Hi there,

I am updating my Opera extensions, Note Sidebar and Page Sidebar. However, I noticed that the API for changing the icon in the sidebar no longer works. Is this the correct API?

I use Opera: 116.0.5366.21
My Manifest V3 JavaScript code in the background script:

opr.sidebarAction.setIcon({ path: "/images/icon38white.png"}, function() {
            if (chrome.runtime.lastError) {
              console.error(chrome.runtime.lastError);
            } else {
              console.log('Icon changed successfully');
            }
});

Doc API: https://help.opera.com/en/extensions/sidebar-action-api/#method-seticon

Screenshot of the error:

When I call the opr.sidebarAction.setIcon API in a Manifest V3 extension on Mac it completely crashes opera.
