Reply to Safari App Extension – conflicting Bundle Identifier
You said that this bug was "fixed in macOS 13 Ventura", but i'm currently on macOS Ventura now and experience this bug. No, that's not what I said. I said, "One notorious bug was the case of the disappearing Safari extensions, introduced in macOS 11 Big Sur and finally fixed in macOS 13 Ventura. In this blog post, I'll discuss a current bug [emphasis added] involving multiple versions of the same app installed on one Mac."

Reply to Promo code generation hanging
I don't think I'm experiencing the problem anymore, but it appears that multiple promo codes were generated inadvertently. I've filed FB22253261 with more information if you want to look.

Reply to Safari Web Extension not receiving App Groups data from iOS app
There is no connection between native UserDefaults and JavaScript browser storage. It appears that you're writing to one and expecting to read it in the other, but this is a misunderstanding. Each API is self-contained.

Reply to Unable to Add Non-Standard Headers Using Declarative Net Request Rule (DNR) in Safari
I filed a WebKit bug about this here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290922 I've had several users of my extension request custom headers, though I'm not sure which headers exactly.

Reply to Safari App Extension – conflicting Bundle Identifier
I would use Generate Info.plist File in your build settings. And you can build-configuration-specific values for Product Bundle Identifier. Unregistering the app is a temporary solution, but the problem will likely recur.

Reply to Safari App Extension – conflicting Bundle Identifier
Launch Services gets confused. See my blog post, especially the appendix about Safari extensions: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2024/12/2.html It's really best to use a different bundle identifier during development. I append ".debug" to mine.

Reply to Safari Extension doesn't load after running Product > Archive
This is likely a Launch Services issue. See my blog post and the appendix: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2024/12/2.html See also FB16144327 - Xcode clean of a Safari extension app causes the extension to disappear from Safari Settings https://github.com/lapcat/SafariExtensions/issues/54

Reply to Stuck with "In Review" app review status for 3 weeks
Is it a normal/usual/expected practice that a Mac App Store submission of a Safari extension takes 3 weeks to review? No, never. Request an expedited review.

Reply to Safari DNR Redirect Issue When Using Address Bar for Default Search Engine Queries
I'm actually seeing the opposite results: your sample extension works for me in Safari Technology Preview 202 but does not work in Safari 17.6.

Reply to Discrepancies for payment Period 9 (June 2-29) August 1st payment
I've also experienced this issue. As mentioned, there appears to be a bug in App Store Connect Trends where unit sales are double counted starting June 21. I wrote a blog post: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2024/8/2.html

Reply to Safari iOS extension issues. Background script stops working
Why does your background listener return true after calling sendResponse? Returning true is for async responses that are called later.

Reply to Several tags are inaccessible on the forum
No, it's not just you. There are a lot of tags missing. For example, https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/safari-extensions and its corresponding RSS feed are missing.
