Hello,
I am trying to package and distribute a Safari Web Extension using the web-based Safari Web Extension Packager in App Store Connect.
My Apple Developer Program membership is active, and I have already completed the following:
Created an explicit Bundle ID. Created an iOS app record in App Store Connect named Kuzey SGK. The app is currently in Prepare for Submission status. I can access the app's Xcode Cloud tab. I can also access Users and Access > Xcode Cloud.
According to Apple's documentation:
“After creating an app record, navigate to the Xcode Cloud tab. Under Safari Web Extension Packager, click Upload.”
However, there is no “Safari Web Extension Packager” section at all under the Xcode Cloud tab for my app. The page only displays the standard Xcode Cloud information and “Get started in Xcode.”
I am using App Store Connect from Windows in a web browser. My understanding from Apple's Safari Web Extension documentation is that the web-based packager should allow packaging an existing web extension without requiring a Mac or Xcode.
I have not configured a standard Xcode Cloud workflow or connected a source repository, because the Safari Web Extension Packager documentation does not list those steps as prerequisites.
Apple Developer Program Support reviewed my request and referred me to the Developer Forums because this appears to be a technical issue. My support case number is 102956602442.
Could someone please clarify:
Is there an additional step required to enable the Safari Web Extension Packager for a newly created developer account or app? Is a standard Xcode Cloud workflow required before the Packager becomes visible? Is the Packager currently available to all Apple Developer Program members?
Thank you.
