Safari Extensions opens App Store...

[Angrinkin]

Hey all! I've searched around and haven't seen this reported yet.

If you click on "Safari Extensions..." in the Safari menu, it opens the App Store. Looks like Apple might be migrating extensions soon.

This was announced a while ago.

Thanks @shoes222, I can't recall where I first heard or read it – there's no mention at https://developer.apple.com/safari/extensions/ – but it's in the transcript at Extending your App with Safari App Extensions - WWDC 2016 - Videos - Apple Developer:

They're bundled with the Mac app and can be distributed through the App Store. That new way is Safari app extensions.
