This method does not seem to work consistently: SFSafariViewControllerDelegate.safariViewController(_ controller: SFSafariViewController, initialLoadDidRedirectTo URL: URL) It was working 100% of the time until this week for me, now it has about a 1-5% success rate for detecting redirects. The docs are not clear: @discussion This method may be called even after -safariViewController:didCompleteInitialLoad: if the web page performs additional redirects without user interaction. Code snippet from calling UIViewController that conforms to SFSafariViewControllerDelegate: let config = SafariViewController.Configuration() config.entersReaderIfAvailable = false let vc = SFSafariViewController(url: url, configuration: config) vc.delegate = self self.safariViewController = vc print(self.safariViewController?.delegate) self.present(vc, animated: true) Did something change? How can I make this consistent again?

For some reason, not all of the time but most of the time, the SFSafariViewControllerDelegate method for initialLoadDidRedirectTo is not being triggered for subsequent reloads as specified in the docs. @discussion This method may be called even after -safariViewController:didCompleteInitialLoad: if the web page performs additional redirects without user interaction. I am allowing a user to log in with an OAuth 2.0 Provider on the Safari browser and expecting to detect the redirect to continue the flow from the app once their credentials have securely been consumed by the IdP in Safari. It was working consistently. It went from a 100% success rate up until this week to maybe 1/20 successful redirects. Code snippet: let config = SafariViewController.Configuration() config.entersReaderIfAvailable = false let vc = SFSafariViewController(url: url, configuration: config) vc.delegate = self self.safariViewController = vc print(self.safariViewController?.delegate) self.present(vc, animated: true) Why is it not always detecting the redirects?

Preamble: I am creating an iOS build of a Ren'Py game. My coding experience with Swift/ObjC is nearly nonexistent and I've primarily followed tutorials up to this point. Ren'Py uses an underlying framework to create an Xcode project. I do not have control over how this framework does things, but I can add files before actually compiling inside Xcode. I MUST use the pyobjus library to do so based on my current understanding, abilities, and frameworks. The included IAPHelper class processes in-app purchasing and it works great! The following function indicates, however, that there is a rootViewController that I need to attach to. - (void) showDialog { if (alert != nil) { return; } alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:self.dialogTitle message:nil preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert ]; UIActivityIndicatorView *indicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleLarge]; // Adjust the indicator so it is up a few pixels from the bottom of the alert indicator.center = CGPointMake(alert.view.bounds.size.width / 2, alert.view.bounds.size.height - 50); [indicator startAnimating]; [alert.view addSubview: indicator]; #pragma clang diagnostic push #pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated" [UIApplication.sharedApplication.keyWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil]; #pragma clang diagnostic pop } Problem: I am TRYING to implement an in-app browser for Patreon authentication purposes. The files I have put together are as follows: BrowserViewController.h // BrowserViewController.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <WebKit/WebKit.h> @interface BrowserViewController : UIViewController - (void)loadURL:(NSString *)urlString; @end BrowserViewController.m // BrowserViewController.m #import "BrowserViewController.h" @interface BrowserViewController () @property (nonatomic, strong) WKWebView *webView; @end @implementation BrowserViewController - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; self.webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame]; [self.view addSubview:self.webView]; NSLog(@"viewDidLoad"); } - (void)loadURL:(NSString *)urlString { NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString]; NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]; [self.webView loadRequest:request]; NSLog(@"loadURL"); } @end OAuth2Strategy.py init python in auth: from urllib.parse import urlencode, urlparse, parse_qs from urllib.request import urlopen, Request import ssl import certifi from store import webserver, OpenURL import json class OAuth2Strategy(): def __init__(self, authorization_url, token_url, client_id, client_secret, callback_url, scope): self.authorization_url = authorization_url self.token_url = token_url self.client_id = client_id self.client_secret = client_secret self.callback_url = callback_url self.scope = scope self.on_success_callback = None self.on_fail_callback = None def run(self, on_success_callback = None, on_fail_callback = None): self.on_success_callback = on_success_callback self.on_fail_callback = on_fail_callback webserver.start(self) if renpy.renpy.ios: from pyobjus import autoclass, objc_str # Import the Objective-C class BrowserViewController = autoclass('BrowserViewController') # Create an instance of the BrowserViewController browser = BrowserViewController.alloc().init() # Load a URL url = self.make_authorize_url() browser.loadURL_(objc_str(url)) elif renpy.renpy.android: pass else: renpy.run(OpenURL(self.make_authorize_url())) def make_authorize_url(self): return self.authorization_url + "?client_id={client_id}&scope={scope}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&response_type=code".format( client_id=self.client_id, scope=self.scope, redirect_uri=self.redirect_uri, ) @property def redirect_uri(self): return "http://127.0.0.1:" + str(webserver.PORT) + self.callback_url def handle_auth(self, request): parsed_path = urlparse(request.path) query = parse_qs(parsed_path.query) code = query.get("code") if not code: request.send_response(400) request.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html') request.end_headers() request.wfile.write(b'Failed to authenticate.

When I run my app and click the button that SHOULD spawn the browser, nothing happens. I can see that my URL is getting pushed to the function in the log along with Warning: -[BETextInput attributedMarkedText] is unimplemented and Failed to request allowed query parameters from WebPrivacy. though my admittedly light research indicates this isn't an issue. I have a feeling I'm not attaching my webView to the right hierarchy but I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong.

I have a link that is embedded in the app using WKWebView. This link is working fine in the Macbook Safari browser, But it's not open in iPhone Safari and wkWebView in the app.

Hi, I am developing a drawing app using SafariView and is using apple pencil double tap handler for crucial features. In IOS 17.5 I lost functionality of it when interacting with SafariView, my friend confirmed that it worked with IOS 17.4 and I can confirm it also worked with IOS 17.1. However, I cannot downgrade my system nor can my uses. THIS IS A FATAL MALFUNCTION FOR MY APP. Detailedly, as I tested, the double tap handlers cannot be activated when my last tapped component is SafariView, so it never works when interacting with my web app. But I can enable this by clicking outside the SafariView or some non-SafariView component on top of it, just anything other than the Safari view, even webkit view can work but it is not usable for me. My aim is to keep listening to double tapping while interacting with SafariView in full screen, so I cannot let the user tap elsewhere to just activate double tap, there is no other walk around for me, unless there is a way to enable 120fps animation in WebKit view, which is only available in safari feature flags as I know. I would like to hear a solution in this situation or a promise of a fix, this is devastating to my users' experience. code to reproduce: import SwiftUI import WebKit import SafariServices struct SafariView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { let url: URL func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> SFSafariViewController { return SFSafariViewController(url: url) } func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: SFSafariViewController, context: Context) { // No update code needed for this example } } struct WKWebViewWrapper: UIViewRepresentable { let url: URL func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { let webView = WKWebView() let request = URLRequest(url: url) webView.load(request) return webView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) { // No update code needed for this example } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) .onPencilDoubleTap { value in print("tap1") } Text("Hello, world!") .padding() SafariView(url: URL(string: "https://www.example.com")!) .onPencilDoubleTap { value in print("tap2")} .frame(width:300) WKWebViewWrapper(url: URL(string: "https://www.example.com")!).onPencilDoubleTap { value in print("tap3") } .frame(width:300) } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

I want to implement in-app purchases for my Mac Safari web extension. I can think of two ways: Draw the payment UI in an extension web page, and send a message to the native extension app to call StoreKit code. Open the container app from an extension web page, where the app draws the payment UI. I couldn't make #1 work with either StoreKit 2, which is async, and context.completeRequest(returningItems:) doesn't want to be called in a Task, saying context is not sendable) or StoreKit 1, where calling context.completeRequest(returningItems:) in paymentQueue(_:updatedTransactions:) for some reason doesn't return a response to the extension's web page. I couldn't make #2 work because I couldn't find a way to open the container app from the web extension. I registered a custom URL for my container app, but context.open that url does nothing. Web extensions that use IAP with #2 are available on the Mac app store, so it must be possible, could anyone shed some light on how to open the container app and pass the purchased info to the extension web page even if the container app is not open? Thanks in advance.

The SFSafariViewController documentation mentions not to display content from websites when using the pageSheet and formSheet presentation styles for the In-App browser. Is this a hard restriction that is enforced or more of a loose guideline? And if possible, providing the reasoning behind it would be great. Thanks in advance.

Scenario: Apple decided to not support PWAs in Europe in IOS 17.4. My company has multiple Angular PWAs, all using IndexedDB and providing full offline-usage as main feature, that apparently won't work anymore. The apps communicate with a server. We maintain two versions of that server, e.g. v1.1 and v1.2 - some customers don't want or can't upgrade to v1.2 just yet. Not all new features of an app will get implemented in v1.1, and eventually we won't push updates for it anymore. At some point, we'll have the same situation with e.g. v1.2 and v1.3. My questions: Do I understand correctly that offline-usage and IndexedDB features won't work anymore? If I wrap the PWAs via Capacitor and upload them as Custom App via App Store Connect, in IOS 17.4... Will the app, including routing, work offline? Will the IndexedDb still be usable as permanent data storage? Can I upload v1.1 and v1.2 as separate apps or will I have to create on app with in-app purchase options? If it's the latter, how do I push updates? Apparently, Apple Review can cause problems with separate apps that have similar functions... Thank you for your time!

I recently noticed that using Google Docs, Google Sheets, and any other Google-related sites on a Safari browser uses tons of RAM. It usually consumes around 4-5 GB of RAM. Compare it to when I use Google Docs on Chrome; it only uses around 1-2 GB. Why is this so? I want to use Safari alone for work, but it's so slow. Do you have any tips on this?

Getting this error on some safari devices on few it is working. {"logs":["Unable to generate ICNS file for push notification package"]} https://monayqa.washgas.com/portal/auth/payment/2814a6ac-e9ef-4e54-86c3-a9e811cb46d2

Hi, I need to intercept from a UIViewController the postMessage that originate from the web page that is rendered in the SFSafariViewController component, is it possible to do it? how would be the correct implementation? thanks!

Hello, since the last iOS 17.4 Europe update, and since the implementation of new rules for default browsers, PWAs no longer work. In fact, they are nothing more than shortcuts for internet pages, so this makes the application unusable, which could not necessarily be launched in install mode with notifications. I tried looking for changes but couldn't find them. I think it's linked to the fact that you can install applications from the web from a marketplace. If anyone has a solution or the same problem. Thank you

On Safari Mobile and iOS version 16 or 17, while scrolling the webpage, the function browser.tabs.captureVisibleTab() is not returning the expected screen image. The image is cropped from the top. The probable reason for the same is the collapsible Address Bar. The below attached image is the iPad mini (6th generation ) Simulator OS Version:17.0 simulator The below attached image is created by browser.tabs.captureVisibleTab() I tested it on iPad mini (6th generation ) Simulator OS Version:17.0 and iPad (8th generation) - iPadOS Version 16.2.

Hello everyone, i want to set transparent status bar (where wifi and time), in my pwa app, writing on html, using manifest.manifest and sw.js, i make: and this not work, i am want but this work on ios 15-17.xx, who know, how do setup this variable?

Problem : Deep links are not directing users to the intended apps, instead, they are redirecting to the respective apps on app store. When clicking on a deep link in private mode, it consistently displays a prompt to open the application or cancel. If the "Cancel" button is selected on the prompt, it redirects to the app store via a deep link to open the specific application, on next time onwards we are not receiving the prompt to open application, every time it get redirects to the appstore via merchant link automatically. In other case if we click open button on the prompt , it redirects to the application, Subsequently, each time we click the deep link, it repeatedly prompts us to open the app. Why do the "Open" and "Cancel" buttons lead to different outcomes in these scenarios? How can we ensure that the application always opens when clicking on the deep link, if it is in private mode as well?

I'm experiencing an issue with the Smart App Banner on my website, and I'm seeking assistance in resolving it. I have followed Apple's guidelines for implementing the Smart App Banner on my website, but it doesn't seem to work as expected when the app is not installed on the user's device. Here are the details of my setup: I have added the following meta tag to the root index file of my website: html <meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=, app-argument=myapp.com"> In the .well-known folder, I have created an apple-app-site-association file with content like this: { "applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID": "HGU83XXXXX.com.myapp.app", "paths": ["*"] } ] } } The issue I'm encountering is that the Smart App Banner only displays with the "Open" button when the app is already installed on the user's device. However, when the app is not installed, the Smart App Banner doesn't appear to prompt users to download the app from the App Store. I would appreciate any insights or guidance on how to make the Smart App Banner work correctly, especially when the app is not installed on the user's device. Are there any specific steps or configurations I might be missing in this implementation? Thank you for your assistance!

Hello, I try to develop extension for safari. I edited info.plist but I can't see my menu items.

Hello, In the latest macOS Sonoma and Safari 17 update, Safari App Extensions that were previously running without any issues (for years) suddenly stopped working. Digging a little into the source code and debugger, I found out that basic API calls do not work anymore, for example: SFSafariApplication.getActiveWindow { (window) in ... } or the async version: let window = await SFSafariApplication.activeWindow() getActiveWindow callback is never called and let window = await ... waits forever. Is there anything updated in the security model of Safari 17 that I should be aware of? Or any API updates. I repeat, the extensions worked for 5 years without any issue and also work perfectly in Safari 16 and macOS Ventura. Thank you.

Hello, safari consumes less CPU than Chrome, but it does not consume less RAM. When you access YouTube in Safari, especially when you skip 5 seconds while watching a video, the buttons are very inadequate compared to Chrome. The video and audio lag, the loading sign appears and the audio lag is very annoying. At the same time, when I log into Twitter, some videos do not play but remain loading. While browsing the web in Safari, the mouse sometimes remains stuck. While typing, the mouse becomes a line, but when I hover over something to click, it still remains as a line. There are such bugs. I like to use Safari, it is very useful, but I always prefer to stay in Chrome because of such errors. I try it every time Apple updates Safari, most bugs go away, but new ones come and unfortunately the Youtube problem is very bad. This problem only occurs on YouTube, not on Netflix and similar platforms. Browsing YouTube with Safari is very annoying. I hope you find a solution to these problems soon. Since I deal with CDN and Linux servers, the web is very important to me and I like the safari web tool part, but it is not an immersive view. It gives the impression that I shouldn't have opened it. I hope a new design language will be added to this design. Other than that, using safari is nice and I love how minimalist it is. Thank you, I wish you good work.

Hi, this is my first time to write in Forum. My Problem is that, when I have a video in Safari for Mac recorded, Safari is splitting my record into three blobs. For Example Chrome doesn't. There is one record, one blob. Safari Version: 16.6 (18615.3.12.11.2) Does anyone know why Safari splits one Record/blob into three blobs? Thank you and have a great day.
