Safari Xcode Module

A WXT module that automatically converts Safari extensions to Xcode projects and configures related settings after the build is complete.

Features

• Automatically runs xcrun safari-web-extension-converter to convert the extension to an Xcode project
• Updates Xcode project configuration (version number, app category, development team, etc.)
• Updates all Info.plist files

Usage

1. Enable the module in wxt.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'wxt'

export default defineConfig({
  modules: ['wxt-module-safari-xcode'],
  safariXcode: {
    projectName: 'Your Project Name',
    appCategory: 'public.app-category.productivity',
    bundleIdentifier: 'com.example.your-extension',
    developmentTeam: 'ABC1234567',
  },
  // ... other configurations
})

2. Build Safari Extension

pnpm wxt build -b safari

The module will automatically convert the extension to an Xcode project after the build completes.

Configuration Options

| Option | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------ | -------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | projectName | string | ❌ | Safari project name. Defaults to manifest.name if not provided | | appCategory | string | ✅ | App category, e.g., 'public.app-category.productivity' | | bundleIdentifier | string | ✅ | Bundle identifier, e.g., 'com.example.app' | | developmentTeam | string | ❌ | Apple Developer Team ID, e.g., 'ABC1234567'. If not provided, must be set manually in Xcode |

How It Works

This module uses WXT's build:done hook to perform the following steps after the build completes:

1. Run xcrun safari-web-extension-converter to convert the extension to a Safari Xcode project
2. Read the version number from package.json
3. Update the Xcode project configuration file (.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj)
   • Set MARKETING_VERSION to the version from package.json
   • Set CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION to numeric version (major _ 10000 + minor _ 100 + patch)
   • Configure app category
   • Configure development team (if provided)
4. Update all Info.plist files and add CFBundleVersion

Notes

• This module only executes when building for Safari browser (wxt build -b safari)
• Requires macOS and Xcode Command Line Tools
• If you want to read configuration from environment variables, ensure .env.local is added to .gitignore

Examples

Complete Configuration Example
