Abstract:
According to one embodiment, in response to an inquiry received from a first application for an extension service associated with a first of a plurality of extension points of an operating system, a list of one or more extensions is identified that have been registered for the first extension point with the operating system, where the first application is executed within a first sandboxed environment. The identified list of extensions is displayed to prompt a user to select one of the extensions to be associated with the first application. In response to a selection of one of the extensions, the selected extension is launched in a second sandboxed environment. The selected extension and the second application were packaged in an application bundle, and when the application bundle was installed, the selected extension and the second application appeared in a registry of the operating system as separate applications.
Abstract:
A host application executing on a client device includes a content processing extension that extends its functionality to process content items to a requesting host application executing on a client device. The content processing extension is an executable file that includes data conversion code and application code. The data conversion code, when executed in requesting host application, identifies content items provided by the requesting host application and formats the identified content items to be received by the content processing extension. The application code is native code executable by the host application associated with the content processing extension. The application code processes the results from execution of the data conversion and the identified content items in accordance with one or more functions of the host application, and returns the processed content items to the requesting host application via the content processing extension.
Abstract:
An electronic device displays a media capture user interface that includes a media capture preview of objects in a field of view of the camera. While displaying the media capture user interface, the electronic device scans the field of view of the camera for data encoded in an optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera includes data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets respective notification criteria, the electronic device displays a notification that indicates that the camera application has detected data encoded in the optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera does not include data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets the respective notification criteria, the electronic device maintains display of the media capture user interface of the camera application without displaying the notification.
