Unable to activate Safari extensions

[jannis-baum]

This is weird and I can't reproduce it right now:

When I was trying to activate any Safari extension, I got a popup saying "Safari detected an app or service that interfered with clicking." and that I can't turn on the extension because of it. It linked to this deprecated support document from Apple.

Once I quit Wooshy it worked again. Then I reopened Wooshy and now I no longer have the issue (maybe reboot will bring it back up? don't have time to test right now). Feel free to close if you don't think it's worth investigating!

hmm. i have the message yes, but it just asks for your password/Touch ID:

what version of macOS and Safari are you on?

Interesting! I tried clicking it with the mouse (shame on me) but it didn't give me the option to put in a password.

I'm on macOS 13.0.1 & Safari 16.1 with my Macbook's lid closed (i.e. Touch ID disabled). But can't reproduce the issue right now.

you're right. lid closed it doesn't ask for the password. that's dumb.

tested with Shortcat and same issue. Homerow SOMETIMES fails and sometimes doesn't... so i guess there may be a way to make it work? not gonna be a priority tho.

Yes, I just figured out the same thing as well... I guess this is more of an issue for Apple then?😂 Feel free to close or decide what to do with it

i'll report to Apple but there may be something to be done on Ws's side. will check.
