Recently, I came across this doc in developer documentation which explains about converting an existing App Extension to a Web Extension ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/converting_a_safari_app_extension_to_a_safari_web_extension ). This is a welcome feature that will help migrating users from App Extension to Web Extension seamlessly. However, what was not clear from that document was the behavior of Permissions Popup post migration/conversion.
In the new Web Extensions, if a Content Scripts is injected into any web site, there's a permission popup that appears asking the users whether that should be allowed. For the App Extension, such a popup did not exist and permissions to inject Content Scripts were already granted at install time. For a Web Extension that is installed as a result of this migration from App Extension, will this permission popup still be shown or will it be implicitly granted the same permission as the App Extension? Can someone clarify?
