iOS 26 WKWebView STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver KVO Crash
Fatal Exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException Cannot remove an observer <WKWebView 0x135137800> for the key path "configuration.enforcesChildRestrictions" from <STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver 0x13c6d7460>, most likely because the value for the key "configuration" has changed without an appropriate KVO notification being sent. Check the KVO-compliance of the STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver [class.] I noticed that on iOS 26, WKWebView registers STScreenTimeConfigurationObserver, Is this an iOS 26 system issue? What should I do?

Safari/WebKit Crashes on Johnson Controls Website Across Multiple iOS Versions (Actual devices only)
Here we are facing issue, which is mentioned in detail below: Safari on iOS consistently crashes when loading https://johnsoncontrols.com/. The error shown is: “A Problem repeatedly occurred on https://johnsoncontrols.com/” This happens with multiple iPhone models and iOS versions, suggesting a WebKit rendering or JavaScript execution issue. This occurs occasionally similar behavior on Android, iPhone (Chrome) Environment • Devices: Any iPhone model, we are tested on available models like iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 14, iPhone 15 • iOS Versions: Latest stable releases, occasional occurrence on iOS 13 • Browser: Safari (WebKit) • Network: Both Wi-Fi and cellular tested • Additional Occurrences: Rarely reproduced on Chrome (iPhone, Narzo Android) • Occurs only on physical devices (not observed in Simulator) Steps to Reproduce Open Safari on any affected iOS device. Navigate to https://johnsoncontrols.com/. Sroll page up and down for some time Observe page automatically get reloads, crashed and show error message (A problem repeatedly occurred on “https://johnsoncontrols.com/"). Expected Result Page should be rendered normally without crashing. Actual Result Safari reloads page / blank / crashed and displays errors. Troubleshooting Done • Cleared cache and cookies • Disabled content blockers • Tested in Private mode • Reset Experimental Features • Issue persists across different networks Technical Notes • Suspect JavaScript memory leak or DOM manipulation causing WebKit crash. • Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) or site scripts may conflict. Questions for Community • Can Apple confirm whether this aligns with any known WebKit bugs? • Are there recommended diagnostic steps (e.g., Web Inspector, crash logs, sysdiagnose specifics) for reproducing Safari scroll-related site crashes? • Should the site’s development team adjust JavaScript, rendering approach, or resource handling to improve stability on WebKit?

[iOS] Clicking Back to Top reloads the page in actual iPhone/ iOS devices
Here we are facing issue, which is mentioned below: On https://johnsoncontrols.com/, tapping the blue “Scroll to Top” button (up arrow icon) causes the entire page to reload instead of smoothly scrolling back to the top. This issue occurs only on physical iOS devices and is reproducible across multiple models and iOS versions. Similar behavior is rarely/occasionally seen in Chrome on iPhone and some Android devices. Environment • Devices: Any iPhone model, we are tested on available models like iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 14, iPhone 15 • iOS Versions: Latest stable releases • Browser: Safari (WebKit) • Network: Both Wi-Fi and cellular tested • Additional Occurrences: Rarely reproduced on Chrome (iPhone, Narzo Android) • Occurs only on physical devices (not observed in Simulator) Steps to Reproduce Open Safari on a physical iPhone. Navigate to https://johnsoncontrols.com/. Scroll down until the blue “Scroll to Top” button appears on the right side. Then tap on ‘Scroll to top’ button. The page reloads instead of scrolling to the top. Expected Result Tapping the Scroll to Top button should smoothly move the user to the top of the page without reloading. Actual Result Safari reloads the entire page when the button is tapped. Troubleshooting Done • Replaced # with javascript:void(0) in the button’s anchor tag • Tested with e.stopPropagation() • Switched button position from fixed to sticky • Tried overflow-y: scroll; and -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; on body • Updated scrollTop logic to match iOS‑compatible standards. Questions for Community • Is this a known WebKit issue on physical iOS devices? • Any recommended debugging or profiling steps to better understand the cause? • Are there best practices or example implementations to improve Safari compatibility for scroll to top interactions?

WKWebView ignores upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS = false on iOS 18.x (Xcode 16.x) but works on iOS 17.x (Xcode 15.x)
Hello, We are experiencing a behavior change with WKWebView related to upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS. Current application, we explicitly disable automatic HTTPS upgrades: let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() config.upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS = false Observed behavior iOS 17.5 (built with Xcode 15.3) http:// image URLs are not automatically upgraded to https://, and the behavior works as expected. iOS 18.5 / 18.6.x (built with Xcode 16.4) http:// image URLs appear to be automatically upgraded to https:// by WebKit, even when upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS is explicitly set to false. This behavior occurs for subresource requests such as <img src="http://..."> inside a WKWebView. Question Has the behavior of upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS changed in iOS 18 / Xcode 16? Is this property now ignored for certain types of subresource requests (e.g. images), or overridden by new WebKit security policies such as mixed-content HTTPS upgrades? Any clarification or official guidance would be greatly appreciated!.

App Crash in GameController when accessing GCKeyboard.coalesced on iPad
We are developing a hybrid iOS app where Angular content is rendered inside a WKWebView, hosted by a native Swift application. We use the GameController framework to detect whether an external Bluetooth keyboard is connected to an iPad. The following code is executed when the app enters the foreground and also when requested by the web layer: func keyboardStatusHandler(){ let isKeyboardConnected = GCKeyboard.coalesced != nil if(!isKeyboardConnected){ //sent status to Angular } else { //sent status to Angular } } Crash details We are seeing intermittent crashes on iPad with the following stack trace: Crashed: GCDeviceSession.HID 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x7db8 objc_retain_x8 + 16 1 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xfb8 void HelperBase<ExtendedInline>::copyCapture<(HelperBase<ExtendedInline>::BlockCaptureKind)3>(unsigned int) + 48 2 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xbc4 HelperBase<GenericInline>::copyBlock(Block_layout*, Block_layout*) + 108 3 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xc94 _call_copy_helpers_excp + 60 4 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xef8 _Block_copy + 412 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a70 _dispatch_Block_copy + 32 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x792c dispatch_async + 56 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x792c dispatch_channel_async + 56 8 GameController 0xea6dc -[GCKeyboardInput _handleKeyboardEvent:] + 324 9 GameController 0x22508 __53-[_GCKeyboardEventHIDAdapter initWithSource:service:]_block_invoke + 376 10 GameController 0x11d30 -[_GCHIDEventSubject publishHIDEvent:] + 268 11 GameController 0xb79cc __40-[_GCHIDEventUIKitClient initWithQueue:]_block_invoke_3 + 44 12 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b584 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 13 libdispatch.dylib 0x12088 _dispatch_async_and_wait_invoke_and_complete_recurse + 272 14 libdispatch.dylib 0x8448 _dispatch_async_and_wait_f + 108 15 GameController 0xb7984 __40-[_GCHIDEventUIKitClient initWithQueue:]_block_invoke_2 + 132 16 GameController 0xb746c __48-[__GCHIDEventUIKitClient _initWithApplication:]_block_invoke + 256 17 UIKitCore 0x11fd394 __61-[UIEventFetcher _setHIDGameControllerEventObserver:onQueue:]_block_invoke_3 + 40 18 libdispatch.dylib 0x1aac _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 19 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b584 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 20 libdispatch.dylib 0xa2d0 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 740 21 libdispatch.dylib 0xadac _dispatch_lane_invoke + 388 22 libdispatch.dylib 0x151dc _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 292 23 libdispatch.dylib 0x14a60 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 540 24 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xa0c _pthread_wqthread + 292 25 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xaac start_wqthread + 8 Observed scenarios Crash occurs when the app transitions from background to foreground Crash also occurs when the Angular layer requests keyboard status, triggering the same code path Questions Has anyone encountered crashes related to GCKeyboard.coalesced or GCKeyboardInput like this? Are there known issues with the GameController framework when querying keyboard state during app lifecycle transitions? Is there a recommended or safer way to detect external keyboard connection status on iPad (especially when using WKWebView)? Any insights, known platform issues, or suggested workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

evaluateJavaScript callback is significantly slow on macOS 26.2 for iOS App on Mac
Hello, After upgrading to macOS 26.2, I’ve noticed a significant performance regression when calling evaluateJavaScript in an iOS App running on Mac (WKWebView, Swift project). Observed behavior On macOS 26.2, the callback of evaluateJavaScript takes around 3 seconds to return. This happens not only for: evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent") but also for simple or even empty scripts, for example: evaluateJavaScript("") On previous macOS versions, the same calls typically returned in ~200 ms. Additional testing I created a new, empty Objective-C project with a WKWebView and tested the same evaluateJavaScript calls. In the Objective-C project, the callback still returns in ~200 ms, even on macOS 26.2. Question Is this a known issue or regression related to: iOS Apps on Mac, Swift + WKWebView, or behavioral changes in evaluateJavaScript on macOS 26.2? Any information about known issues, internal changes, or recommended workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Test Code Swift class ViewController: UIViewController { private var tmpWebView: WKWebView? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. setupUserAgent() } func setupUserAgent() { let t1 = CACurrentMediaTime() tmpWebView = WKWebView(frame: .zero) tmpWebView?.isInspectable = true tmpWebView?.evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent") { [weak self] result, error in let t2 = CACurrentMediaTime() print("[getUserAgent] \(t2 - t1)s") self?.tmpWebView = nil } } } Test Code Objective-C - (void)scene:(UIScene *)scene willConnectToSession:(UISceneSession *)session options:(UISceneConnectionOptions *)connectionOptions { NSTimeInterval startTime = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]; WKWebView *webView = [[WKWebView alloc] init]; dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ [webView evaluateJavaScript:@"navigator.userAgent" completionHandler:^(id result, NSError *error) { NSTimeInterval endTime = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]; NSLog(@"[getUserAgent]: %.2f s", (endTime - startTime)); }]; }); }

WKWebView isBlockedByScreenTime
WKWebView has a new property "isBlockedByScreenTime" since iOS 26. But I do not yet understand when exactly this property could be used. When I setup content-based restrictions in the ScreenTime settings then WKWebView reports an error 105 via "webView:didFailProvisionalNavigation:" delegate. The isBlockedByScreenTime property still returns false in this case. If ScreenTime has a time-based limit, the App would not run at all. Under which circumstances would the property "isBlockedByScreenTime" return the value true? When exactly and for what can this property be actually used? The "problem" is that I want to find if a web page is blocked and can not be loaded, why this is the case. By simply trial and error I found out that WKWebView returns error codes 104 and 105 for blocked web sites because of content filters and Screen Time restrictions, however these error codes are not documented at all (at least I've not found any documentation or documentation for these error codes and also some other codes like 100, 102, 204 etc), so I'm not really sure if I handle all cases correctly. I hoped that isBlockedByScreenTime would at least tell me one reason for blocked pages. If there are documents which explain these error codes (100 and above), where I can find these?

Also, it doesn’t seem to have any negative consequences other than the console spam? But then, the navigation is being cancelled anyway, so maybe it’s trapping and just happens to have the effect of not loading the request? Anyway, I guess I can’t upload zips. But it’s pretty easy to reproduce. Just assign a WKWebView a navigationDelegate with an implementation like: func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping @MainActor (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) { decisionHandler(.cancel) } and then have it .load() anything. Have I been doing this wrong and 26 exposes it? Or is this a bug in 26? If the latter, any downstream consequences I should be looking out for? macOS 15.7.1 (24G231) Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100) iOS 26.1 (23B86)

window.opener is null with WKWebview
My iOS app uses a WKWebView with a WKUIDelegate method (webView:createWebViewWithConfiguration:forNavigationAction:windowFeatures:) to handle popup windows. This works for most cases, but during OAuth flows on certain sites (e.g., canva.com), the popup WKWebView attempts to send results back to the main WKWebView using JavaScript like window.opener.postMessage(...). However, window.opener is always null in the popup, preventing the message from being posted and blocking login completion.I've researched this and found suggestions that it's by design, as WKWebView instances are isolated for security reasons. Has anyone encountered this and found a reliable workaround (e.g., bridging communication between the main and popup WKWebViews without relying on window.opener)?

Request for Native AJAX API Request Interception Support in WKWebView
Hello WebKit Team, I’m writing to ask if iOS provides a native way to intercept AJAX (XMLHttpRequest or fetch) calls inside WKWebView. On Android, this is handled via: shouldInterceptRequest(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) but iOS currently seems to have no equivalent. We’ve tried: WKURLSchemeHandler → works only for custom schemes URLProtocol with WKProcessPool → unreliable for AJAX in WebView JavaScript injection → partial and unofficial Could you please clarify: Is there a recommended native approach to intercept AJAX requests? If not supported, is it planned for future releases? Any official workaround or guidance? This is critical for debugging, analytics, and compliance in hybrid apps.

[iOS Safari] Fullscreen API on a non-video element
webkitEnterFullScreen API is supported on iOS for video element, but not for a div element. Also as a fullscreen demo website shown, Safari on macOS supports div element but not on iOS. Is there any plan to add the support in iOS? If not is there any way to fullscreen a div element or make it run as fullscreen on Safari iOS?

关于 WKWebView 加载本地文件时 localStorage 数据丢失的情况
在 iOS 平台使用 WKWebView 通过file://协议加载本地 HTML 文件时,存储在localStorage中的数据会在 App 后台切换、进程重启后偶尔丢失;但相同代码在安卓 / 鸿蒙平台无此问题。 现在的文档 仅明确了「默认数据存储(defaultDataStore)可将网站数据持久化到磁盘,非持久化存储(nonPersistent)仅存内存」的基础规则; 未提及「file://协议内容即使使用默认持久化存储,也会被归为临时内存存储」这一关键场景限制; 仅在WKURLSchemeHandler关联说明中隐含「自定义 URL 协议可处理 WebKit 原生不支持的 URL 方案」,但未直接关联file://的存储问题。 我找不到如何处理这个问题的官方文档,仅仅有其他的博客说需要增加http/https加载就没有这个问题。 请提供给我官方文档或者官方回复 关于出现这种file:/加载html出现问题的处理办法

ExtensionFoundation/ExtensionKit across app boundary
Hi there, I'm trying to work on an architecture where one app exposes an API (Extension Host) that other apps can plugin to. I've been reading all I can from the docs and whatever I can find online. It seemed like iOS26 added the ability to do such a thing (at least in early builds). Is that the case? Has the functionality been walked back such that extensions can only be loaded in iOS from within the single app bundle? My use case is the following: I'm working on an agent app that desires to have 3rd party developers add functionality (think how MCP servers add functionality to LLMs). The 3rd party plugins would be provided in their own app bundles vetted by the AppStore review team, of course, and would only provide hooks, basically, the main app can use to execute functions or get state. This is the best thread I found on the topic, and the subtext is that it needs to be in the same bundle. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/803896?answerId=865314022#865314022 Let's say for the moment that this isn't possible using ExtensionKit. What's the best way to achieve this? Our current best alternative idea is a hidded WebKit window that runs JS/WASM but that's so hackish. Please let me know, thanks!

Detecting Navigation Redirect Chains
I'm building a macOS extension that needs to track multi-step navigation chains (A → B → C) to adjust behavior based on where users came from. Current approach: Using webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate to detect intermediate steps, but experiencing issues in Safari that don't occur on Chrome/Firefox/Edge. Questions: Is webNavigation the right API for tracking redirect chains in Safari? Does ITP/Private Browsing affect event delivery? Any alternative approaches recommended? (Safari version 26.0.1) Any guidance appreciated!

WKWebview returns an 'unsupported type' error on every single function after first success while other webview works flawlessly.
I'm working on a SwiftUI application that uses a couple different webviews in a tabview to render some mdx and codemirror editor. The editor webview, the one that's much more complicated works as expected. Some errors appear in the console due to what I imagine is a race condition that I'll get around to fixing, but it works as expected. The other webview which just renders a single, local html file to display a dead simple summary absolutely refuses to work. It first appears to work as expected (shows the same 'return type unsupported' error in the console though) on the initial request, but then refuses to process any JS functions for that particular webview. Even the functions themselves are being used between the two webviews, and they work as expected in the other. Even worse, when I copy and paste the generated JS code into the safari dev tools it works as expected, even in the broken webview. I've spent almost 12 hours on this today so far, and have made zero progress. I've tried commenting out just about the entire website to narrow it down on the JS side without success, and I've done everything I can think of on the swift side. To be transparent, I'm very new to Swift and SwiftUI, having only picked it up a few weeks ago, but I'm an experienced developer and every obvious solution fails to work. From what I've gathered, this might have something to do with the first function call failing, despite the fact that it appears to work on the first function call, but then the javascript engine refusing to process additional requests. I'm not sure if that's the cause, but it certainly seems to make sense. Is there a way to debug this more completely? Like I said, I'm very new to Swift and still missing neovim, so I'm still getting comfortable with the apple ecosystem of devtools, but I can't even figure out how to print out the return type since it fails before I'm able to inspect anything on the safari side I did notice this error in the console as well, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it: Error acquiring assertion: <Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))}> And as I was digging for that one, I just noticed this: WebContent[32934] 0x102011208 - [webPageID=306] WebPage::runJavaScriptInFrameInScriptWorld: Request to run JavaScript failed with error SecurityError: The operation is insecure. What would trigger a security warning for running javascript against a local file? Any help is greatly appreciated... this is driving me crazy.

VoiceOver Accessibility Tree out of sync with WKWebView contents
Hey, We've run into an issue where WKWebView contents are not always available for VoiceOver users. It seems to occur when WKWebView contents are loaded asynchronously. I have a sample project where this can be reproduced and a video showing the issue. See FB21257352 The only solution we currently see is forcing an update continuously using UIAccessibility.post(notification: .layoutChanged, argument: nil), but this is ofc a last resort as it may have other unintended side effects.

iOS 26.1 | WebKit renders an emoji for the list disclosure-closed icon
As of iOS 26.1, Safari and WebKit views have an issue when rendering the <details> html tag. The disclosure-closed icon / character appears as an emoji arrow ▶️ instead of the unicode character ▸ (U+25B8 - Black Right-Pointing Small Triangle) For example: <details> <summary>Summary</summary> <p>Additional details....</p> </details> This wasn't the case in iOS 26.0 / iOS 18. From what I can observe it seems ▶ (U+25B6 - Black Right-Pointing Triangle) may be used in iOS 26.1 which renders as the emoji ▶️ on iOS (at least as far back as iOS 18). The only workaround I found for the moment is to specify explicit CSS to revert back to using the ▸ (U+25B8 - Black Right-Pointing Small Triangle) details > summary { list-style-type: "▸ "; } details[open] > summary { list-style-type: "▾ "; } Is this expected? I've filed a feedback for this FB20997955. Thanks!
