How to get the state(enabled/disabled) of safari content blocker app extension from safari toolbar item app extension?

290 views Asked by At

I am developing the mac app with Safari Content Blocker and Safari Toolbar Item extensions.

I am able to get the state of Content Blocker extension (enabled/disabled) in Safari from the mac app (Containing App), and able to display the warning inside the mac app that Content Blocker is disabled.

But is there any way that I can get the Content Blocker extension's state (enabled/disabled) from the Safari Toolbar Item extension?

Here is the code that executes when the popover is visible when a user clicks on Safari Toolbar Item.

class SafariExtensionViewController: SFSafariExtensionViewController {

    // This function is called from the 
    // SafariExtensionHandler > popoverWillShow(in window: SFSafariWindow)        
    func onPopoverVisible() {

        SFContentBlockerManager.getStateOfContentBlocker(withIdentifier: "com.xyz.macapp.contentblocker") { (state, error) in
            guard let state = state else {
                 // handle the error
                 return
            }
            if state.isEnabled {
                // display toolbar items and hide warning message
            } else {
                // display warning message and hide toolbar items
            }
        }
    }
}

When above code executes, state.isEnabled is always false.

Is it possible to get the state of one extension from another? If yes, how?. If no, is there any way to handle this scenario?
