Substitute for the lack of identity API?
up vote

I have a chrome extension which I would like to convert into an Edge extension. I attempted to use the conversion tool provided by Microsoft (here) but it doesn't work, at all. I load the extension and the program just hangs, without updating the UI at all. It's a fairly complex extension, so I could understand why.
I've started to look into doing this myself, however I saw that the Identity API is not supported at all within Edge Extensions (see here) which hinders my progress slightly, as I use chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow to interact with our own Identity Provider.
Is there a way around this at all? Or any possible alternatives? We need to be able to authenticate against our own Identity Provider (which is running IdentityServer 3.)

Please check this thread, as we know, Edge does not support identity now. So we cannot get user identity using Edge extension APIs. Currently we do not have any tricky do get user identity and do not encourage to do it with a tricky method. The best and safety way is sign-in with your extension now.
Someone has create a feedback to asks Edge support Identity API, you could also add a vote.

Thank you for the response. I've added a vote to the UserVoice issue you linked. What do you mean by 'sign-in with your extension now'?
