Convert Chrome Extension to Safari Extension in 15 Minutes

7 points by marcinem 5 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


It took us 15 minutes to convert our existing Chrome extension into Safari Web Extension.

Would be less, if we’d choose the Firefox one, as Mozilla doesn’t allow you to use the legacy Web API. But who knew?!

It takes more time to write the App Store listing than turn your existing plugin into brand new Safari Extension.

Psst… don’t forget to update your Bundle ID everywhere, it costed us a rejection from Apple’s review and a couple of hours of delay!

Here is the guide from Apple: <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/converting_a_web_extension_for_safari>

And here are the extensions if you are curious: <https://mailist.app>
