@jeffbl I tried to convert the extension to safari. I had used the latest nightly build(as of Aug 7) for the same. The following were my observations:
Note: The following was my system versions when I tested this code. Safari : Version 15.6 Mac: 12.5 Xcode: Version 13.4.1
I believe the converting tool is sensitive to versioning issues, so a Mac below version 11.0 should not be used for converting the extension
@rohanakut Thanks - that is awesome that it builds and runs at all! As discussed at tech-arch, if possible to also try the tool to create an iOS version, that is even more useful, since the major gain would be to get IMAGE working on mobile devices.
@jeffbl I ran the extension on iOS. The extension builds successfully. However, on running it on an emulator I received the following error
I believe this error occurs because the extension takes up too much memory or is not optimized
I was not able to proceed further as the extension did not load up on the emulator
@jeffbl can this be closed?
Apple has a tool for converting a Chrome extension to work on Safari/iOS. It is not clear how well this works, or if our extension requires capabilities that are not supported.
Note that the current extension has to be refactored anyway, but hopefully we can get a first approximation of any potential issues with conversion to Apple platform by just trying to convert the existing extension...
