Hi!

We're currently building a web extension with iOS as a primary target. Since haptics on iOS are really nice, we wanted to make use of it to give the experience a special feel on iPhone.

However, haptics don't seem to work when called from SafariWebExtensionHandler... maybe because the messaging layer between the web extension and the native code is in the background (is it?), and haptics don't work in apps that are in the background.

Anyway, is there any way we can make haptics work regardless?

What are you trying to use haptics for?

If you could submit some feedback to https://feedbackassistant.apple.com and include a sample project/use case for this, that would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Same question here! Why cannot access core haptics too within safari extension development? In our WIP extension we are creating like the iOS callout but with other information and with determinate links… also with Force Touch we’re still able to give feedback about the second layer.
