You’re talking about MacOS and not iOS? As far I know, the only time Safari or any other app on iOS calls an extension is when the user chooses to “share” with that extension

Yeah, I think this API is only available on macOS. On iOS this would require keeping the extension alive in the background, which Apple seems largely opposed to allowing.
