72611F/o213s/test.html?title=Apple&color=redActual:- Safari sets the tab's url with the baseURI only, stripping the query parameters, eg:safari-extension://11111-new-baseURI-44F3-B604-72611F/o213s/test.htmlThank you

@bweinsteinThe issue persists in TP 105. I'm afraid this change will get merged to the main Safari release, effectively killing my Safari extension.Is there anything I can add to the plist file to make Safari not strip the query parameters?Thank you

Hi,Just saw the TP 104 release, thank you!There is just one issue that could prove fatal for the extension I developed. Not sure if it's intentional, but the query parameters are stripped from the url when it gets restored. For instance, this is the original url:safari-extension://2CB9D967-22BA-44F3-B604-7261CE7D0D1F/aafefbf/suspended.html?title=Apple&favicon=https://www.apple.com/favicon.ico&url=https://www.apple.com/and this is the url after closing and launching Safari TP 104:safari-extension://6DCE5D9E-209A-44F1-8090-3BB36CD27184/86bca88/suspended.htmlThank you for your attention

Thank you for your reply. Ideally, the favicon would be dynamic, ie. as on a normal web page. If no favicon is specified it could default to the extension's icon.

Wish I saw your message before, I filled a TSI meanwhile! 😐It's a simple page showing the original tab's URL, title and screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8c7pnfncixlvhw/Screenshot%202020-03-03%20at%2016.00.14.png?dl=0Not related to this issue, but I guess it's also not possible to set the favicon of a safari-extension:// page, right?

Safari App extensions are disabled by default when installed, you need to ask the user to enable it
