Updating a Safari Extension?
- by Ricky Romero
Hi there,
I'm writing a simple Safari Extension, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the update mechanism working. Apple's documentation here is delightfully vague:
http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/Tools/Conceptual/SafariExtensionGuide/UpdatingExtensions/UpdatingExtensions.html
And here's my manifest, based on that documentation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Extension Updates</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>net.rickyromero.safari.shutup</string>
<key>Team Identifier</key>
<string>TMM5P68287</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.0</string>
<key>URL</key>
<string>http://rickyromero.net/misc/SafariExtensions/ShutUp.safariextz</string>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
I don't know where to get "YourCertifcateID," for example. And when I increment the values for CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString, it doesn't trigger an update. I know Safari is hitting my manifest though, because I'm watching HTTP traffic.
Thoroughly stumped. Any ideas, guys?
