Safari app extensions have received significant updates, as presented in the "What’s new in device management" session at WWDC 2024. Here are the key points:
- Management Across Devices: Safari extensions can now be managed on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with a new Safari extension configuration.
- Control Over Extensions: IT administrators can define which extensions are allowed, giving users the ability to turn them on or off. They can also control whether an extension is always on or always off.
- Website Access Configuration: Administrators can configure extension website access by domain and subdomain.
- Compatibility with Private Browsing: All these management features work with Safari's private browsing mode.
- Visual Indication: Safari provides users with a visual indication of which extensions are managed.
For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in device management (11:06).
