Donate and Smile for Safari

Donate and Smile is a Safari extension that automatically redirects to AmazonSmile.

It is a Safari app extension and is not built on the legacy framework.

Development

Xcode on a Mac is required for development.

Safari doesn't seem to reliably pick up on changes to the extension in development. As a workaround, clean the build folder every time you make a change that affects the Safari part of the extension.

Testing

There doesn't seem to be a way to write a test suite for a Safari extension, so tests must be done manually. Here are cases to try:

• Amazon homepage
  • logged in: user should land on the Smile version of the homepage
  • not logged in: user should land on the Smile version of the log in page
• Amazon Germany homepage
  • same expected results as the U.S. page
• Amazon U.K. homepage
  • same expected results as the U.S. page
• Amazon Canada homepage
  • no redirect at all should occur
• Amazon Music
  • logged in: user should land on the non-Smile page
  • not logged in: user should land on the non-Smile page
• details page for a product
  • logged in: user should be land on the Smile version of the page
  • not logged in: user should land on the non-Smile page but with a Smile banner near the top
• Go to a non-Amazon page, then an Amazon page, and make sure back and forward as expected

Publishing

• Update the version and build number as appropriate
  • "Targets > General > Identity"
  • Make sure to do it for both the app and the extension
  • The version shoudl roughly follow semver
