Hi,

I have built a Safari App Extension for Mac. However, I want to remove the toolbar item from the extension. I have tried the following approach:

Remove SFSafariToolbarItem dictionary from Info.plist
Remove the toolbar icon pdf from the project
Remove validateToolbarItem and popoverViewController from the extension handler.

This does not remove the toolbar item. Instead I have a toolbar item that shows my App Icon just greyed out. On clicking that item, it show an option to "Manage Extension".

What should I do to remove the toolbar item from my extension?

Safari App Extensions will always show a toolbar item by default. This allows your user to grant per-website access as they browse the web and acts as an indicator if the extension has access to the current website. If a user doesn't want the toolbar item, they can remove it from the toolbar themselves.
