For a Mac Safari web extension, how to actually implement IAP?
I want to implement in-app purchases for my Mac Safari web extension. I can think of two ways: Draw the payment UI in an extension web page, and send a message to the native extension app to call StoreKit code. Open the container app from an extension web page, where the app draws the payment UI. I couldn't make #1 work with either StoreKit 2, which is async, and context.completeRequest(returningItems:) doesn't want to be called in a Task, saying context is not sendable) or StoreKit 1, where calling context.completeRequest(returningItems:) in paymentQueue(_:updatedTransactions:) for some reason doesn't return a response to the extension's web page. I couldn't make #2 work because I couldn't find a way to open the container app from the web extension. I registered a custom URL for my container app, but context.open that url does nothing. Web extensions that use IAP with #2 are available on the Mac app store, so it must be possible, could anyone shed some light on how to open the container app and pass the purchased info to the extension web page even if the container app is not open? Thanks in advance.

Do iOS Safari ServiceWorkers get shut down due to thermal state?
Hi! I'm working on an iOS Safari extension that has a ServiceWorker. Lately we've noticed that this ServiceWorker seems to get killed seemingly at random, and there are no logs or crash reports to tell us what happened. I'm hypothesizing that iOS might be shutting down Safari ServiceWorkers when the ProcessInfo.thermalState approaches .serious. I have circumstantial evidence that our ServiceWorker tends to get killed more often at higher levels of thermalState but can't yet say conclusively that this is the case. I can't find any direct evidence of this on internet searches either. Is anyone able to shed light onto this topic? The specific symptoms are: ServiceWorker stops, and the menu entry for its console window no longer appears on macOS Safari. No crash logs via Xcode or Sentry, and no Console messages as far as we could tell (caveat: MobileSafari generates a LOT of messages! We might have missed it.) If attached via debugger, the native part of our extension just disappears and the debugger loses connection with no error message. ServiceWorker no longer works for the lifetime of the Safari process. Sometimes, when we kill Safari and restart, we can get the ServiceWorker back. This usually requires toggling our extension's "enabled" state in system settings. In some cases, even killing/relaunching Safari and toggling the system setting doesn't bring our ServiceWorker back. I'm hypothesizing right now that this happens when the thermal state is high. I've tried simulating a serious/critical thermal state in the Xcode Devices window, but couldn't repro the ServiceWorker problem. I don't know if that setting affects the whole system, though, or just our own apps. Help appreciated! Yuna
