re-entering website environment fails
I have been working with visionOS 27's website environment features, and I have found when entering a website environment, leaving the website environment, waiting 10 seconds, and then trying to re-enter the website environment, the attempt fails. The thrown error reports: AbortError: Immersive request was superseded by another request Strangely, if I try to immediately re-enter the website environment, I succeed. I have to wait several seconds before trying to re-enter the environment to experience the failure. The workaround is to reload the page. Anyone know why this is occurring or how to avoid it? Anyone know a more graceful workaround than asking the user to reload the page? I have filed a feedback on this: FB23208345

Safari shows “Fraudulent Website Warning” for a clean domain. How to request re-evaluation?
Hello, Safari on iOS is showing a “Fraudulent Website Warning” for our domain: https://doobler.ru/ We are trying to understand how to properly diagnose this and request a re-evaluation. The website has a valid HTTPS certificate and does not currently appear to be flagged by the reputation tools we checked, including Google Safe Browsing / Search Console / VirusTotal. However, some iPhone users still see the Safari warning, while others do not. What we have checked so far: HTTPS certificate is valid No mixed-content or obvious redirect issues found Google Safe Browsing does not show the domain as unsafe Google Search Console does not show security issues VirusTotal does not show active malware/phishing detections The warning appears only for some users/devices We submitted a review request through Apple’s Website Review form, but have not received any response yet We would like to know: Is there any way to confirm whether the warning comes from Apple’s own reputation system, Google Safe Browsing, or another provider used by Safari? How long does Apple Website Review usually take for Safari fraudulent website warnings? Is there a recommended process for requesting re-evaluation if the warning appears to be a false positive? Are there specific technical signals Safari checks that we should verify, such as redirects, third-party scripts, domain reputation, or brand/phishing heuristics? This is affecting real users, so any guidance on the correct escalation or diagnostic path would be appreciated. Thank you.

iOS 26 Safari & WebView: VisualViewport.offsetTop not reset after keyboard dismissal, causing fixed elements misplacement
1. System/device combinations where the issue does not occur: Physical device: iOS 26.0 (23A5318c) + iPhone 16 Pro Max 2. System/device combinations where the issue does occur: System versions: Physical device: iOS 26.0 (23A5330a), iOS 26.0 (23A340) Simulator: iOS 26.0 (23A339) Device models: Physical device: iPhone 12 Reproducible in Safari, WKWebView, and UIWebView: Yes Actual behavior In WebView (and identically in Safari): Before the keyboard is shown, header/footer elements with position: fixed are correctly aligned with the screen viewport. Scrolling up/down works as expected. After the keyboard appears, the visualViewport position changes. Bug: When the keyboard is dismissed, visualViewport.offsetTop does not reset to 0. As a result, fixed header/footer elements remain misaligned: When scrolling down, the position looks correct. When scrolling up, the header/footer are visibly offset. Steps to reproduce Focus an input field → the keyboard appears Dismiss the keyboard Observe that visualViewport.offsetTop remains >0 (does not reset to zero) position: fixed header/footer elements are misplaced relative to the screen Expected behavior After the keyboard is dismissed, visualViewport.height should return to match the layout viewport, and visualViewport.offsetTop should reset to 0. When scrolling upward, fixed elements should remain correctly positioned within the layout viewport. Minimal reproducible demo A simple HTML file containing: A header and footer with position: fixed An input element to trigger the keyboard <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="zh-CN"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, viewport-fit=cover" /> <title>H5 吸顶吸底页面 Demo</title> <style> * { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; } body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; height: 2000px; /* 设置内容高度 */ background-color: #f0f8ff; /* body 背景浅蓝色 */ padding-top: 120px; /* 预留 header 高度 */ padding-bottom: 60px; /* 预留 footer 高度 */ overflow-x: hidden; } /* 吸顶 Header */ header { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px; background-color: #ff6b6b; /* 红色 */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; color: white; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; z-index: 1000; } /* 吸底 Footer */ footer { position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 60px; background-color: #4ecdc4; /* 青绿色 */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; color: white; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; z-index: 1000; } /* 输入框样式 */ .input-container { margin: 100px auto; width: 80%; max-width: 600px; text-align: center; } input[type='text'] { padding: 12px; font-size: 16px; border: 2px solid #ddd; border-radius: 8px; width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; } input[type='text']:focus { outline: none; border-color: #4ecdc4; } </style> </head> <body> <!-- 吸顶 Header --> <header>吸顶 Header (120px)</header> <!-- 主体内容 --> <div class="input-container"> <input type="text" placeholder="请输入内容..." /> </div> <!-- 吸底 Footer --> <footer>吸底 Footer (60px)</footer> </body> </html>

User experience after adding a pass from the web
Hi, We are distributing pk pass files via a web browser. When a user taps Add in the system pass preview, the pass is added successfully, the preview is dismissed, and the user remains in the browser. From a user experience perspective, we would like to better guide users to their newly added pass in Apple Wallet. Is there a supported API, URL scheme, or documented mechanism that allows a web-based flow to transition the user to the Wallet app after a pass has been added? If direct app transitions are not supported in this scenario, what is the recommended best practice for helping users locate and open their newly added pass in Wallet? Thank you for your guidance.

"Open Website Environment" menu gone?
In visionOS 26 (with Website Environments enabled), there was a two step action to enable the environment: click button on the left of the address bar (1 in image), then click "Open Website Environment" (2 in image). This example was shown again this year in Build next-generation experiences with visionOS 27. But I do no see this working in visionOS 27. Instead, I've needed to add a button for the user to open (and optionally close) the website environment. Is adding a button/control to the web page the new way to activate website environments?

Software Update screen does not open the DetailURL link on iOS 26.4 when using Declarative Device Management OS Update
We found an issue where the DetailURL configured in a Declarative Device Management OS update declaration is displayed on the device’s Software Update screen, but tapping the link does not open the URL on some iOS versions. This issue appears to occur specifically on iOS 26.4. The same behavior could not be reproduced on iOS 17.x or iOS 18.x devices using the same MDM command configuration and the same URL. Environment: MDM command: Declarative OS Update command Command configuration: Target OS Version: 26.5 Build Version: 23F77 DetailURL: Appleデバイスのソフトウェアアップデート宣言型構成 - Apple サポート (日本) Device requirements: Supervised iOS device Managed by MDM Connected to Wi-Fi OS update available No Safari restriction or browser launch restriction configuration profile applied Reproduction Steps: Prepare a supervised iOS device managed by MDM. Send a Declarative Device Management OS update command with the following configuration: Target OS Version: 26.5 Build Version: 23F77 DetailURL: Appleデバイスのソフトウェアアップデート宣言型構成 - Apple サポート (日本) After the command is applied, open the device Settings app. Go to General > Software Update. Confirm that the URL configured in DetailURL is displayed on the Software Update screen. Tap the displayed URL. Expected Result: The displayed DetailURL should open in Safari or the default browser. Actual Result: On iOS 26.4 devices, the URL is displayed on the Software Update screen, but tapping the link does not open Safari or navigate to the URL. On other tested iOS versions, the URL opens correctly. Test Results: Reproduced / Not working: iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26.4: reproduced 3/3 iPhone 17e, iOS 26.4: reproduced Not reproduced / Working: iPhone SE, iOS 17.7: Safari opens successfully iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17.6.1: Safari opens successfully, 0/3 reproduced iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18.7.7: Safari opens successfully iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 18.7.8: Safari opens successfully, 0/3 reproduced Additional Notes: We confirmed that Safari usage restrictions and browser launch-related configuration profiles were not applied on the affected test device. A sysdiagnose was collected from the affected iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 26.4. From the logs, it appears that the Settings app / Preferences attempts to open Safari, but the URL cannot be opened. The log suggests that an invalid or unexpected URL may be passed from the Settings app when the Software Update screen link is tapped. This issue does not appear to be specific to the MDM server implementation, because the same Declarative OS Update configuration works correctly on iOS 17.x and iOS 18.x devices. Based on current testing, this may be an iOS 26.4-specific issue with how the Software Update screen handles the DetailURL link.

Safari and Safari Technology Preview intermittently ignore clicks near bottom of webpage on macOS 27 Beta
Environment: MacBook Air M4 macOS 27 Beta Safari Safari Technology Preview Issue: I am experiencing an issue where mouse/trackpad clicks are intermittently ignored near the bottom portion of a webpage. The trackpad hardware appears to be functioning normally, as physical clicks are registered and the issue does not occur consistently across all browsers. Steps to Reproduce: Open Safari or Safari Technology Preview. Navigate to a webpage with interactive elements near the bottom of the visible page. Attempt to click links, buttons, or text fields located in approximately the bottom quarter of the browser window. Observe that clicks are sometimes not registered. Resize the Safari window so that the affected area is no longer located in the bottom portion of the screen. Attempt the same clicks again. Expected Result: Clicks should be consistently registered regardless of their position within the webpage. Actual Result: Clicks in the lower portion of the webpage are sometimes ignored. Resizing the window may temporarily resolve the issue. Additional Information: The trackpad itself appears to function normally. Physical clicks are detected. I have observed the issue in both Safari and Safari Technology Preview. I tested the same website in Perplexity Comet, where the issue does not appear to occur. This suggests the issue may be related to Safari’s rendering, hit-testing, event handling, or window management rather than the website itself. Has anyone else been able to reproduce this on macOS 27 Beta?

Immersive AR mode of WebXR in visionOS Safari
After enabling WebXR following instructions from https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/732629, I can successfully run WebXR, but it is limited to VR. I cannot get AR running. If I try await navigator.xr.isSessionSupported("immersive-ar"), the result is false. But if I try await navigator.xr.isSessionSupported("immersive-vr"), the result is true. I double checked that I specifically checked the box "WebXR Augmented Reality Module" in the Safari feature flags. Any idea how to enable WebXR AR mode? Thanks in advance!

WKWebView/Safari delayed and duplicate JavaScript loading after recent iOS/Safari update
We are investigating a web application performance issue observed in iOS Safari/WKWebView after a recent iOS/Safari update. In the network waterfall, the main backend/document request completes within an acceptable time, but JavaScript resources appear to load late and in a more sequential pattern. We also noticed duplicate requests for some static JavaScript assets, which further delays full page rendering. The issue is more visible in iOS Safari/WKWebView compared with other browsers/environments.

Resources not loading over HTTP/3 on iOS 26.3/4
Since 28 April, we have seen some bizarre behaviour where iOS 26.3 and 26.4 are intermittently not loading some CSS and JS resources from our CDN. This is only reproducible when our CDN has HTTP/3 enabled. When reproduced in the Simulator, Safari's HAR shows that it is not even attempting to request those resources; it does not appear to be a network issue. Oddly enough switching to a different CDN with HTTP/3 enabled appears to resolve the issue. As far as I can tell, this hasn't been reported on the Webkit tracker; we'd be happy to provide Apple with additional data in a formal bug report but it would be helpful to know what data would be useful to provide.

HLS Tools - hlsreport critical error cause
Hi, I'm currently experiencing issues with HLS streams created by FFmpeg running on Safari. When I pass the stream to the mediastreamvalidator tool and then run hlsreport on the output, I get a critical error reported: Media Entry discontinuity value does not match previous playlist for MEDIA-SEQUENCE 1 If I let the stream finish (it's a live stream from an IoT device) and then perform the stream validation again I no longer receive the critical error. My assumption is that this critical error is contributing to the HLS stall on iOS. I have also noticed that if I let the stream continue and then re-load the video control in Safari the stream starts Is there a resource with explanations or remediation paths relevant to the possible output of the hlsreport? My m3u8 output looks like this (I have redacted the server host) #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:6 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:EVENT #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY #EXTINF:2.000000, https://redacted.com/segment-00001.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00002.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00003.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00004.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, #EXT-X-ENDLIST Thanks for any advice or guidance possible - if I can provide isolated code snippets I will do.

iOS Safari keyboard shifts entire viewport and moves fixed header
Hi, I’m experiencing a persistent issue with the iOS on-screen keyboard in mobile Safari. My website (built with PHP, but the issue is clearly on the frontend) has a fixed header (position: fixed; top: 0). However, when a user focuses on an input field and the keyboard opens, the entire viewport shifts upward. No matter what I try, the keyboard seems to push everything up: The header does not stay fixed at the top of the screen In some cases, it briefly stays, then animates/jumps as if trying to reposition itself It feels like the whole layout is being moved rather than just the visible area adjusting I’ve already tried: Removing transforms on the header Forcing position: fixed with top: 0 Avoiding 100vh Testing without custom JavaScript related to viewport handling But the behavior remains the same: opening the keyboard causes the entire layout to shift. Is this expected behavior due to how iOS handles the visual viewport? Is there a reliable way to keep a fixed header truly fixed when the keyboard appears? Any insight or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Feature Request: Quick Search Engine Switcher in Safari Toolbar
Dear Apple Product Team, I would like to propose a usability enhancement for Safari on iOS that, in my opinion, would significantly improve the user experience. Current Situation: Currently, to change the default search engine in Safari, users must navigate to Settings → Safari → Search Engine, select their preferred option, and return to browsing. This workflow requires multiple taps and interrupts the user's flow. Proposed Solution: Add a quick search engine selector to the bottom toolbar in Safari (adjacent to the Smart Search field). Tapping this control would display a compact menu allowing users to instantly switch between available search engines (Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, etc.) without leaving the browser. Key Benefits: ⚡️ Time-saving: Instant switching without navigating through Settings 🎯 Flexibility: Use different search engines for different query types (e.g., DuckDuckGo for privacy, Google for local results) 📱 Intuitive UX: Consistent with iOS design patterns and gesture-based navigation 🔧 Enhanced productivity: Streamlines research workflows for power users Implementation Suggestion: Long-press or tap-and-hold on the search field could trigger the selector Alternatively, a small chevron/icon next to the search field could open the menu Selected engine could persist per-tab or session-based, based on user preference I believe this feature aligns with Apple's commitment to privacy, efficiency, and user-centric design. Thank you for considering this suggestion for future iOS releases.

Applinks for any subdomain not opening the app
My Entitlements file contains the following (removed some non related entries): <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> <array> <string>webcredentials:app.mydomain.org</string> <string>applinks:*.mydomain.org</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Now when I tap on a link such as abc.mydomain.org, the app is not opened. If I change the generic applinks key from *.mydomain.org to a specific domain, this works correctly and it opens the app as expected. (This makes me think the website part of the AASA file is correct). Since I need to support a lot of subdomains (think about hundreds in the near future), I really need the wildcard to work. Do you have any tips on how to make this work?

Safari shows "Fraudulent Website Warning" for clean domain — all security databases clear, Chrome works fine
Safari continues to display a "Fraudulent Website Warning" for openvan.camp despite the domain being clean across all major security databases for over a week. Chrome, Firefox, and all other browsers open the site without any warnings. Domain: openvan.camp Warning appeared: March 18, 2026 Warning type: Fraudulent Website Warning (red screen) Current security database status: Google Safe Browsing: ✅ Clean (transparencyreport.google.com) Google Search Console: ✅ No security issues Spamhaus DBL: ✅ Removed from blocklist Fortinet FortiGuard: ✅ Category "Travel" VirusTotal: ✅ 0/65 vendors URLVoid: ✅ 0/35 engines Steps taken: Removed the third-party ad network (Adsterra) that caused the original flag — March 18, 2026 Migrated hosting to Scaleway (AS12876, France), IP: 151.115.84.228 Configured SPF, DKIM, DMARC records Created functional abuse@ and postmaster@ role accounts Submitted review via websitereview.apple.com — no response after 5 days What we believe is happening: Apple's Safe Browsing database appears to have an independent entry for this domain that has not been updated despite all underlying security databases clearing the flag. Safari's warning persists even after deleting ~/Library/Safari/SafeBrowsing/ cache and re-downloading the database — which confirms this is not a local cache issue. Steps to reproduce: Open Safari on macOS or iOS Navigate to https://openvan.camp/ Safari displays "Fraudulent Website Warning" Open the same URL in Chrome — no warning Expected behavior: No warning should be shown. The domain is legitimate, clean, and verified. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is there any additional channel to escalate beyond websitereview.apple.com?

All Safari Traffic Fails on VPN
Updated to the latest developer beta and while on VPN I am no longer able to connect to any website with Safari. Firefox has no issues with the connection and the computer is definitely online. Firefox is able to load and use both internal pages and external sites, without any issue. Other apps on the computer are able to access the network. Safari fails immediately, with "There was a bad response from the server." If I enable developer mode and look at the network tab in Safari I don't see any requests going out for the pages, it just immediately loads ErrorPage.html and page-load-errors.css Disconnect from VPN and everything works again. Anyone else seeing this?

browser.commands: Empty browser action reference causes conflicts
To provide users the ability for a keyboard shortcut to open extensions, you can define this in manifest: "commands": { "_execute_browser_action": { "description": "Open extension popup" } }, This doesn't set a keyboard shortcut yet allows the user to assign one. However, in iOS safari, when two extensions offer this functionality, the browser warns about it. See screenshot:

Smart card access is blocked in Safari and other WebKit browsers during passkey sign-in when the site offers the “Security Key” option
On macOS 26, when a passkey sign-in flow is started in Safari or another WebKit-based browser (for example, DuckDuckGo browser), smart cards become inaccessible as soon as the password manager selection UI is shown, but only if the website offers “Security Key” as one of the passkey storage/authentication options. At that moment, it appears the system starts polling connected smart cards and does not properly release the transaction/session. As a result, other applications and libraries can no longer communicate with the smart card until the passkey UI is dismissed, and in practice the card may remain unavailable until the passkey sign-in flow is fully completed. This does not happen in Chrome. This does not happen if the website does not offer the “Security Key” option. This does not happen during passkey registration; the issue affects sign-in only. From our investigation, Safari/WebKit appears to open communication with connected smart cards and keep the transaction/session active. Because of that: • our own smart card code blocks while waiting for a PC/SC transaction to begin; • the system pcsctest utility also hangs and does not continue until the passkey selection UI is closed; • a minimal sample using TKSmartCard also blocks on beginSession(). This suggests the smart card is locked not only at the PC/SC level, but also at the CryptoTokenKit level. This issue is critical for us. We are developing a password manager that supports storing keys on a smart card, and due to this behavior we cannot access our card while Safari/WebKit is showing the passkey flow. Is there any way to stop safari from accessing smartcards? Any terminal commands/settings/workarounds?

iOS 26 Safari & WebView: VisualViewport.offsetTop not reset after keyboard dismissal, causing fixed elements misplacement

Minimal reproducible demo A simple HTML file containing: A header and footer with position: fixed An input element to trigger the keyboard <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="zh-CN"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, viewport-fit=cover" /> <title>H5 吸顶吸底页面 Demo</title> <style> * { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; } body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; height: 2000px; /* 设置内容高度 */ background-color: #f0f8ff; /* body 背景浅蓝色 */ padding-top: 120px; /* 预留 header 高度 */ padding-bottom: 60px; /* 预留 footer 高度 */ overflow-x: hidden; } /* 吸顶 Header */ header { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px; background-color: #ff6b6b; /* 红色 */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; color: white; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; z-index: 1000; } /* 吸底 Footer */ footer { position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 60px; background-color: #4ecdc4; /* 青绿色 */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; color: white; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; z-index: 1000; } /* 输入框样式 */ .input-container { margin: 100px auto; width: 80%; max-width: 600px; text-align: center; } input[type='text'] { padding: 12px; font-size: 16px; border: 2px solid #ddd; border-radius: 8px; width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; } input[type='text']:focus { outline: none; border-color: #4ecdc4; } </style> </head> <body> <!-- 吸顶 Header --> <header>吸顶 Header (120px)</header> <!-- 主体内容 --> <div class="input-container"> <input type="text" placeholder="请输入内容..." /> </div> <!-- 吸底 Footer --> <footer>吸底 Footer (60px)</footer> </body> </html>

User experience after adding a pass from the web
Hi, We are distributing pk pass files via a web browser. When a user taps Add in the system pass preview, the pass is added successfully, the preview is dismissed, and the user remains in the browser. From a user experience perspective, we would like to better guide users to their newly added pass in Apple Wallet. Is there a supported API, URL scheme, or documented mechanism that allows a web-based flow to transition the user to the Wallet app after a pass has been added? If direct app transitions are not supported in this scenario, what is the recommended best practice for helping users locate and open their newly added pass in Wallet? Thank you for your guidance.

"Open Website Environment" menu gone?
In visionOS 26 (with Website Environments enabled), there was a two step action to enable the environment: click button on the left of the address bar (1 in image), then click "Open Website Environment" (2 in image). This example was shown again this year in Build next-generation experiences with visionOS 27. But I do no see this working in visionOS 27. Instead, I've needed to add a button for the user to open (and optionally close) the website environment. Is adding a button/control to the web page the new way to activate website environments?

Software Update screen does not open the DetailURL link on iOS 26.4 when using Declarative Device Management OS Update
We found an issue where the DetailURL configured in a Declarative Device Management OS update declaration is displayed on the device’s Software Update screen, but tapping the link does not open the URL on some iOS versions. This issue appears to occur specifically on iOS 26.4. The same behavior could not be reproduced on iOS 17.x or iOS 18.x devices using the same MDM command configuration and the same URL. Environment: MDM command: Declarative OS Update command Command configuration: Target OS Version: 26.5 Build Version: 23F77 DetailURL: Appleデバイスのソフトウェアアップデート宣言型構成 - Apple サポート (日本) Device requirements: Supervised iOS device Managed by MDM Connected to Wi-Fi OS update available No Safari restriction or browser launch restriction configuration profile applied Reproduction Steps: Prepare a supervised iOS device managed by MDM. Send a Declarative Device Management OS update command with the following configuration: Target OS Version: 26.5 Build Version: 23F77 DetailURL: Appleデバイスのソフトウェアアップデート宣言型構成 - Apple サポート (日本) After the command is applied, open the device Settings app. Go to General > Software Update. Confirm that the URL configured in DetailURL is displayed on the Software Update screen. Tap the displayed URL. Expected Result: The displayed DetailURL should open in Safari or the default browser. Actual Result: On iOS 26.4 devices, the URL is displayed on the Software Update screen, but tapping the link does not open Safari or navigate to the URL. On other tested iOS versions, the URL opens correctly. Test Results: Reproduced / Not working: iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26.4: reproduced 3/3 iPhone 17e, iOS 26.4: reproduced Not reproduced / Working: iPhone SE, iOS 17.7: Safari opens successfully iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17.6.1: Safari opens successfully, 0/3 reproduced iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18.7.7: Safari opens successfully iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 18.7.8: Safari opens successfully, 0/3 reproduced Additional Notes: We confirmed that Safari usage restrictions and browser launch-related configuration profiles were not applied on the affected test device. A sysdiagnose was collected from the affected iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 26.4. From the logs, it appears that the Settings app / Preferences attempts to open Safari, but the URL cannot be opened. The log suggests that an invalid or unexpected URL may be passed from the Settings app when the Software Update screen link is tapped. This issue does not appear to be specific to the MDM server implementation, because the same Declarative OS Update configuration works correctly on iOS 17.x and iOS 18.x devices. Based on current testing, this may be an iOS 26.4-specific issue with how the Software Update screen handles the DetailURL link.

Safari and Safari Technology Preview intermittently ignore clicks near bottom of webpage on macOS 27 Beta
Environment: MacBook Air M4 macOS 27 Beta Safari Safari Technology Preview Issue: I am experiencing an issue where mouse/trackpad clicks are intermittently ignored near the bottom portion of a webpage. The trackpad hardware appears to be functioning normally, as physical clicks are registered and the issue does not occur consistently across all browsers. Steps to Reproduce: Open Safari or Safari Technology Preview. Navigate to a webpage with interactive elements near the bottom of the visible page. Attempt to click links, buttons, or text fields located in approximately the bottom quarter of the browser window. Observe that clicks are sometimes not registered. Resize the Safari window so that the affected area is no longer located in the bottom portion of the screen. Attempt the same clicks again. Expected Result: Clicks should be consistently registered regardless of their position within the webpage. Actual Result: Clicks in the lower portion of the webpage are sometimes ignored. Resizing the window may temporarily resolve the issue. Additional Information: The trackpad itself appears to function normally. Physical clicks are detected. I have observed the issue in both Safari and Safari Technology Preview. I tested the same website in Perplexity Comet, where the issue does not appear to occur. This suggests the issue may be related to Safari’s rendering, hit-testing, event handling, or window management rather than the website itself. Has anyone else been able to reproduce this on macOS 27 Beta?

Immersive AR mode of WebXR in visionOS Safari
After enabling WebXR following instructions from https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/732629, I can successfully run WebXR, but it is limited to VR. I cannot get AR running. If I try await navigator.xr.isSessionSupported("immersive-ar"), the result is false. But if I try await navigator.xr.isSessionSupported("immersive-vr"), the result is true. I double checked that I specifically checked the box "WebXR Augmented Reality Module" in the Safari feature flags. Any idea how to enable WebXR AR mode? Thanks in advance!

WKWebView/Safari delayed and duplicate JavaScript loading after recent iOS/Safari update
We are investigating a web application performance issue observed in iOS Safari/WKWebView after a recent iOS/Safari update. In the network waterfall, the main backend/document request completes within an acceptable time, but JavaScript resources appear to load late and in a more sequential pattern. We also noticed duplicate requests for some static JavaScript assets, which further delays full page rendering. The issue is more visible in iOS Safari/WKWebView compared with other browsers/environments.

Resources not loading over HTTP/3 on iOS 26.3/4
Since 28 April, we have seen some bizarre behaviour where iOS 26.3 and 26.4 are intermittently not loading some CSS and JS resources from our CDN. This is only reproducible when our CDN has HTTP/3 enabled. When reproduced in the Simulator, Safari's HAR shows that it is not even attempting to request those resources; it does not appear to be a network issue. Oddly enough switching to a different CDN with HTTP/3 enabled appears to resolve the issue. As far as I can tell, this hasn't been reported on the Webkit tracker; we'd be happy to provide Apple with additional data in a formal bug report but it would be helpful to know what data would be useful to provide.

HLS Tools - hlsreport critical error cause
Hi, I'm currently experiencing issues with HLS streams created by FFmpeg running on Safari. When I pass the stream to the mediastreamvalidator tool and then run hlsreport on the output, I get a critical error reported: Media Entry discontinuity value does not match previous playlist for MEDIA-SEQUENCE 1 If I let the stream finish (it's a live stream from an IoT device) and then perform the stream validation again I no longer receive the critical error. My assumption is that this critical error is contributing to the HLS stall on iOS. I have also noticed that if I let the stream continue and then re-load the video control in Safari the stream starts Is there a resource with explanations or remediation paths relevant to the possible output of the hlsreport? My m3u8 output looks like this (I have redacted the server host) #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:6 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:EVENT #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY #EXTINF:2.000000, https://redacted.com/segment-00001.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00002.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00003.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00004.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, #EXT-X-ENDLIST Thanks for any advice or guidance possible - if I can provide isolated code snippets I will do.

iOS Safari keyboard shifts entire viewport and moves fixed header
Hi, I’m experiencing a persistent issue with the iOS on-screen keyboard in mobile Safari. My website (built with PHP, but the issue is clearly on the frontend) has a fixed header (position: fixed; top: 0). However, when a user focuses on an input field and the keyboard opens, the entire viewport shifts upward. No matter what I try, the keyboard seems to push everything up: The header does not stay fixed at the top of the screen In some cases, it briefly stays, then animates/jumps as if trying to reposition itself It feels like the whole layout is being moved rather than just the visible area adjusting I’ve already tried: Removing transforms on the header Forcing position: fixed with top: 0 Avoiding 100vh Testing without custom JavaScript related to viewport handling But the behavior remains the same: opening the keyboard causes the entire layout to shift. Is this expected behavior due to how iOS handles the visual viewport? Is there a reliable way to keep a fixed header truly fixed when the keyboard appears? Any insight or recommended approach would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Feature Request: Quick Search Engine Switcher in Safari Toolbar
Dear Apple Product Team, I would like to propose a usability enhancement for Safari on iOS that, in my opinion, would significantly improve the user experience. Current Situation: Currently, to change the default search engine in Safari, users must navigate to Settings → Safari → Search Engine, select their preferred option, and return to browsing. This workflow requires multiple taps and interrupts the user's flow. Proposed Solution: Add a quick search engine selector to the bottom toolbar in Safari (adjacent to the Smart Search field). Tapping this control would display a compact menu allowing users to instantly switch between available search engines (Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, etc.) without leaving the browser. Key Benefits: ⚡️ Time-saving: Instant switching without navigating through Settings 🎯 Flexibility: Use different search engines for different query types (e.g., DuckDuckGo for privacy, Google for local results) 📱 Intuitive UX: Consistent with iOS design patterns and gesture-based navigation 🔧 Enhanced productivity: Streamlines research workflows for power users Implementation Suggestion: Long-press or tap-and-hold on the search field could trigger the selector Alternatively, a small chevron/icon next to the search field could open the menu Selected engine could persist per-tab or session-based, based on user preference I believe this feature aligns with Apple's commitment to privacy, efficiency, and user-centric design. Thank you for considering this suggestion for future iOS releases.

Applinks for any subdomain not opening the app
My Entitlements file contains the following (removed some non related entries): <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> <array> <string>webcredentials:app.mydomain.org</string> <string>applinks:*.mydomain.org</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Now when I tap on a link such as abc.mydomain.org, the app is not opened. If I change the generic applinks key from *.mydomain.org to a specific domain, this works correctly and it opens the app as expected. (This makes me think the website part of the AASA file is correct). Since I need to support a lot of subdomains (think about hundreds in the near future), I really need the wildcard to work. Do you have any tips on how to make this work?

Safari shows "Fraudulent Website Warning" for clean domain — all security databases clear, Chrome works fine
Safari continues to display a "Fraudulent Website Warning" for openvan.camp despite the domain being clean across all major security databases for over a week. Chrome, Firefox, and all other browsers open the site without any warnings. Domain: openvan.camp Warning appeared: March 18, 2026 Warning type: Fraudulent Website Warning (red screen) Current security database status: Google Safe Browsing: ✅ Clean (transparencyreport.google.com) Google Search Console: ✅ No security issues Spamhaus DBL: ✅ Removed from blocklist Fortinet FortiGuard: ✅ Category "Travel" VirusTotal: ✅ 0/65 vendors URLVoid: ✅ 0/35 engines Steps taken: Removed the third-party ad network (Adsterra) that caused the original flag — March 18, 2026 Migrated hosting to Scaleway (AS12876, France), IP: 151.115.84.228 Configured SPF, DKIM, DMARC records Created functional abuse@ and postmaster@ role accounts Submitted review via websitereview.apple.com — no response after 5 days What we believe is happening: Apple's Safe Browsing database appears to have an independent entry for this domain that has not been updated despite all underlying security databases clearing the flag. Safari's warning persists even after deleting ~/Library/Safari/SafeBrowsing/ cache and re-downloading the database — which confirms this is not a local cache issue. Steps to reproduce: Open Safari on macOS or iOS Navigate to https://openvan.camp/ Safari displays "Fraudulent Website Warning" Open the same URL in Chrome — no warning Expected behavior: No warning should be shown. The domain is legitimate, clean, and verified. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is there any additional channel to escalate beyond websitereview.apple.com?

All Safari Traffic Fails on VPN
Updated to the latest developer beta and while on VPN I am no longer able to connect to any website with Safari. Firefox has no issues with the connection and the computer is definitely online. Firefox is able to load and use both internal pages and external sites, without any issue. Other apps on the computer are able to access the network. Safari fails immediately, with "There was a bad response from the server." If I enable developer mode and look at the network tab in Safari I don't see any requests going out for the pages, it just immediately loads ErrorPage.html and page-load-errors.css Disconnect from VPN and everything works again. Anyone else seeing this?

browser.commands: Empty browser action reference causes conflicts
To provide users the ability for a keyboard shortcut to open extensions, you can define this in manifest: "commands": { "_execute_browser_action": { "description": "Open extension popup" } }, This doesn't set a keyboard shortcut yet allows the user to assign one. However, in iOS safari, when two extensions offer this functionality, the browser warns about it. See screenshot:

Cannot sign into App Store Connect with Passkey
Dear App Store Connect Team! Since Passkeys have been introduced as login option on https://appstoreconnect.apple.com, I am unable to to make use of this new sign in option. I have attached sysdiagnoses, screen recordings, and .har exports in my feedback requests: FB22167539 FB17622414 FB22403813 When I select "Sign in with Passkey", the spinner just keeps spinning. Signing in with password works without issues. I can sign into my Apple ID on other Apple websites using my passkey without problems. Hope that helps! – Frederik

Smart card access is blocked in Safari and other WebKit browsers during passkey sign-in when the site offers the “Security Key” option
On macOS 26, when a passkey sign-in flow is started in Safari or another WebKit-based browser (for example, DuckDuckGo browser), smart cards become inaccessible as soon as the password manager selection UI is shown, but only if the website offers “Security Key” as one of the passkey storage/authentication options. At that moment, it appears the system starts polling connected smart cards and does not properly release the transaction/session. As a result, other applications and libraries can no longer communicate with the smart card until the passkey UI is dismissed, and in practice the card may remain unavailable until the passkey sign-in flow is fully completed. This does not happen in Chrome. This does not happen if the website does not offer the “Security Key” option. This does not happen during passkey registration; the issue affects sign-in only. From our investigation, Safari/WebKit appears to open communication with connected smart cards and keep the transaction/session active. Because of that: • our own smart card code blocks while waiting for a PC/SC transaction to begin; • the system pcsctest utility also hangs and does not continue until the passkey selection UI is closed; • a minimal sample using TKSmartCard also blocks on beginSession(). This suggests the smart card is locked not only at the PC/SC level, but also at the CryptoTokenKit level. This issue is critical for us. We are developing a password manager that supports storing keys on a smart card, and due to this behavior we cannot access our card while Safari/WebKit is showing the passkey flow. Is there any way to stop safari from accessing smartcards? Any terminal commands/settings/workarounds?
