I've just developed a brand new Safari App Extension. I do not have any mac os app to share through the mac app store, only my extension THAT IS my product.

It seems (from that Apple page) that I must create a dummy mac os app to share my extension through mac app store. Am I right ?

Thank you !

Finally I managed to distribute my Safari Extension through the Mac App Store. The thing you have to keep in mind is the fact that you have to build a minimal single-window macos app which explain (like a tutorial) how to activate your extension in Safari.

What a mess ...

Unfortunately, you seem to be correct. I'm in the same situation... I don't even want to sell or distribute the extension but just use it for myself.

    If you do not want to distribute the extension, you can simply make it from Xcode (Product --> Archive. Click on 'Distribute App' button and chose 'Development' method). This will export the extension in a macOS app format. Then, you just have to run it and your extension will appear in Safari. – godo57 Jan 03 '19 at 15:08
