Title: SafariViewService Recurring "Hard Refresh" Issue on iOS 18.0.1
Hello,
Many of my app users are experiencing a recurring "hard refresh" issue related to SafariViewService, which appears only on iOS 18.0.1 across various iPhone models. Users on earlier iOS versions are not encountering this problem.
Our app relies on SafariViewService, and the logs show an event triggered by an EXC_GUARD exception with a termination reason from LIBXPC, causing the app to stop. Below are key details from the log report:
App Version: 4.1.2 (build 4.1.1.0)
OS Version: iPhone OS 18.0.1
Exception Type: EXC_GUARD
Subtype: GUARD_TYPE_USER
Termination Reason: LIBXPC, XPC_EXIT_REASON_FAULT
Device Model: iPhone 11 Pro Max
Process Path: [Removed]
Here’s an excerpt from the logs:
...
{"codes":"0x6000000000000007, 0x0000000000000009","reason":9,"message":"namespc 7 reason_code 0x0000000000000009","subtype":"GUARD_TYPE_USER","type":"EXC_GUARD","rawCodes":[Removed],"namespc":7},
"termination" : {"flags":518,"code":9,"namespace":"LIBXPC","indicator":"XPC_EXIT_REASON_FAULT"},
...
I would greatly appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue, particularly if there are known concerns with inter-process communication (LIBXPC) in iOS 18.0.1 or advice on how to manage the EXC_GUARD exception more effectively.
Full log details are in the attachment.
Thank you for your help!

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
We used declarativeNetRequest.getMatchedRules() to retrieve the blocked URLs. While we do receive a list, we noticed that the URLs captured do not always reflect the ones the content blocker is actively blocking at that moment. However, upon reloading the same page, the correct URLs appear.
Screenshots are attached for your reference.

Hi, I had been working on an extension without any issues, running it from Xcode and debugging locally in Safari. However, without making any code changes, and after uninstalling the extension, it stopped appearing in Safari after building for local debugging. Does anyone know what might be happening or how I can clean up the system?
Thanks a lot and best regards.

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 got a second-hand have MacBook Pro and sometimes when I run apps the Mac will start popping every 10-30 minutes. I'm not sure if this is something that happens normally because this is an intel MacBook. If someone knows the answer to my question then please respond
Thanks!

Hello, during the development of my website, I discovered that when there are numerous or large WebP images on the screen, the screen keeps flickering, accompanied by the phenomenon of mobile phone heating. The page returns to normal after converting to PNG. It seems that the issue is caused by the update of IOS 18. Could you please assist me in taking a look?
PNG (it works)

WebP (it doesn't work)
https://static.xdbbtswu.com/bbt_of/assets/test/nogood/#/
We have a web-based viewer which makes use of device orientation.
The permission box only appears on a “touch” and not on a swipe or pinch. Is this normal?
We’ve already tried different listeners: start, end etc but it’s still only initiated the permission request upon a physical touch / tap on screen.
Any ideas / suggestions would be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
I have a working Apple Pay transaction page that works on Safari. But with the new ios 18 update and Apple Pay JS library. I see that a pop up sheet with the scannable code is shown on chrome browser. I tried that.
Upon scanning the code with iPhone 15 pro max. The apple pay payment sheet is shown on the phone but with an error Service Unavailable. What do I have to do to make it work? What went wrong? I checked the logs and have no clue of what is failing.
I've been having this problem ever since updating my Mac (2024 M3 Macbook Air) to Sequoia where splitscreen basically doesn't work. By "splitscreen," I'm referring to when I hover over the green button in the top left of my browser, go to "full screen", and choose two browsers to see simultaneously. What's happening is that the screens will split, then whichever browser's green button I used will have the tabs stuck in full screen formation. Say I have 5 tabs open on a Chrome browser and I split the screen with finder using the green button on the Chrome browser. The 2 right-most tabs on Chrome will be cut off into oblivion, and only the first 3 will be visible, but if I try to click them, they don't go to the right place. Clicking in the general location of where the 5 tabs SHOULD be in the minimized screen does yield the change of tab, but I can't actually SEE the tabs in their minimized form. I've attached a screenshot because I know it's probably hard to understand what I'm saying. This also doesn't occur 100% of the time, only like 95% of the time. Lol.

Hello,
I can't figure out how to set the name of a Content Blocker in the Safari extensions list. So far, the Content Blocker name in this list is the Contaning application name.
I tried to set the bundle name in Info.plist and tried to locate Info.plist, without success...
Since I also bundle a Safari ("chrome") extension, I have two extensions in the list, and it would be fine to display a specific name for each to make it clear for the user.
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.
When I access my website through Safari, I see Deceptive Warning. My website has only html with no styles, just text and my contacts leading to github-like services. I also have an SSL certificate.
At the same time, going through online ios emulators, there is no warning, I checked through different versions of ios.
I sent many requests to websitereview, but personally I get such a warning.

The behavior has changed when specifying an xlsx file in the src of iframe in my PWA app.
On iPadOS 17.3:Content of xlsx file shown in iframe
On iPadOS 17.5.1:A screen appears on top of the original screen to select an app to open the xlsx file.
I would like to restore the original behavior, but how can I do that?
In addition, if i open and operate the same URL as the one opened in the PWA app in Safari on iPadOS 17.5.1, "download test.xlsx dialog" is open and the dialog has view or download buttons.
If the behavior has changed to same to safari on iPadOS17.5.1, it is good for me.

This is problematic when opening links to other websites that require separate authentication. A typical example would be a Gmail web app, and then trying to open a link to a GitHub PR.
In the 18.0 release notes, this is mentioned as
Added support for opening links directly in web apps on macOS. (113034778
It'd be great if this could be customizable so that one could choose the old behavior.
Hello,
I'm currently facing some issues with localization for the Safari extension on iOS:
Issues with Language Tags:
Folder names like pt-BR (Brazilian Portuguese) and pt-PT (European Portuguese) placed in the Resources/_locales/ directory are not displaying the respective languages correctly; instead, the default English is shown.
Similarly, using folder names like zh-CN (Simplified Chinese) and zh-TW (Traditional Chinese) also results in default English display instead of the intended Chinese language.
Conversely, when changing the folder names to pt (Portuguese general) and zh (Chinese general), the languages display correctly.
Could you please provide any recommendations or tips regarding language tag settings and how to ensure they are properly recognized according to RFC 5646?
Thanks for your help!
Best,
I am building Safari extension. In my background script I am setting badge text and title like this:
browser.action.setBadgeText({text: badgeText, tabId: tabId});
browser.action.setTitle({title: badgeText + " found images", tabId: tabId})
, where tabId is correct id of current tab.
I was expecting that in this way I am setting a different badge and title for different tabs, so that badge and title would automatically switch if I activate different tab. However this does not happen, badge and title behave as if set globaly and don't change with tabs. How is this expected to work?
I have also tried to set badge globally, and update it every time user switches a tab. I have set up listener like this:
browser.tabs.onActivated.addListener(function(actInfo) {
console.log("switched tab to " + actInfo.tabId);
});
, however the event never fires, tab switch is never logged in console.
Am I doing something wrong here?

On Safari, when using the column-count CSS property to split text into multiple columns, I've noticed that when applying a text-shadow, there is an unexpected whitespace created above all subsequent columns. I've put together a codepen demonstrating the issue and its reproducibility on Safari (using latest as of this posting: Version 17.6 (19618.3.11.11.5))
Codepen: https://codepen.io/cubepresser/pen/ExqvzjL
Expected behavior:
Actual:
I tested this on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Edge. This bug does not occur.
Expected behavior is that there should not be an extra line added to the beginning of the second column, third column, etc.
Here's some code if that codepen link doesn't work:
HTML:
<p id="example">0000000000111111111122222222223333333333</p>
CSS:
#example {
font-family: monospace;
max-width: 20ch;
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 0;
word-break: break-all;
line-break: anywhere;
text-shadow: 0 0 4px black;
}
