Is this technical solution reasonable about WKWebView on cross-domain issues ? Hi，all My project use WKWebView to load offline package, such as .html/.css/.js，and also request some resources from remote server to update pages. So there is a cross-domain problem with local file(file://xxx) and remote domain (https://xxx), is this following technical solution reasonable to fix this problem: 1. Create a custom URLSchemeHandler which conforms to WKURLSchemeHandler 2.Unify local file and remote domain request to https request 3. Hook WKWebView https request 4. Implement WKURLSchemeHandler delegate method (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView startURLSchemeTask:(id)urlSchemeTask { NSURL *url = urlSchemeTask.request.URL; if ([url.pathExtension isEqualToString:@"html"]) { NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:localFilePath]; NSMutableDictionary resHeader = [NSMutableDictionary new]; [resHeader setValue:@"" forKey:@"Access-Control-Allow-Origin"]; [resHeader setValue:@"charset=UTF-8" forKey:@"Content-Type"]; [resHeader setValue:@"text/html" forKey:@"Content-Type"]; NSHTTPURLResponse *response = [[NSHTTPURLResponse alloc] initWithURL:url statusCode:200 HTTPVersion:@"HTTP/1.1" headerFields:resHeader]; [urlSchemeTask didReceiveResponse:response]; [urlSchemeTask didReceiveData:data]; [urlSchemeTask didFinish]; } else { NSURLSession *defaultSession = [NSURLSession sharedSession]; NSURLSessionTask *dataTask = [defaultSession dataTaskWithRequest:urlSchemeTask.request completionHandler:^(NSData * _Nullable data, NSURLResponse * _Nullable response, NSError * _Nullable error) { [urlSchemeTask didReceiveResponse:response]; [urlSchemeTask didReceiveData:data]; [urlSchemeTask didFinish]; }]; [dataTask resume]; } } Is this technical solution reasonable? and is there any issues that I haven't considered? Sincerely, Looking forward to your reply

I am currently publishing an application that uses WebView, I am currently publishing an application that uses WebView, but I am having trouble with data in LocalStorage sometimes disappearing. The website displayed in WebView is made with PHP, By writing the following code in JavaScript, When WKWebView is opened, localStorage is saved and retrieved. window.localStorage.setItem('isAlreadyAgree', true); window.localStorage.getItem('isAlreadyAgree'); The problem is that sometimes this getItem does not get the data. ・This is not reproducible and does not always occur when some process is performed. ・Is it possible that the storage of the application is cleared due to distribution using MDM? ・Is it possible to store too much data in UserDefault, which would cause the LocalStorage space to be overwhelmed and disappear? I would appreciate any hints you can give me. Thank you in advance.

The app gets stuck after login on an iOS 18 device. It works in Xcode, but the simulator shows the following console error: IntegrationApp(769,0x1f0094c00) malloc: xzm: failed to initialize deferred reclamation buffer (46).

Hi Apple Team, We have a PWA which supports downloading and playback for audio and video content. Downloaded content is stored in IndexedDB in the form of blobs and blob URLs are generated on runtime through which content is played. We have observed that the blob URLs have stopped working on iOS 17.4.1. They work on iOS 17.4 and iOS 17.3 as well. This feature is very critical for us as it is the heart of the offline mode of the app. Thanks!

I'm working on a rather complex web application that includes 3D terrain, 2D mapping, and SVG animations. Both Safari and the Swift app I've built using WkWebKit reload the page after some period of time. Safari pops up a small text block that says: This webpage was reloaded because it was using significant memory. Yes. That's true. It's also true that the M1 Max Mac was in now way experiencing issues, nor were any of the other web pages running in other tabs or windows. The memory limit is simply too low for modern web apps. So far I've not found any way to adjust the parameters in Safari or WkWebView. Apple, help a brother out. It's not 1997 anymore. Web apps are big. And resetting them at some arbitrary point causes more problems that is solves. Anyone have any suggestions? Quinn, any way (other than casting a stone into the one-way abyss of Radar) of getting help from the big A here?

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.

Hello I have a webrtc-based web app that is loaded inside a WKWebView. The web app gets loaded just fine in our iOS App running WKWebView on an iPad with iOS 15.1. We are using the exact same app, built for Mac Catalyst. However, on the Mac version, the web app gets loaded but the RTCPeerConnection object is undefined.. Meaning that our web app assumes that WebRTC is not available in that browser. Isn't the native app supposed to work the exact same on iOS and MacOS? Is the Mac version of WKWebView more limited than its iOS counterpart ? Is there any resource that states exactly what is supported in WKWebview in each platform? Thanks

When I run the following code in XCode iOS Simulator on Safari (connecting via Safari DevTools): navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then((reg) => reg.pushManager.subscribe({ userVisibleOnly: true, applicationServiceKey: "..." }).then((sub) => console.log(sub.toJSON()))) I get the response: { keys: { p256dh: "", auth: "" } } But I'm expecting p256dh and auth (and endpoint) to be filled out. Why is it not?

Safari cannot open the page due to the error 'WebKit encountered an internal error.' We are using https://github.com/stleamist/BetterSafariView.git, and it was working fine before we updated to Xcode 16.

Hello everyone, in my website I need to give users the ability to choose a color via input type=“color”. I don't understand why it works fine on desktop (even on Safari for Mac) but doesn't open the color picker on iPhone. How can I solve this? Thank you, Andrea

We have an ObjC-based Mac App utility. A fair fraction of the functionality is built in JavaScript and resides in a couple of WKWebViews so that we can more easily share code with other platforms. Because it is a utility, usually the application will be hidden or at least not the frontmost application. But if the user hits a hotkey or provides certain other inputs, the app should respond immediately with a series of actions. In the Obj-C part of the code, we can do this to alert the system that our non-visible, non-active, application is doing something in response to the user input: [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] beginActivityWithOptions: NSActivityUserInitiatedAllowingIdleSystemSleep reason: @"Do the Thing"] To get the JavaScript to do the work needed, we call evaluateJavaScript:completionHandler: on one of the WKWebViews. The JavaScript performs a series of computations, then uses window.webkit.messageHandlers.xxxx.postMessage to return results to the ObjectiveC code, which then takes action based on various SDKs, and the user sees the result. The problem we are encountering is relatively infrequent, but it appears that macOS puts the 'Web Content' process (which every WKWebView has) to sleep, and sometimes delays of many seconds (sometimes over 15 seconds) occur between the evaluateJavaScript:completionHandler: call and the postMessage response. These observed delays are not related to complexity of the JavaScript computations or the amount of data being processed. Using the Console, we can see that evaluateJavaScript:completionHandler: seems to result in this message: 0x104682280 - [PID=0, throttler=0x1046e8498] ProcessThrottler::Activity::Activity: Starting background activity / 'WebPageProxy::runJavaScriptInMainFrameScriptWorld' Then shortly afterward: 0x104682280 - [PID=0, throttler=0x1046e8498] ProcessThrottler::Activity::invalidate: Ending background activity / 'WebPageProxy::runJavaScriptInMainFrameScriptWorld' So it seems that evaluateJavaScript:completionHandler: "wakes up" the WKWebView similar to the beginActivityWithOptions:. But many parts of our computation do some work, then expect the next "tick" in JavaScript to continue using the partial result to produce more work. I suspect that the delays are related to the WKWebView being put "back to sleep" before all the "next tick" code executes. Because these actions are taken in response to user invocation, delays of more than a fraction of a second are instantly noticeable and result in user dismay. Are there any configuration settings that can prevent the 'Web Content' process from going to sleep? Or (better) techniques or mechanisms that would force the process to "stay awake longer"? (Keeping in mind that the WKWebView is likely not visible, and/or the containing window may be hidden.)

iOS18 Added support for WebRTC HEVC RFC 7789 RTP Payload Format. (112001659)，How can i determine whether iOS 18 WebRTC uses hardware or software decoding for HEVC?

Recently, we ran into a bit of a problem when using WKWebView. Sometimes, problems with all pages blank occur which use WKWebView. I implemented WKNavigationDelegate and found that it stops at - (void)webView:(WKWebView *)theWebView decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction decisionHandler:(void (^)(WKNavigationActionPolicy))decisionHandler and it won't call below func forever - (void)webView:(WKWebView*)theWebView didStartProvisionalNavigation:(WKNavigation*)navigation I suspected that the render process is terminated and it won't restart. Then i try to resolve this problem by call reload func [self.webView reload]; But it didn't work. In The Meanwhile, i got some error message in console I have tested it in iOS 16 and 17. only iOS 17 got the issue. Pray for some help. Thanks a lot.

I'm developing an application that utilizes WKWebView to display a webpage. My goal is to improve the performance and loading speed of this webpage by intercepting specific API calls and providing pre-stored JSON responses directly from within the app, ensuring the webpage renders instantaneously. The challenge I am encountering is the inability to intercept HTTPS URL schemes directly from WKWebView. Any insights or solutions from the community on how to effectively manage and overwrite these particular network requests would be greatly appreciated.

I'm injecting some javascript into a WKWebview on iOS. At a certain point the web view spits out these warnings into the console and the javascript execution stops. 0x109018c40 - [PID=778] WebProcessProxy::gpuProcessExited: reason=IdleExit 0x109019200 - [PID=779] WebProcessProxy::gpuProcessExited: reason=IdleExit Failed to terminate process: Error Domain=com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x303c3c060 {Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process found" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=No such process found}}} I can't find any solution for this so am looking if anyone has any idea of what to try. None of the WKWebview delegate functions trigger when this occurs so I can't attempt to reload the webview at this stage

I am trying to access a camera from web view and I'm unable to load the updated UI in web view and web view gets flick for every few seconds. The updated UI has some more functionality, but the web page not getting loaded.

We as a team of engineers work on an app intended to visualize medical images. The type of situations where the app is used involves time critical decision making for acute clinical conditions. Stability of the app and performance are of almost importance and can directly help timely treatment action. The app we are developing uses Javascript. It has been observed the footprint of the app is lagging by 2 to 3 seconds in releasing memory while javascript is expecting the memory to be cleared. This is affecting the stability of our application and preventing us in delivering the right quality of application. The problem specifically can be described as follows, using javascript create an array and then remove it and after removal of the array, create a new array of the same size immediately and again remove it. Because the memory is not released in time, if you repeat these steps a few times the app memory footprint will increase and that crashes the app. To reproduce this scenario, we have created a simple app which creates an array with size of 100MB and checks the memory footprint using the Xcode instrument tool. When we create an array of 100MB size, sometimes it shows the memory footprint peak of around 700MB-800MB and when we clear the array by assigning it with an empty array it releases the memory after 2-3 seconds. Considering the critical nature of the app, I urge you to look into this and provide necessary support and resolution. Please refer below sample code that will help to reproduce the mentioned scenario. import UIKit import WebKit class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate { @IBOutlet var webView: WKWebView! let myHTML = """ <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .button-style { width: 400px; height: 200px; margin: 15px; font-size: 50px; } </style> </head> <body> <button type="button" class="button-style" onclick="loadDataInCache()">Load Data In Cache</button> <button type="button" class="button-style" onclick="removeDataFromCache()">Clear Cache</button> <script> const size = 1024 * 1024 * 100; let numberArray = []; function loadDataInCache() { numberArray = Array(size).fill(0); } function removeDataFromCache() { numberArray = []; } </script> </body> </html> """ override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // self.view.addSubview(webView) webView.loadHTMLString(myHTML, baseURL: nil) } override func loadView() { let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration() webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webConfiguration) webView.uiDelegate = self view = webView } }

PLATFORM AND VERSION iOS Development environment: Other: Xamarin iOS App Run-time configuration: iOS 14.4.2 and above DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM We are using WKWebView control in our application. It loads a page, wherein there is a code which gets triggered to execute a Synchronous Ajax/XmlHttpRequest. This request needs about 1 min time to complete, but it gets aborted after 10 secs. Observed in iPhone 6S 14.4.2. Also seen the same behavior in the latest version of iPhone and iPad OS. Need help on the below points: How can I extend this timeout? Making it an Asynchronous call would have regression. Hence the ask for any other alternative to extend this timeout. STEPS TO REPRODUCE In the WKWebView have a webpage, which gives a Synchronous ajax/XmlHttpRequest call to a Web API, which takes more than 10 seconds to complete. The Ajax call sample code is as below, which uses jquery: var startTime = performance.now(); $.ajax({ async: false, // Synchronous ajax call type: "POST", url: "http://testsite:8000/api/RunTestTimer", contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", data: JSON.stringify({ timeInSeconds: 15 }), // timeInSeconds is the parameter name in the Web API, which I used to run a timer on the server-side for the value passed to the ajax call dataType: "json", beforeSend: skelta.forms.utilities.addRequestHeaders }) .done(function (result) { var endTime = performance.now(); var message = "Request Successful (Time Taken to execute: " + ((endTime - startTime) / 1000).toFixed(3) + " secs; Type: " + "POST" + "; Async: " + "FALSE" + "; Timer: " + "15" + " seconds):" + JSON.stringify(result); console.log(message); }) .fail(function (result) { var endTime = performance.now(); var message = "Request Failed (Time Taken to execute: " + ((endTime - startTime) / 1000).toFixed(3) + " secs; Type: " + "POST" + "; Async: " + "FALSE" + "; Timer: " + "15" + " seconds):" + JSON.stringify(result); console.log(message); });
