Extension for safari

[Anri-Lombard]

If you could somehow add an extension for safari it would be awesome!

[wong2]

Perhaps you can try: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/converting_a_web_extension_for_safari

[Anri-Lombard]

On it ;)

[Anri-Lombard]

Not sure why, but I don't have permissions to push a branch to this repo ?!

[wong2]

Yes, you need to fork this repo

[Anri-Lombard]

Just updating my Xcode, then I'll be able to convert the extension fully.

This issue relates to #109 just for reference.

[Anri-Lombard]

I built the extension and it works, but you need to be on the Apple Developer program to distribute it, which I am not.

Perhaps you can label the issue as "help wanted" or we can close it.

[Anri-Lombard]

I can push the build if it would help

[wong2]

So you just followed this guide https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/converting_a_web_extension_for_safari

and everything just works?

@Anri-Lombard I have tried what the Apple developer's page says about converting the extension to Safari, but I don't seem to make it work for Mac. I keep getting the same error of being unable to load chatGPT once the I make the search. I'm not sure if you changed some configurations inside Xcode. Here's the project created using the command: xcrun safari-web-extension-converter /path/to/extension: ChatGPT for Google.zip

This issue has been linked to a Canny post: Support Safari :tada:

The only difference is that I added the --copy-resources flag, after which it ran smoothly. Although, I can't test it out on my Mac since I'm not part of the developer program.

I have tried using that and I keep getting the same error, can you provide a .zip file with the Xcode project so I can test it out?

[Anri-Lombard]

ChatGPT for Google.zip

Sure, @Armandotrsg. Does this work for you?

[Armandotrsg]

ChatGPT for Google.zip

Sure, @Armandotrsg. Does this work for you?

I get the error when loading into safari that the service_worker script failed to load

Same problem here.

[Anri-Lombard]

Made some real progress on this today.

This is what I did and the results:

1. I took the zip file I shared earlier and opened it in Xcode. Then I pressed the run button top left.
2. It ran and gave this output, alongside opening the app on mac:
3. It opened in safari but was grey, so I activated it by going to the "Develop" tab and allowing unsigned extensions, which made it show on Safari:
4. It asked for permission to access the site and I gave it access:
5. The problem is that it does not display anything on the right, in fact, it just removes the information that was previously there and leaving the area blank:
6. I also do not allow toggling of the settings:

Any help with 5 and 6 will make massive progress!

[Anri-Lombard]

You were correct about the script failing, so that might be the major error:

Some additional info is provided by the inspection tools:

I made some progress today. It turns out the zip file https://github.com/wong2/chat-gpt-google-extension/issues/110#issuecomment-1363649293 is converted from the source code of this project, which is incorrect, you need to convert from the built files:

1. npm run build
2. xcrun safari-web-extension-converter build/chromium

Then I get these files: ChatGPT for Google.zip

Load it in safari as steps described by @Anri-Lombard, there's finally something shown

Although it's always this load failed error.

But the options page works normally:

I have been doing the same and I keep getting the same error, I believe it's a problem when communicating to the ChatGPT API, because after quickly reviewing the code in the ./src/content-script/ChatGPTQuery.tsx I can see that the problem should be around these part of the code: `if (error === 'UNAUTHORIZED' || error === 'CLOUDFLARE') { return (

Please login and pass Cloudflare check at{' '} chat.openai.com {isBraveBrowser() && retry > 0 && (
Still not working? Follow{' '} Brave Troubleshooting )}

)

} if (error) { return (

Failed to load response from ChatGPT:
{error}

)

}`

The error is neither "UNAUTHORIZED" nor "CLOUDFLARE" apparently

@Armandotrsg Check my comments above.

I made some progress today. It turns out the zip file #110 (comment) is converted from the source code of this project, which is incorrect, you need to convert from the built files:

I just spent my whole morning attempting to convert this to safari only to discover that the creator is stuck on the same part as me. Is there any updates?

[wong2]

@lukesmart1 Not yet. Unfortunately, Safari support is not my priority now.

[Perifractic]

+1 for Safari support 🙏

[BladesKnight]

+1 for Safari support please.

[josStorer]

@wong2 I created a safari build in my fork, which may help with this issue

I have tested it and it also supports Automated Build, you can check https://github.com/josStorer/chatGPT-search-engine-extension/commit/e9a6812ddd7c24f37300f8cd1034436ed74e9fa6 and https://github.com/josStorer/chatGPT-search-engine-extension/commit/01f8b64ca89e0d679ed1e35a775f8688dbf56732

In terms of setting the extension version number, my approach may be a bit hacky and needs some improvement

[wong2]

@josStorer Thanks, but I think the installation of Safari extension is beyond the capability of most users.

[berot3]

Just wanted to comment that I am looking for exactly this browser extension but wanted to have this on iPhone. Now afaik the only browser extensions are those for safari. I think it would be really awesome if you guys could make this possible! 👍🏻 Thanks for you work!
