SSO extension with Platform SSO token issues
Hi all. So, I built the platform SSO extension on a demo server I created and everything ran smoothly. I get the tokens at the end of the process. Now, I want to use the tokens when I trigger my SSO extension in my domain from Safari. I trigger my domain, get into the beginAuthorization method, get the request.loginManager?.ssoTokens and then want to return them to Safari by calling the request.complete method. But, no matter what complete method I call (complete(httpResponse: HTTPURLResponse, httpBody: Data?) or complete(httpAuthorizationHeaders: [String : String]) where I insert the Bearer token into the Authorization header, it will not drill down to Safari or my server. The headers I try to send back are not moving from the extension to Safari. Some knows why its happening? Thank you for any help or suggestion.

Discrepancy in Cookie Consent Options Across iOS 18.0 and 18.1 on Certain Websites
I've observed a discrepancy in cookie consent options between iOS 18.0 and 18.1 on some websites, such as www2.hm.com. On iOS 18.0, I see "Accept All Cookies" and "Only Required Cookies" options, whereas on iOS 18.1, the options change to "Accept All Cookies" and "Cookie Settings." I would like to understand if this behavior is related to differences in how websites detect the operating system version (iOS 18.0 vs. 18.1) or browser changes within the iOS update. Has anyone else experienced similar variations in cookie consent banners, and could this be tied to differences in the user agent or website A/B testing for different OS versions? Any insights or technical clarifications would be appreciated!

Safari Responsive Design Mode Simulators are not showing up
On my M3 MacBook Pro 14'' laptop, when using Safari responsive design mode I cannot see any simulators when choosing "Open With Simulator". I am on the latest Sequoia 15.1 and Xcode version is 16.1. However when I successfully run a simulator from Xcode (Developer Tools -> Simulator) I can see the simulator running in the "Open With Simulator" dropdown but I cannot click it to run it with my safari desktop. I can never link my desktop safari app to a simulator. I feel I have read almost every how to blog but have no more options left to get this working. I've tried reinstalling Xcode and the iOS 18.1 environment on it, updating safari and anything else that might be out of date but still with no luck after much restarting programs and my machine. Is there another way to try and run a simulator from Safari?

Safari - cookie setting default behavior in iOS 18
Hello! I have a question about changes in default behavior of Safari related to cookie setting. We had an issue - our Single Sign On login was not working, because of lost cookie on some step of the flow. Only changes in Safari cross-website tracking settings helped to fix the issue So the question is - are there any official documentation about changes in cookie setting policy in Safari on iOS 18?

Cannot install release test (ad-hoc profile) on Vision Pro
I was able to setup a release test for an iOS app for distribution using a web server. It works perfectly fine for all the devices I registered for the deployment profile. However every time I try to distribute a Unity based Vision Pro application using the same process for building the package and set up for distribution it does not work. Safari only shows a message telling me: "Cannot connect to ." When trying to install the iOS app from the same server it shows the message "Do you want to install ?" and installation completes correctly. My iOS is a simple hello world app generated by Xcode. My Unity app is an AR app targeting com.apple.platform.xros. According to documentation there should not be any difference in deployment profiles/signing for iOS apps vs. visionOS apps. What am I doing wrong? Any hint is appreciated how to continue.

Overlay appears in fullscreen mode in Safari when video is paused - how to prevent this via JavaScript
When a video in Safari is played in fullscreen mode and the user pauses it, an overlay (such as a play button or other controls) appears. This affects the user experience, as we want to avoid showing the overlay during fullscreen viewing after the video is paused. Expected Behavior: The overlay should not appear after the video is paused in fullscreen mode. Steps to Reproduce: Open a webpage https://slides-dev.pitchavatar.com/rtxuf in Safari. Start playing the video. Enter fullscreen mode. Pause the video. The overlay appears after the video is paused. Screenshot: Additional Information: Safari version: Safari 18.0.1 (20619.1.26.31.7) Environment: macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 (24A348) We would like to know if there is there any way to prevent the overlay from appearing in Safari when the video is paused in fullscreen mode.

Is the Apple aware that Safari does not follow the Gamepad API spec?
The specification states that the timestamp property is a DOMHighResTimeStamp which always represents a value in milliseconds. However, in my testing (on iOS as I don't have a mac) the timestamp is given as seconds. This could break compatibility if an app/library is not tested in Safari. Worse is that the deviation seems to be undocumented as every compatibility chart states full compatibility and defines the property as milliseconds. Any workaround would also be up to one frame incorrect. So a stutter can affect input accuracy. I know this might seem small but it could mean that an app or game is unplayable in Safari if it relies on this for input.

Safari 18 DNR redirect regex validation issue
Starting Safari 18, Declarative Net Request redirections are no longer working (it used to be working on Safari 17). It seems to be related to the regex validation that is not working as expected. Here is an example of our DNR rule: { priority: 1, action: { type: 'redirect', redirect: { regexSubstitution: `${scheme}//${extensionHost}/index.html\\1#/\\2`, }, }, condition: { // app.dashlane.com, *.app.dashlane.com regexFilter: '^https?://w*\\.?app\\.dashlane\\.com(\\??[^/#]*)[^#]*#?/?(.*)$', resourceTypes: [ 'main_frame' ], }, } Is it a known issue ? Also, it seems to be related to this existing issue: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/763505

Safari ios 18.2 download problems
iPhone 15pro iOS 18.2 Downloaded files cannot be located anywhere in Files, only by accessing Downloads in Safari. I have tried setting download folder to various locations, iCloud, Phone, Google Disk, but nothing is stored. Has an invisible cache or temp folder been introduced? If so, it is a total fail: When press-holding any file in Safari download, the normal file action options (Quick Look, share, store to Files, etc) are not available. When clicking any file it opens any of several apps that has this file type associated with it, and there is no way to change the default app or disable the forced opening of an app. I tried deleting the app opening .csv (in this case OneDrive), and another irrelevant app opened. There seems to be a hierarchy of apps-file types, and it has no logic to it. Tips?

Css fieldset/legend with flex and float bug
When I want legend inside the filedset, not on the border as default browsers design, I set float: left to the legend. It works in every modern browser - Safari too. The problem is when the filedset itself is set to display: flex. Float propertie of the legend is ignored. In other browsers this approach works fine and the float stays and the legend is inside of the fieldset as we expect.

How to Remove an Old Email-Associated Passkey from Apple Servers?
I noticed that when logging in to idmsa.apple.com, my old email address still appears as an option, even though I’ve updated my Apple ID to a new email. I understand that passkeys rely on a public-private key pair, with the public key stored on the server (e.g., idmsa.apple.com) and the private key saved locally in iCloud Keychain. Could you please clarify: 1. How can I request Apple to delete the public key associated with my old email address from their servers? 2. Is there a way for users to manage or update server-side passkeys without contacting Apple support? 3. Does this behavior affect my account security in any way? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

XSRF-TOKEN can not be set in Safari 17.0 over IPv6
Hi, When we using Safari on MacOS with IPv6 we found that the XSRF-TOKEN can be set into the cookies. We have set-cookie in the authentication response headers 'Set-Cookie: XSRF-TOKEN=*******; SameSite=Strict; Secure'. It works by using Safari with IPv4. And also works with Chrome/FireFox with IPv4/IPv6. And also worked with Safari 15.6.1 over IPv6. May I know if this an issue or by design? Anyone aware of this? Thanks.

How to confidently select one type of camera on iOS
We have a web application that uses high resolution images to validate the authenticity of products. For this purpose we want to use the best camera to make the high resolution camera, on iPhone Pro devices this camera is the ultra-wide angle camera. The issue we have is how to confidently select that camera from the list returned by navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices. We can't use the device ID as it change every time (and for every user), we could use the camera name but the string is translate to the device language which is very problematic. We could also just select a specific item in the list but we are not sure that the order is preserved and it makes it hard to deal with other iPhone models that don't have that ultra wide angle camera. Selecting a specific camera looks like an essential feature not only for us. What is the best option, we are looking for something that is future proof and easily scalable.

Throttling on navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition on Safari
I'm using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition to retrieve the users coordinates in a PWA built with Nextjs. getCurrentPosition is called by clicking on a button. If getCurrentPosition is called afterwards, the cached value is returned. On Safari, If I refresh the page, or logout, login and call getCurrentPosition again, the getCurrentPosition error callback is called with an error code 2 - POSITION_UNAVAILABLE. After around five minutes, getCurrentPosition can be called again. Is there some kind of throttling restriction on Safari navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition?

Issue with iOS Safari Handling Updates in .ics Files
I have an endpoint that generates a .ics file. From my mobile app, I open the browser (Safari) and retrieve the .ics file. In Safari, the events are displayed as expected, and I can use the "Add All" button to add them to the calendar. After clicking "Add All," I can select the desired calendar, and the events are successfully added (see screenshots 1 and 2 below). Here’s the initial .ics file response: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:NAME BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250101T195917Z DTSTART:20250102T131600 DTEND:20250102T142500 SUMMARY:My Event 1 UID:unique-uid1 LAST-MODIFIED:20250101T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250101T195917Z DTSTART:20250103T131600 DTEND:20250103T135600 SUMMARY:My Event 2 UID:unique-uid2 LAST-MODIFIED:20250101T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR Later, I updated the .ics file with new event details: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:NAME BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250102T195917Z DTSTART:20250104T131600 DTEND:20250104T142500 SUMMARY:My Event 1 Update UID:unique-uid1 LAST-MODIFIED:20250104T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250102T195917Z DTSTART:20250105T131600 DTEND:20250105T142500 SUMMARY:My Event 2 Update UID:unique-uid2 LAST-MODIFIED:20250102T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR I updated everything according to the iCalendar documentation: UID remained unchanged SEQUENCE has been updated DTSTAMP has been updated LAST-MODIFIED has been updated However it seems like that Safari can't handle updates on events. In the preview we can see the changes, but when I click on "Add All" button, nothing happens. The same behavior is working with other calendars like Outlook (web view) or Google Calendar. My Questions: Is there a property missing from my .ics file that is necessary for iOS Safari to handle updates? Is Safari not designed to handle event updates in this way? Should I consider moving to a subscription-based solution to manage updates more reliably? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
