Call Objective-C from Safari javascript?

On OSX (say Yosemite), I'd like a way to call Objective-C from Safari/Javascript. Is there a way to do this?

Not what I'm looking for:

  • embed a WebView/WKWebView in an app
  • Start/control/load Safari from Objective-C
  • use JXA outside of Safari (unless it connects in a way that let's me bridge to Objective-C from inside-Safari javascript).
Solution

  • I came across this reference. So the answer appears to be: yes if you are writing a plugin.
