safari push notification endpoint always empty
Hi, I implemented push notifications on my PWA, and it work fine with all browsers except with Safari. I followed all the recommendations given by Brady Eidson in this video : Meet Web Push for Safari And the result is that all the push notification process work fine with others browsers, from the subscription to the notification delivery and display. But with Safari the endpoint is always empty and I do not understand why. No error is triggered during subscription. Just the result is a subscription with an empty endpoint. I have the same result on iPad, iPhone and iMac. Everything is working well with others browsers or with android smartphone. But contrary to what Brady Eidson promised in his video, it does not work with Safari.

Overlay appears in fullscreen mode in Safari when video is paused - how to prevent this via JavaScript
When a video in Safari is played in fullscreen mode and the user pauses it, an overlay (such as a play button or other controls) appears. This affects the user experience, as we want to avoid showing the overlay during fullscreen viewing after the video is paused. Expected Behavior: The overlay should not appear after the video is paused in fullscreen mode. Steps to Reproduce: Open a webpage https://slides-dev.pitchavatar.com/rtxuf in Safari. Start playing the video. Enter fullscreen mode. Pause the video. The overlay appears after the video is paused. Screenshot: Additional Information: Safari version: Safari 18.0.1 (20619.1.26.31.7) Environment: macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 (24A348) We would like to know if there is there any way to prevent the overlay from appearing in Safari when the video is paused in fullscreen mode.

Crashing in WKWebview Often, when the video is loaded in the webview using an HTML file
Hello, Team. We used WKWebView for our project. We loaded the HTML file into the webview and added the following configuration. weak var webView: WKWebView! func configWebView() { let webViewConfig = WKWebViewConfiguration() let controller = WKUserContentController() controller.add(self, name: "sometest") webViewConfig.userContentController = controller webViewConfig.processPool = WKProcessPool() webViewConfig.setValue(true, forKey: "allowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs") webViewConfig.mediaTypesRequiringUserActionForPlayback = [] let webpagePreferences = WKWebpagePreferences() webpagePreferences.allowsContentJavaScript = true webViewConfig.defaultWebpagePreferences = webpagePreferences webViewConfig.websiteDataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default() webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webViewConfig) webView.navigationDelegate = self webView.uiDelegate = self webView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(webView) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ webView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), webView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor), webView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), webView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor) ]) loadWebView() } func loadWebView() { guard let documentsDirectoryURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first else { return } let contentFolderURL = documentsDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent("content") let assetFolderURL = contentFolderURL.appendingPathComponent(interactiveGUID) if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: assetFolderURL.path) { let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).first! let documentsURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: documentsPath) let fileToLoadPath = (documentsPath as NSString).appendingPathComponent("content/index_p.html") let fileURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: fileToLoadPath) autoreleasepool { DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in guard let self = self else { return } self.webView.loadFileURL(fileURL, allowingReadAccessTo: documentsURL) } } } We are experiencing webview crashes when loading an HTML file. What happened when I loaded the video file? It automatically looped. Webview frequently crashes when the HTM/JS file is loaded. When a webview crashes, the delegate method usually calls webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate. This method calls webview.reload(). Also we are clear and cache/ deallocate eveything when i initialized those configuration mentioned as the above. Can you suggest a solution to this? Why is webview crashing? Thank you.

HTML input onChange Event Triggered Multiple Times with Korean Multilingual Keyboard in iOS 18
Description: When using a multilingual keyboard that includes Korean in iOS 18, the input element's onChange event is triggered multiple times instead of just once. This issue occurs not only when entering numbers with input type="tel" or inputMode="numeric", but also when entering text with input type="text". This causes unexpected behavior in forms and other input-related functionalities. Affected Devices and OS Version: Device: iPhone 16 Pro OS Version: iOS 18.0 You can reproduce the issue with this CodeSandbox example: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/elegant-dream-jnqh39 Steps to reproduce: Use a multilingual keyboard (e.g., Korean and English) on iOS 18. Type some text into the input field (input type="text"). Also try entering numbers using input type="tel" or inputMode="numeric". Observe that the onChange event is fired multiple times for both text and numeric input. Expected behavior: The onChange event should only be triggered once when text or numeric input changes. Additional Information: This issue has been reported under feedback ID FB15377631. Currently waiting for a response from Apple regarding this feedback.

Adding a Safari Extension to Capacitor iOS App as an Application Extension
Hello everyone, I’m working on adding a Safari extension as an application extension to an iOS app created using Capacitor (generated from a React app). My goal is to bundle the Safari extension within the Capacitor app, allowing it to serve as a companion app for the extension. However, I’ve run into issues where the extension does not show up in Safari's extension settings when I run the app on a device or simulator. Here's an overview of what I’ve done so far: I initially used Capacitor’s command line tools to generate the iOS app from my React project. This app runs fine on its own. To add the Safari extension, I’m not developing a platform-specific extension from scratch; instead, I used the Xcode command line to convert a Chrome extension to a Safari iOS extension. The converted extension functions correctly if paired with the default Swift app that comes with the conversion. Right now, I effectively have two products: The base Capacitor app (without the extension), which I want as my main app. The standalone Safari extension bundled with the Swift app (from the conversion process). My question is: How can I merge these two products so that the Capacitor app becomes the companion app for the Safari extension, allowing the extension to show up in Safari's settings? Are there specific configurations I should adjust in Xcode or within the manifest files to make this work seamlessly? Any guidance or best practices from others who have integrated Safari extensions into non-Xcode-based projects would be much appreciated! Thank you!

iOS18 Safari: Page content loses focus after switching to a new tab with chrome.tabs.update
Hi, I have a Safari extension that works well in iOS before 18, which can switch to a different tab with chrome.tabs.update back and forth by keyboard shortcuts. With iOS 18, as Page content loses its focus, it is impossible to trigger content script directly, I have to manually touch screen to put focus back to page content so that keystroke can trigger my content script to talk with background to call chrome.tabs.update to switch back. Please bring focus to page content after switching to a new tab with chrome.tabs.update.

WKWebView crashes after repeated reloads on iOS 18
Hi! I have a rather complicated SwiftUI browser app with a WKWebView. There is an option to reload the website after a configurable amount of time. Starting with iOS 18, the app crashes after repeated reloads. How many reloads that are required depends on the device, sometimes 100, sometimes 1000. Reloading is done via a timer that triggers the following code on the main thread: let request = URLRequest(url: url, cachePolicy: policy) self.parent.webView.load(request) The URL is configurable and cachePolicy can be either .reloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData or .useProtocolCachePolicy How the crash affects the device also differs from device to device and from time to time. I have suffered from the following crashtypes: App is killed App is killed and Safari also stops working App is killed and the whole OS is really slow The WKWebView stops loading and hangs at 20%. The device is rebooted My app has an option to disable cache. Cache is disabled by setting cachePolicy to .reloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData and by removing all cache in a rather complicated way. Basicly i'm doing something like this: dataStore.removeData(ofTypes: types, modifiedSince: Date.distantPast, completionHandler: nil) if let klazz = NSClassFromString("Web" + "History"), let clazz = klazz as AnyObject as? NSObjectProtocol { if clazz.responds(to: Selector(("optional" + "Shared" + "History"))) { if let webHistory = clazz.perform(Selector(("optional" + "Shared" + "History"))) { let o = webHistory.takeUnretainedValue() _ = o.perform(Selector(("remove" + "All" + "Items"))) } } } if let cachesPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.cachesDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).first { let contents = (try? FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(atPath: cachesPath)) ?? [] for file in contents { if foldersToDelete.contains(file) { let path = cachesPath.appending("/").appending(file) do { try FileManager.default.removeItem(atPath: path) } catch { print("Can't delete cache file: \(path), error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } } The cache state affects the intensity of the crash. Disabling the cache shortens the time the app is working, while enabling the cache reduces the intensity of the bug. Based on my investigation, I suspect that loading a website in a WKWebVew leaks memory in iOS 18. If the whole website needs to be requested (= caching off), it results in a more significant memory leak and a faster crash time. Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a potential workaround?

how to prevent YouTube app from opening.
Hello I am having issues where when I open a link to YouTube in a wkwebview it opens up the installed YouTube app. I have tried my own way of blocking the opening of the YouTube app but it seems I'm stuck. Is there a way to prevent certain apps from opening automatically from links clicked on or traveled to? Here is what I have so far. guard let url = navigationAction.request.url else { decisionHandler(.cancel) return } //not sure why this code is not being used... // Check if the navigation is a link click with target="_blank" if navigationAction.targetFrame == nil { // Handle the navigation request to open a new window if let url = navigationAction.request.url { // UIApplication.shared.open(url) //opens in safari.... let request = URLRequest(url: url) webView.load(request) decisionHandler(.cancel) return } } // Continue with the navigation if not a link with target="_blank" if url.scheme == "youtube" || url.scheme == "music" { decisionHandler(.cancel) return } //this should cancel app opening for youtube:// links and apple music. // if let url = navigationAction.request.url { // // Allow Google sign-in redirects // if url.absoluteString.contains("accounts.google.com") || url.absoluteString.contains("gstatic.com") { // decisionHandler(.allow) // return // } // } if url.absoluteString.hasPrefix("http") { decisionHandler(.allow) return } if let url = navigationAction.request.url { if shouldDownloadFile(from:url) { // if navigationAction.navigationType == .other, let mimeType = navigationAction.request.allHTTPHeaderFields?["Content-Type"], mimeType.contains("application/pdf") { downloadFile (from: url) decisionHandler(.cancel) return } } decisionHandler(.allow) }

iOS Simulator Safari JS PushManager.subscribe(...) empty keys
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?

iPadOSにおけるChromeブラウザとWKWebView API利用時のWebRTCカメラアクセスに関する問い合わせ
私たちはJavaアプリケーション開発者で、iPadOS上でのWebRTCによるカメラアクセスに関して、iPadOS 17.1での挙動について質問がございます。 具体的には、iPadOS 17.1でChromeブラウザを利用し、WKWebView API経由でカメラにアクセスしようとした際、エラーが発生し、カメラ撮影が実行できない現象が発生しております。弊社の調査では、WKWebView APIのnavigator.mediaDevicesプロパティを通じたデバイスアクセスが、Chromeで動作しない可能性が示唆されました。しかし、Safariブラウザでは正常に動作するため、Chromeに固有の制限があるのか、またはiPadOSの設定や仕様に起因するのか判断しかねております。 現在、iPadOS 17.1でのカメラアクセスに関するWKWebViewとWebRTCの仕様やChromeでの制約について、ご見解や解決策についてご教示いただけますと幸いです。 どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Safari - cookie setting default behavior in iOS 18
Hello! I have a question about changes in default behavior of Safari related to cookie setting. We had an issue - our Single Sign On login was not working, because of lost cookie on some step of the flow. Only changes in Safari cross-website tracking settings helped to fix the issue So the question is - are there any official documentation about changes in cookie setting policy in Safari on iOS 18?

Does Safari Web Push require a paid Apple Developer account (doubt with certificate)?
I need to implement push notifications in Safari. I already have a web app that can be added to the home screen. When researching push notifications in Safari, one of the things I found was that you don't need to be part of the Apple Developer Program to use this feature (text here). But when checking the requirements within the platforms, such as Pusher, they require a type of certificate that can only be generated with a paid account, that is, I need to participate in the Apple Developer Program. Pusher documentation: https://pusher.com/docs/beams/getting-started/web/configure-safari/ Now, I have many questions: Do I really need a paid account to issue the certificate? Can I issue the certificate via the web or only on a Mac? Do I really need this certificate?

Apple Map Snapshot API broken??
I have been using the following python library to generate apple map snapshots. has worked fine until about ~12 hours ago - now all I'm getting is "bad request" for any snapshot with overlays. if it's just a snapshot with a defined center and no polyline overlays, it still works. perhaps something has changed with the api's way of parsing percent encoded parameters? it's super irritating that there's no changelog or source code to view. what the heck??? https://pypi.org/project/mapsnap/
