Extension background requests doesn't work

glmn

We have an issue with extension background requests on iOS in versions since 1.3.27 (4) .

We've tested all latest versions, so it doesn't work in all, except 1.3.27 (1) (and previous).
In 1.3.27 (1) it works as expected

Same issue

Hi, do you have an extension we can easily use to take a look at this?

In previous versions, this extension worked fine for sending translation requests to ai, but now sending requests to the url results in frequent errors

@Michal @dino @RoxyRoxyRoxy hello , we have same issue. i saw that you added this problem as Next Release. When will this process be completed and resolved? If it will take a long time, we will revise our extension. If it will be short, we will wait for you.

lordisback We recently pushed a fix for this on TestFlight (1.3.28 - 1) along with some other critical regressions, so as soon we will get confirmation from a few users, we will plan a hotfix release on AppStore for the same.

As we pushed fix on TestFlight, it's marked as Next Release, and as soon it will be released for all on AppStore, it will be marked as Done.

The current version is TF 1.3.28 (1), after my testing, the extension still can't send a request to the url, I tried two similar extensions at the same time to test this issue, and both got errors

dino

fish thanks for testing that, we will try another fix and will fix new update soon.

dino

fish can you please test that again?

dino 1.3.28 (3) Doesn't work... =(

dino The current version TF 1.3.28 (3) is behaving strangely. My daily-use extension Kiss Translate can now send requests to URLs normally. To ensure rigorous results, I simultaneously tested two other similar extensions—one worked normally, while the other malfunctioned. That is to say, under version TF 1.3.28 (3), even after trying three similar extensions, one still fails to send requests to URLs properly

dino

@fish can you please share extension info which is still failing for you with steps to reproduce (screenshots or recorded videos will be helpful), as the root cause of broken extensions can be different, and can only be investigated if you will share complete details and steps for each individual extension.

I simultaneously showed you Edge and Orion using the same extension to request webpage translations (the URL interfaces for the requests are also the same), and you can see that Orion encountered an error when making the URL request.

this is the extension used for testing.

fish can you please try with new build we have pushed on TF 1.3.28(4)?

@dino How to get access to TestFlight?

dino I'm very sorry, it's still showing the "Unknown error" message. Please also have others help test this issue to get more feedback

skoniks

dino i am extension developer, where should i write to get access for testflight?

dino

fish it's strange, that we are unable to reproduce that issue. Can you share steps to reproduce, which works every time, so we can try that. Also, if there's any specific config we will need to do in the extension options please share all details.
