Originally assigned to: @YouG-o on GitHub.

Hello!

I should preface saying that I am a newbie developper, but following the Mac OS build steps Xcode fails to build because of json references not found.
It fails at the steps for copying tsconfig.popup.json, tsconfig.content.json, and tsconfig.background.json

From what I gather, these have been removed in favour of the now unique tsconfig.json, so I am wondering if the Xcode project is up to date.

Environment:
MacOS 15.5
Xcode 16.4
Node.js 22.18
npm 10.9.3

Thank you for all the work done with this project!

Hi,
Yep, you got it. Those files are from an earlier version. We now use a single tsconfig file.
Unfortunately, I'm not the one who did the Safari port, so I don't really know what to update to make it work. I can't even test it since I don't have any macOS system.

@Seva41 I would really appreciate if you could have a look at this.

Hey! Just checked and you're right, the Xcode Project is outdated and i must update it. I will take a look and update it soon.

In the meantime, a workaround is possible:

Pull the changes from the repository.
Run sudo npm run prepare:safari .

Be sure to have the right privileges and execution permissions on safari-extension/safari_ext_data.sh. You should see the message Script completed successfully. after running the npm command.

Open the Xcode project, and delete the tsconfig.popup.json, tsconfig.content.json, tsconfig.background.json, manifest.firefox.json and manifest.chrome.json references from the sidebar (Right click > Delete > Remove Reference).
Clean the build (Cmd+Shift+K) and then build again by clicking the "Play" button. Youtube No Translation should be built and attached to Safari.
In Safari, open Settings and go to the Developer tab. At the bottom, check "Allow unsigned extensions".
Go to the Extensions tab. Enable Youtube No Translation. You're ready to go.

Helped me as the build was working but Safari wasn't able to see the extension.
Following steps 5 was the solution !

Great work !
