I would like to know if there is a way to disable Smart Punctuation from the webpage rather than requiring the user to do so from the settings. Adding a "inputmode=verbatim" attribute to the input HTML tags for my webpage did that for all the web browsers I tested on Windows, Ubuntu, Android, and MacOS. I tested Chrome and Firefox on all platforms, as well as Edge on Windows and Safari on Mac and iOS. So far the only time it did not disable Smart Punctuation was on Safari on iOS, but it did on MacOS.

Hi, We are facing a major issue with our application. We are using FolioReaderkit to read epub files. Currently, it's working on the iOS 18.1 device and simulator, but it's not working on the iOS 18.2 and later version devices. we are facing this error in Folioreaderkit

We are seeing network errors in Outlook mail on iOS and MacOS safari browsers. As per current investigation, we notice these network error when the user tries to use outlook after leaving it open on Safari for a while. Observations: Issue present in both MacOS and iOS safari. Issue is not present in other webkit browsers like brave and edge on iOS. Issue is reproable on both mini and big owa on safari browser. Issue is not related to post requests being sent in different packets on safari browser. Requests are only blocked for outlook.office/outlook.live domains What does not fix this issue? Reloading the application Clearing cookie, local storage or session storage Unregistering service workers Redirecting to a different page and coming back to outlook domain Re authenticating the users What fixes this issue? Reconnecting to wifi or mobile network Reconnecting vpn Removing safari from background and reopening Flushing the dns in setting

We're embedding the Power BI reports into our portal by using JS library. While testing them, we found that mobile layout of the reports don't work as we expect on iOS devices (tested in Chrome and Safari). There are two principals issues: 1) the site is automatically refreshed when the users filter the data (we reduced them to lower expression) and 2) the site also crashes after a while using the dashboard by applying different filters.

I have a local HTML file used to display mixed content with images and text. Here's the issue: the same file displays everything correctly in Google Chrome, showing both images and text as expected. However, when opened in Safari, only the text is shown—images are missing, which is very strange. Interestingly, if I remove .png from the title attribute of the tag, the images show up properly in Safari. Alternatively, if I comment out the inclusion of html2canvas.min.js, the images also display correctly (although the layout breaks without it). I'm not sure if this is a Safari-specific issue. Can anyone explain what might be causing this problem?

I created an App Clip for my app and added the necessary meta tag to my website. When I initially opened the URL in Safari, the App Clip card appeared and worked as expected. However, after tapping "Show in Safari" on the App Clip card once, it never appeared again. Now, I only see the App Clip banner at the top of the page, but the full card does not show up anymore. Is this expected behavior and is there a time limit before it can be shown again?

Good morning fellow developers, For a while i am struggeling with providing sound to my users on IOS (Safari on Mac is no problem and every other device is not a problem) (we have an existing phone system and made a chat as well), the case is very simple: the notification sound is only for users who are logged in and online for chat. i have tried multiple things: Audio play with javascript (start with mute, play when user clicks a button so the sound is familiar, play when user clicks a button and directly pause it and continue when needed) PWA: the dashboard has been made available as pwa and notifications using google firebase. The popup does show for notifcations to be allowed (and receiving the notifications does work on any other device) But any IOS device cannot register. The information i find is that notifications were supported with 16.4 or higher but also have been deprecated around IOS 17, auto play is not allowed. We have an app in development for our product as well were we will have a notification which will handle this, but that is not the solution we can use now. Long story, short question: is it still somehow possible to push a notification to the user when using the PWA or play a sound in the browser (based on an ajax function). The app/website wont be in the background, so it will always be on the screen. Languages we use: html/javascript (mostly vanilla)/php

Since Safari requires a macOS app as a container for Web Extensions, is there a way to establish native messaging directly from SafariWebExtensionHandler using stdin/stdout? Or does Safari enforce a different communication mechanism? I’d like to keep the same approach as other browsers. Any guidance on making this work would be appreciated!

I'm trying to use ES6 module imports in a Safari Web Extension, but despite enabling "type": "module" in the manifest, imports are not functioning as expected. Specifically when working with a project structure that includes multiple directories. A root directory containing the manifest.json and main entry point scripts A scripts/ folder housing core functionality modules A common/ directory for shared utilities, constants, and helper functions A background.js file in the root that attempts to import from these various directories When trying to import modules from the scripts/ and common/ directories into my background.js, I'm encountering complete import failures. How can I correctly implement cross-directory module imports in Safari Web Extensions?

After upgrading to Xcode 15.2 or above(Till Xcode 16.2), users are unable to open Site B (HTTP URL) from Site A (HTTP URL) within our Browser app when loaded in WKWebView. Clicking the link to Site B results in a spinning wheel, but the site does not load. This issue is not present when the app is built with Xcode 15.0.1. Additionally: Users are connected to a VPN, which is required to access the sites. Site A and Site B are on different domains (cross-domain request). Expected Behavior: Clicking the link to Site B should successfully load the site with user information passed from Site A. Current Behavior: Clicking the link results in a spinning wheel, but Site B does not load inside WKWebView. Technical Details: Both Site A and Site B use HTTP (not HTTPS). Site A and Site B have different domains (cross-domain request). Do not use location.href for transitions. Instead, we temporarily set about:blank in an iframe and then submit data via a form to the target system’s URL within the iframe. This approach worked in Xcode 15.0.1 but fails in Xcode 15.2 or above. Users are connected to a VPN, which is required to access the sites. WKWebview is not receiving navigation delegate callback for Site B Steps to Reproduce: Ensure the device is connected to a VPN. Open the app (using WKWebView) built with Xcode 15.2 or above. Load Site A (HTTP) within the app in WKWebView. Click the link to Site B (HTTP), which should open in an iframe. Observe that a spinning wheel appears, but Site B does not load. Environment: Xcode Versions Affected: 15.2 or above (issue present), 15.0.1 (no issue) iOS Version: All iOS versions Devices: iPad Questions: Has there been any change in WKWebView’s handling of HTTP URLs or VPN-related network traffic in Xcode 15.2? Are there any new security policies, iframe restrictions, or VPN-related changes in this version that might be affecting this behavior? Request for Assistance: Can you confirm if this is a known issue or an intended change? Are there any workarounds available?

From a mail app or similar, when opening a webpage in Safari as an external browser, JavaScript on the webpage stops running if Safari goes into the background. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Sample code for the counter: Behavior: Upon returning from the background, the counter continues for about 7-8 seconds but does not progress further. For example, if Safari is kept in the background for about 20 seconds and then brought back, the counter stops at around 7-8 seconds and only resumes counting after returning to the foreground. Expectation: The counter should continue running even if Safari goes into the background.

Background On iOS 18.4 beta, setting a content inset on a WKWebView causes touch events inside the web view to be offset by the content inset amount. In other words, if the web view has a top content inset of 75 points, I must tap 75 points above the intended element for the touch to register correctly. This makes any web content unusable when a content inset is present. A sample app demonstrating the issue is available here: GitHub - iOS18.4-Webview-Bug. The issue does not occur in iOS 18.3 or 18.2. Bug Report The bug has been reported and fixed at WebKit Bug 289715 and also filed as rdar://147075945. Question Will the fix be included in the upcoming iOS 18.4 beta release (Beta 5) or soon thereafter?

I am calling fetch with a POST on page1 in Safari. No special cache parameters on the fetch call. The response from the server is a 303 redirect to page2 The second page -- page2 -- is in my browser's cache with cache-control "public, max-age=31536000, immutable". For some reason, the page2 redirect is causing a server hit to re-GET the second page every time instead of pulling from cache. If I instead directly get the second page by doing a fetch on page2, there is no server hit. If I do this on Chrome or Firefox, it behaves as I would expect, pulling page2 from the cache with no server hit. In case it matters, the fetch is coming from within an iFrame. Also, if I change the original POST to a GET, the problem still happens. I am using a pretty old version of Safari on my Mac, so I could chalk it up to that, but I am getting the same behavior with Safari on my iPhone with iOS 18.3.2 Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey team, I've integrated custom WkWebsiteDatastore to manage profiling for different sessions. upon testing the WkWebsiteDataStore as its mentioned to be persistent But The storage can be accessed via identifier, But the session data in storage is absent, such as cookies caches all are cleared when app is relaunched is it the default behavior to be expected or there is some property missing causing the session data to be removed from storage.

Is this symbol, which Safari uses to the left of the address bar, in the public SF Symbols set? What's it called?

I have a business scenario where I want to guide users to Safari and open a Safari extension. How can I open Safari from my app and navigate to a specific webpage?

Hello! While working with the new Apple Pay SDK for iOS 18, I encountered a bug. When using the Ukrainian language, in the modal displaying the QR code, I noticed that there is a missing bracket for the year variable. This causes incorrect data to be displayed in the QR code. This seems to be a localization issue specifically with the Ukrainian language in the new SDK, as the bug does not occur with other languages like English. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice or information on this bug would be appreciated. Thanks!

Anybody succeeded sending a Web Push Message using the new Declarative approach introduced with Safari Version 18.4 (20621.1.14.11.3)? I will help as well if someone can point me to a solution debugging the entire system using Xcode and Minibrowser? Currently I can't get the MiniBrowser connected to the WebPush Daemon.
