Other iOS Safari extension show an "Additional Permissions Requested" header with a Review button on pages that require extension access. On my own extension this is not showing. Content scripts aren't injected until a user finds the extension in the toolbar opened from the browser address bar, and gives permission there. How can I get this permission dialog to show for my own extension on pages where I want to inject content scripts?

Update:
@bramiam Not sure, but have you tried with a real device? In the simulator, my extension doesn't ask about additional permissions, but I tried it on the real device and it requested permissions...
From my manifest:
"content_scripts": [{
"run_at": "document_idle",
"all_frames": true,
"match_about_blank": true,
"js": [ "***.js" ],
"css": [ "***.css" ],
"matches": [ "<all_urls>" ]
},{
"js": [ "***.js" ],
"matches": [ "<all_urls>" ]
}],
"permissions": [
"tabs",
"cookies",
"storage",
"https://xxxxxxx.com",
"http://*/*",
"https://*/*"
],

Did anyone find a way to consistently trigger this prompt on websites with no permissions?
I’ve searched through tons of safari extensions in the AppStore and only found a few extensions that trigger this:
- Honey
- Grammarly
- RetailMeNot
- CardPointers
It seems like it is not documented at all here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/managing_safari_web_extension_permissions

Add a CommentI also would like to know how to trigger this prompt. I had installed Grammarly and right after that, it prompted me to grant permissions to 600+ hosts... How can I trigger a similar permissions "bar"?
