Created attachment 471880 [details] Sample Xcode project demonstrating the bug On iOS 17.5.1 and iOS 18 beta 3, the extension API browser action onClicked works only once per launch of Safari. This bug does not occur on macOS. The attached sample Xcode project is a Safari extension that simply opens a new tab with https://example.org every time you click the extension toolbar icon. Steps to reproduce: 1) Build and run the OnClickBug extension on iOS 2) Enable the OnClickBug extension 3) Open https://webkit.org in Safari 4) Open the Manage Extensions menu in Safari 5) Click OnClickBug 6) Close the new tab 7) Open the Manage Extensions menu again 8) Click OnClickBug again This bug totally breaks my Safari extension Homecoming for Mastodon in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/homecoming-for-mastodon/id1666139593 The sample project is Manifest V2, while Homecoming is Manifest V3, so they each use the slightly different browser action API, but it makes no difference. The bug affects both MV2 and MV3.
