Hey,

Is it allowed to inject an HTML item above a web page on iOS using Safari Web Extension?
If yes what amount of screen space can we allocate to the UI?

Example:

Yes - your extension's JavaScript can add content anywhere on the page. However, the best way to do that depends on which page is being loaded, and that can be tricky.
It depends on the device (different devices have different widths, the device could be rotated, if it was an iPad, it could be in multitasking mode). You should use responsive design to design different UIs based on the width of the current page.
