Description
If a user visits App Store using the Safari Web browser and then attempts to install an App, nothing happens.
Safari does not allow javascript code that was loaded via https to connect to other web sites via http unless a new window is opened. In this case, the "other web site" is IGB itself running on the localhost.
For this task, determine if users can install apps into IGB using app store and safari.
If this cannot be done, then implement some kind of warning or failsafe to alert the user to the fact that they cannot use the Safari browser to install an App from App Store.
Before beginning work, please review the linked issue for detailed descriptions of the problem.
Also, consult with Karthik Raveendran on how BioViz Connect has handled this issue from both a technical and user interface perspective.

I am still seeing the issue of the menu bar not loading properly on the bioviz connect page - it is either rendered after a 3+ second delay or not at all...This is also present when using google chrome. I'm not sure what commit is responsible, but this is present on the production site - bioviz.org, so it may have also been the result of a change introduced before those made in this ticket. Maybe a new bug ticket should be made to fix the issue.
The other styling issue is fixed, however, and the safari warning/notification banner works as expected.
Yes that issue still exists and it's in production. So, the issue might be with the code in bioviz.org. Please create a new ticket for that issue and please kindly check whether this issue is fixed or not.

I'll make that ticket. Moving this to done.
Philip Badzuh I'm not sure but the delay might be because the application is not able to load https://www.bioviz.org/js/lightbox.min.map file.
Yeah, I saw that in the console, but checking out at an earlier commit, that error is logged, but the delay isn't present, so that must be a separate problem.
Confirmed: Safari cannot communicate with IGB's local REST endpoint. So we need to implement some kind of warning or alert to let Safari users know that they cannot install or upgrade Apps using the App Store interface. They should use a different browser or instead use the internal App Manager interface within IGB itself.
