问题

I'm working on a Safari Content Blocking extension. I intend to show setup instructions if the extension is disabled and to show settings if it is conversely enabled. How can I determine if the extension is enabled by the user?

I've seen this method to detect if a custom keyboard is activated but there's no key on NSUserDefaults that relates to Safari Content Blockers.

As of iOS 10, there is a new method in SFContentBlockerManager to support this:

getStateOfContentBlocker(withIdentifier:completionHandler:)

And you call it like this (Swift 3):

SFContentBlockerManager.getStateOfContentBlocker(withIdentifier: "your.identifier.here", completionHandler: { (state, error) in
    if let error = error {
        // TODO: handle the error
    }
    if let state = state {
        let contentBlockerIsEnabled = state.isEnabled
        // TODO: do something with this value
    }
})

You could utilize a SFSafariViewController to load a custom website. This website checks whether it is able to show something that your content blocker should block. Then redirect to the respective custom url (success/failure) that your app previously registered for. You could even use a hidden Safari View Controller without animation to avoid any distraction from the user's perspective (as shown here). (I guess this technique is used by former content blocker Peace)

Steps

App

Use SFSafariViewController to show a custom website and include the following rule in blockerList.json:

{
    "action": {
        "type": "css-display-none",
        "selector": ".blocked_selector"
    },
    "trigger": {
        "url-filter": ".*"
    }
}

Website

Check for blocked content:

if($('.blocked_selector').css('display') == "none") {
   // Content blocker enabled
}

Redirect to custom URL (success/failure)

App

Post notification from application:openURL:options: (success/failure based on called url)

Update 18/01

Following on from Tilo's hypothesis, I built the proposed solution. I wrote about what I learnt on Medium and you can grab the source files from GitHub.

TL;DR It works but only temperamentally due to the latency incurred of the content blocking rules database to update. A potential workaround is redirecting the test page to create an artificial delay.
