Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with my Safari extension on iOS 18. When trying to access images using browser.runtime.getURL(), it doesn't work as expected. The same code works on iOS 17 and earlier versions. Here's my manifest file and code snippet.
"web_accessible_resources": [
{
"resources": [
"html/*.html",
"images/*.png",
"images/*.gif",
"images/*.svg",
"json/*.json",
"fonts/*.ttf",
"css/*.css"
],
"matches": [
"<all_urls>"
]
},
"images/fs_loading.svg",
"images/status_protected.svg",
"images/safe_check_icon.svg"
]
`var status_ok_svg = browser.runtime.getURL("images/status_protected.svg");`
Note: Image all are added in Images folder only

I was able to obtain the URL in iOS 17+ and lower versions by using the browser.tabs.getSelected method in background.js, and it was successful.
I upgraded to iOS 18 and now this function is returning 'Undefined'. As a result, the Safari Extension feature is broken.
Is this browser.tabs.getSelected no longer available or deprecated as of iOS 18?
As an alternative, browser.tabs.query functions. is a useful substitute for that.
