Safari extension broken on iOS 17.5

dino

We have pushed new version 2.2.5 (34) on TestFlight. Please give that a try and let us know if that fixes your issues.

We have updated setup instructions to avoid confusions for new permission requirements
We have fixed backward compatibility (iOS 15 & 16), as the new implementation broken support for older iOS
Fixed an issue where redirect rules were not updating when updating private session link (rarely happens, but was still a potential issue)

TestFlight invite link, if you don't have access to that - https://testflight.apple.com/join/nx6Gvf4h

We are also working to fix sign-in page issue on server side to completely avoid that, we can hope for that fix tomorrow. But still the extension should work without any issue if configured properly by following instructions.

Attaching visual instructions here too for help.

dino The TestFlight build works for me! Thank you! 😊

Neagrammata

dino Thank you. This seems to have fixed it. There are the occasional glitches and the login page displaying for e very short moment, but mostly it works as intended.

I uninstalled and installed again from testflight, did the setup from scratch, but it still doesn’t work for me

dino

eskidost please try selecting different search engine in Safari settings and try if that helps

Vlad

eskidost Can you describe what happens and show a video please?

ben_hr

dino I've tried the most recent TestFlight release (thanks for your quick work on this) and changed the preferred search engine in iOS settings, as well as other suggestions in this thread, but the issue is persisting. I appreciate your efforts to resolve this - it must be frustrating for you!

ben_hr test flight didn’t initially work for me either but changing from DuckDuckGo to ecosia and then trying again did work

dino

ben_hr @kickdaddy @eskidost have you followed all new setup instructions? also try selecting All Search Engines in extension popup please and then retry.

kickdaddy

kickdaddy sigh never mind worked a couple times and has now reverted to the old broken behavior

eskidost

dino I tried doing that and it didn't work. I sent you screenshots in discord already but wanted to acknowledge your mention here.

When clicking on a link in an email to open a webpage the result is a search query of the redirect rather than going to the site. This is happening from every email with links. This is from the Gmail app on an iPhone on iOS 17.5.1 running the latest Kagi extension.

When you click a link it should go to the direct destination of the link, not a search query result (that also does not have the page listed).

This is fixed in the latest version of Safari extension, you can install it here https://testflight.apple.com/join/nx6Gvf4h

Vlad FWIW the Kagi extension was working on my iPad until this morning, when it started forcing me to log in every time I searched despite already being logged in (if I went directly to kagi.com I was able to make searches, but if I tried searching directly from the browser URL bar, I would get sent to a log-in page where I was unable to successfully log in). I just downloaded the test flight beta and that appears to have fixed the issue on my iPad.

System version: 17.4.1
Device type: iPad Pro 5 12.9"

dino hi, I just installed 2.2.5 and I’m going to test it, but even when I upgraded to 2.2.4 it already improved things quite a bit.

kickdaddy

dino this new version is working for me - thanks !

Neagrammata

dino Thank you very much! I haven't had any issues with the new version. Search works and the login window is not showing intermittently anymore.

dino

andreagrandi 2.2.4 was implemented with use of DNR API which is quite fast and stable then the other solution, but unfortunately some users had issue where redirection completely stopped working, so for now we needed to find a middle way to have support for everyone. But we will keep working on that to make it more and more perfect in future.

andreagrandi

dino something different I just noticed is that when I searched for something, I was able to see the results on DDG for at least half second, before being redirected to Kagi. But I haven’t been able to reproduce it again.

sefidel

dino I'm still occasionally getting sent to Ecosia (my "engine to redirect"), but it does happen less frequently now.

andreagrandi

dino another update: seeing DuckDuckGo results first (the page sometimes remains for over 1-2 seconds), before loading Kagi, keeps happening and with more frequency. I still get the results I want in the end, but that redirect adds slowness to the search and it’s very annoying to see
