Permissions are incredibly unintuitive. You have to keep clicking the toolbar icon to see if there's a new permission to allow. There's no alert, no notification, users just have to stumble upon it. It took me a while to figure out how to get things working, and I made it! No one else is going to have the same patience. In my case I'm making background xhr calls to pull content from third parties.
You can either allow permission for the day, always allow for just that site.. or allow it to run on every site on the internet. Please just automatically open the toolbar icon when a new permission is requested, and have an option to "always allow on requested sites" we explicitly list the sites we need access to in the manifest, if we only list 2 websites, why are you asking users to grant permission to every website they ever visit?

Does Safari 14 support onAdded and onRemoved? I'm having no luck getting these to trigger from background.js.
browser.permissions.onAdded.addListener(function(permissions){
console.dir('permissions added');
});
browser.permissions.onRemoved.addListener(function(permissions){
console.dir('permissions removed');
});
How do you recommend refreshing the page when permissions change? Constant polling?
People trying to install our safari extension are seeing "safari detected an app or service that interfered with clicking. To protect your privacy and security, this extension was not turned on." What triggers this?
In iOS 16 If you create a WKWebView instance in the app delegate and try to load something into it, it will crash. If I add the webview to the main viewcontroller but hide it off-screen, everything works fine. The problem is this webview should be headless and unattached because I'm only using it to scrape data and not displaying anything. Why waste the ram? iOS 16 betas did not have this issue.
