iOS 15 Support

[sixiansheng]

这个系统上可以运行扩展，因为他是全平台的，所以有新的开发计划吗？各位小伙伴

[derjanb]

I am reviewing this possibility.

However, I am still a little unsure whether there will be any fundamental changes to iOS Safari extensions due to the changes because of Manifest v3 and the newly founded WebExtensions Community Group.

After the deprecation of the legacy Safari Extensions, I already had to completely rewrite the Safari Support (Safari App Extensions), and will now have to do it again for the new Safari Extensions API (#1031).

[derjanb]

First investigation showed that no persistent background page can be used at iOS. This means I have to rework Tampermonkey to support this first. This rework is also required for Manifest v3 support.

Just letting you know that extensions are officially available now, meaning if iOS support is ready in the near future, you will be able to release it

You can upload to the app store and charge a fee to offset the cost of your account.

I already emailed you regarding this topic but I would be more than willing to cover the dev license fee for you @derjanb

[derjanb]

I already do have an Apple developer account. Thanks. The problem is that a lot of rework is necessary to support a non-persistent background page. See #1258 (comment)

It would be awesome, any chances that iOS extension will become available this year?

[derjanb]

iOS extension will become available this year?

I tend to say yes. ☺

This is for MacOS, not iOS.

It's also for iOS. I installed it on my iphone last night

The latest version has iOS/iPadOS support, in addition to macOS

Have there been any updates regarding iOS? @derjanb
I would love to have Tampermonkey on my mobile - all of these 3rd party alternatives suck.

[derjanb]

Kind of. 😇
All preparations for Manifest v3 are going to help to create a real Safari Web Extension that will also run at iOS.

[lhliddal]

How long do you believe it is until the extension is ready? And will you sell licenses or make it freely available?
Kind regards

Any news?

[Xaositek]

Was this ever reconsidered or just allow UserScripts to take over the mobile market?

[derjanb]

This is one of my next steps. I needed to convert Tampermonkey to a non-persistent first, which was done for Firefox Android now and I already bought an IPad to be able to develop and test Tampermonkey for iOS.

[Seele0oO]

Userscript does not seem to provide complete support, and some scripts such as bilibili evo do not run properly.
As reference commit, it does not provide full support.
Thanks again derjanb.

Hello, @derjanb! Any news on this?
Checking out this topic for two years and haven't lost hope of seeing a full-featured (or at least half-featured) Tampermonkey for iOS.

Thank you for your work, by the way. I supported you with a small amount recently ;)

The new Tampermonkey (web) extension is working fine on macOS. I now have to check iOS...

[alexchexes]

... I now have to check iOS...

@derjanb Any update on this, pleeeeease? 🥺

I'm afraid there's little hope. As you know, all browsers are now pushing for the new V3 extension protocol. I doubt the extensions we've written have been released yet. They've probably been stillborn.😨

[aidenlx]

But mv3 version has already been published to chrome web store for 3 months since 5.2.0 and mv2 is now considered legacy.

Any updates? It was unpinned because it's close to release, right? 🥲

[derjanb]

Unpinned, because I needed to pin another frequently asked question, but...

[alexchexes]

OH. MY. HOLY. MOLY. GUACAMOLE. GOSH.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING. Tampermonkey is coming to iOS, fellas!! Uck yeah!!

[Xaositek]

Well this is an exciting development! TestFlight available yet?
