Updating a Safari Extension?

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:

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/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>
            <ke开发者_如何学Goy>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.

Team Identifier should be Developer Identifier

The Developer Identifier is taken from the string at the top of the Extension Builder window, Safari Developer: (DEVELOPER_IDENTIFIER) EMAIL

Similar issue. Safari sees the update (I have set updates to manual) but clicking the install button when an update is detected does nothing. If I then check the "Install Updates Automatically" the update process begins and completes but the new version is not installed. I can see the traffic to the webserver so I know a request has been made.

EDIT: Fixed! Permissions were wrong on the web directory where the extension was stored, fixed this and it installed manually and automatically. Everytime I rebuild the extension and save to my web serving folder I have to set the permissions.

2nd Edit: If you want to look at an existing extension, download it or get it from your Safari extensions folder then change the .safariextz to .xar then open/extract with Pacifist to view the code and if you want add it to the Extension Builder app.

I had the same problem, the PLIST file was like the one above and here is how I resolved my problem:

• Had an incorrect Developer Identifier (had a 5 instead of a Z). Duh!

• Permissions, which are rest every time you update the file:

  chmod 0444 EXTENSIONNAME.safariextz

Just had the same problem, and permissions were the issue for me, too. The .safariextz file downloaded fine via a direct link on my homepage, but I had to set its permissions to a+x on the server before Safari would download it as an automatic update.
