I'm not sure if this is expected behavior but webbrowser.open returns false and doesn't open the URL in the app extension (via console and via script).

https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/1988/launching-pythonista-from-1-6b-app-extension may be relevant. have you tried a webview?

Hmmmm - that's odd. Workflow is able to open a URL from its app extension.

Possibly because it has a Today widget?

I am wondering if this might be possible via objc_util ( though since the extension is still broken on 32 bit devices I cannot test it), since the enforcement seems to be via review, not kernel.

Actually, maybe this:

apparently the extension does not support openUrl, but it is still possible to walk up the responder chain to find the UIApplication. This looks doable in objc_util. There is another solution that uses NSClassFromString to get a UIApplication, that might be diable with ctypes...

Sweet! I'll try that - thanks!
