Extension Files
When using this plugin, you get to manage your extension files outside of the ios
folder. Here's a breakdown of the necessary files:
MyApp/
├── app/
├── app.json
├── MyExtension/ # <-- the folder name you provided in the config
│ ├── src/
│ ├── assets/
│ ├── Info.plist
| ├── manifest.json
│ └── SafariExtensionHandler.swift
├── node_modules/
├── package.json
└── ...
src/
This folder contains all of your extension resource files. You can add, remove or modify any of these files to customize your extension. These files are linked closely to the manifest.json
file, where many of the resources are referenced. Its very important that you don't change the name of this folder. This folder is required.
assets/
This folder contains all of your extension assets. If you want to use local assets that your app is using, copy your app's assets
folder and paste it into here. So the end result should be assets/assets/...
. Not ideal, I know, but it's necessary. Its very important that you don't change the name of this folder. This folder is required.
manifest.json
This file contains further configuration for your extension including the name, description, content scripts, entry point, permissions, etc. This file is required.
Info.plist
This file contains the configuration for your extension. If not included, this file will be generated for you during the prebuild step.
SafariExtensionHandler.swift
This file contains the native code required to run your extension. You likely won't need to modify this file. If not included, this file will be generated for you during the prebuild step.
{ExtensionName}.entitlements
This file contains the entitlements for your extension. This plugin sets up the App Groups entitlement by default so that you can message between the app and the extension. If not included, this file will be generated for you during the prebuild step.
