Status of Browser Extension

[asparamancer]

Are we able to see the status of the browser extension via a call?

Hey @asparamancer, what do you mean by "the status" of a browser extension?

[asparamancer]

Hi @andrew-levy, thanks for the speedy reply. At a basic level if the extension is toggled on or off, and ideally what the settings are (eg what domains they've enabled it for).

I've found https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/sfsafariextensionstate and was going to create a bridging module but it appears this is macOS specific?

Does your module expose a boolean true/false anywhere?

[andrew-levy]

@asparamancer Oh I see. Hmmm that's weird that it says only macOS, I will look into if there's a way to do this on iOS. As of right now there's no way to check the status of the extension in this library, but would welcome the contribution if it's even possible!

Thanks, it doesn’t say it’s macOS only but whenever I try and import it to an iOS protect it doesn’t find the extension handler in scope. Plus there’s another project on Grep that does a switch to check if it’s iOS or macOS before invoking the method. I’m not a Swift person so it could be be just doing something wrong. But yep sure if I figure out a way I’ll submit a PR
