Safari "Deceptive Website" warning persists after hosting migration — correct escalation path?
Five of my sites are flagged by Safari's Deceptive Website Warning. They are legitimate and none of them collect credentials, imitate another brand or contain social engineering content: store-api.ru — paid access to third-party AI APIs (clearly states it is not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic or Google) cenwise.ru — price comparison service kirillportfolio.ru — personal developer portfolio (no login, no forms, no data collection at all) 3021.ru — habit tracking app animegenai.ru — AI image generation service All five are clean in Google Safe Browsing, Google Transparency Report, Google Search Console and Yandex Webmaster. Safari is the only place showing a warning. The flag appears to be inherited from a previous hosting provider whose IP ranges had reputation problems, and it seems attached to the domain names rather than to the current infrastructure. This is directly testable: On 20 July 2026 all sites were migrated to a new host — a single server, single IP (152.53.119.191). On that exact same server and IP, the domains created AFTER the migration are NOT flagged: filelama.com (live since 28 July, fully indexed), novelisstory.ru (25 July) and store-api.com (4 August). Only the domains that already existed under the previous host are still flagged. Same server, same IP, same certificates, same kind of content. The only variable is whether the domain existed before 20 July. store-api.ru and store-api.com are the clearest case: both are literally the same application behind the same nginx on the same IP, differing only in the domain name. The .ru is flagged, the .com is not. I submitted requests through websitereview.apple.com on 20 July and again on 11 August 2026. Neither produced a response or an acknowledgement, which as I understand is expected behaviour for that form. My questions: Is websitereview.apple.com still the correct — and only — channel for a site owner to dispute a false positive? Is there any way to confirm that a submission was received, or a typical review timeframe I should expect? Would a Feedback Assistant report under Safari add anything here, or would it simply duplicate the request?

Did Instagram just blocked App Store Links?
Is anyone else seeing Instagram fail to open App Store links tonight? Started for me a few hours ago, iOS only. To rule out my own setup I put a bare App Store URL straight in my bio, and I also tapped the App Store links on a few competitors' sites. Same result every time: nothing happens, no error, no page. Same phone, same moment: Safari works, Facebook and YouTube work, TikTok fails. Has Instagram started blocking store links the way TikTok does? If so, it looks like we're back to telling people to tap the ⋯ menu and "Open in external browser" before they can install anything.

Web Push Notification Error on iPad PWA
I am implementing push notifications for a web application running as a PWA on iPad using Web Push. When sending a push notification to the web application, I received a 410 response from the server. I would like to understand the cause and reason for receiving this 410 response. The library used for sending push notifications is a commonly used JavaScript Web Push library. Could you please explain under what circumstances Apple Web Push endpoints return a 410 response, and whether this indicates that the existing push subscription is no longer valid and should be re‑registered.

iCloud private relay issue in macOS 27 Beta 4
Although I have reduced my Mac's MTU to solve the MTU blackhole problem, Safari is quite slow if I enabled iCloud private relay (scenario 1). At the same time, Chrome functions normally. When I turns off iCloud private relay, the Safari's performance improves immediately. Packets captured by tcpdump at a LAN gateway (FreeBSD) shows iCloud private relay uses UDP protocol and doesn't fallback to TCP protocol. If the MTU blackhole is a problem, the connection will switch to TCP protocol, given prior tcpdump captures. I am waiting for macOS 27 Beta 5 but still no update released yet.

"userVerification" is ignored during Passkey Autofill in non-Safari browsers
When using passkeys stored in iCloud Keychain (Passwords app) via Passkey Autofill in browsers other than Safari, the userVerification parameter is ignored and user verification (UV) is not performed. As a result, relying party servers that require userVerification = required fail validation because the UV flag is not set, causing passkey authentication to fail. This issue occurs when the following setting is disabled: Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Use Face ID For → Password AutoFill The issue is reproducible only with the following combination: Non-Safari browsers (e.g. Chrome) Passkeys stored in iCloud Keychain (Passwords app) Passkey Autofill The issue does not occur in the following cases: Safari with passkeys stored in any credential manager Non-Safari browsers using credential managers other than iCloud Keychain Steps to Reproduce: Go to Settings → General → Autofill & Passwords, and enable the Passwords app under “Autofill From”. Go to Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Use Face ID For, and disable “Password AutoFill”. Open Chrome and navigate to https://webauthn.io Enter a username and tap “Register” to create a passkey using the Passwords app (iCloud Keychain). On webauthn.io, go to Advanced Settings → Authentication Settings, and set “User Verification” to “Required”. Reload the page, tap the input field, and perform Passkey Autofill. User Verification is not triggered, and “Authentication failed” is displayed on webauthn.io. === This issue has already been reported via Feedback Assistant as FB21756948. I am posting here to confirm whether this behavior is working as intended or represents a bug, and to make other developers aware of the current behavior.
