How to make safari extension

To create a Safari extension, you can follow these general steps:

1. Create a New Target: Start by creating a new target in Xcode. Navigate to the file menu and select "New Target." Choose the platform for your extension (macOS, iOS, or iPadOS).

2. Configure the Extension: Search for the appropriate extension template, such as the Core Spotlight delegate extension template if you're working with search functionalities. Configure the new target and add it to your project.

3. Activate and Debug: Activate the new extension and set up your debugging environment. You can use command-line utilities like mdutil to simulate requests and debug your extension.

4. Build and Test: Rebuild your app to include the new extension. Attach the process for debugging and ensure everything works as expected.

For more detailed steps and examples, you can refer to the session Support semantic search with Core Spotlight.

Additionally, Safari extensions can now be managed on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with a new Safari extension configuration. This allows you to define which extensions are allowed, control whether an extension is always on or off, and configure extension website access by domain and subdomain. This is particularly useful for IT admins managing a fleet of devices. For more information, check out the session What’s new in device management.
