Bit of an odd one here, just keen to understand if it’s just me or a more generic issue. For all other apps, I can drag the icon from the dock to place into stage manager left, centre or right. However when I try to do the same with Safari (and only Safari), it just doesn’t work at all. I can repeat this 100%, has been an issue with 26.0, 26.1 and now 26.2. Can confirm this isn’t a problem on my 11” M4 iPad pro running same O/S. Here is a video showing the issue (YouTube) https://youtu.be/0WBGBZVHsfs

I am trying to cache fonts natively in a hybrid app, so that CSS hosted in an https website loaded in WKWebView through loadRequest can reference them like this for a performance boost: @font-face { font-family: 'MyFont'; src: url('my-assets://Gordita-bold-subset.woff') format('woff'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } The problem happens when I register a WKURLSchemeHandler for my-assets. The handler never gets called and the Safari Web Insepctor shows this: [blocked] The page at https://www.x.com/ requested insecure content from my-assets://Gordita-bold-subset.woff. This content was blocked and must be served over HTTPS. Interestingly enough, if we try to serve content with <img src="my-assets://test.png" this restriction does not apply. Are there any workarounds other than using the private API WKProcessPool._registerURLSchemeAsSecure?

I created a form field using: On Safari and Chrome desktop, it behaves as expected. Safari shows the current date in grey by default, and Chrome displays a format hint like dd.mm.yyyy, which is perfectly fine. On iOS, however, the field appears completely blank. I understand that the placeholder attribute is not part of the iOS date input behavior, which is technically fine. Still, it would be helpful if developers had the option to define a default display value. In the past, browsers prefilled date inputs, but many developers objected because they needed the field to be empty by default. I have searched extensively and tried several AI tools, and everywhere it says that this cannot be changed. Am I missing something, or is there any way to display a placeholder, the current date, or some kind of visual hint in iOS Safari? Right now, the empty field creates poor UX because users may overlook it. Since the field is required, this can easily lead to validation errors and additional friction. As a workaround, I used a CSS hack with input[type="date"]::before and a content attribute. I also added JavaScript to toggle a pseudo-placeholder value specifically for iOS. Is there a cleaner solution that avoids this workaround? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Hi! I'm working on a web extension for Safari and I need to send messages from the containing application to JavaScript. For this I use the method class func dispatchMessage( withName messageName: String, toExtensionWithIdentifier identifier: String, userInfo: [String : Any]? = nil ) async throws of the SFSafariApplication class. If the site is opened in Safari in normal mode, everything works as expected. However, if the site is "docked", the messages are not transmitted to this "Web App". Is it possible to somehow link the container application to the docked website so that messages from the application are received by this "Web App"? That you.

Hello, why is Safari blocking my domains? https://fitgel.ru https://fittoma.ru https://ohota.pro There are no errors in them, other browsers respond normally.

I integrated Apple Pay on the web following the documentation, and verified that the payment works successfully in the sandbox environment using Safari on iOS and Mac. Later, I launched the Apple Pay payment code on a third-party web page that supports Apple Pay, and scanned the code with the camera of an eligible iOS device. The camera then displayed the Apple Pay button; after tapping it, a brief pop-up message saying ‘Service Unavailable’ appeared, and then it closed automatically. How can I troubleshoot and resolve this issue?

Hello everyone, I am currently working on integrating a WebView into my macOS application, intended to allow users to browse tutorial webpages directly within the app. Although I’ve followed an example that appears syntactically correct, the WebView does not render any webpage content. Below is a code snippet for reference: import SwiftUI import WebKit struct HelpWebView: View { @State private var toggle = false @State private var page = WebPage() private var url: URL { toggle ? URL(string: "https://www.webkit.org")! : URL(string: "https://www.swift.org")! } var body: some View { WebView(page) .onAppear { page.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } .onChange(of: toggle) { page.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } .toolbar { Button("Reload", systemImage: "arrow.clockwise") { toggle.toggle() } } } } I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on what might be causing this issue or how to resolve it. Thank you in advance for your help!

I recently noticed that putting the app on background for some time, then switching back to it again causes the WKWebView to reload the current page, same with just hitting f5 on it. How do we disable this behavior?

In my application, I use HTML pages to display the interface. Since it’s a cross-platform app, the pages and interactions work properly on other platforms. However, in WebKit, because HTTPS protocol is used, JS requests from the page cannot use the ws protocol but must use the wss protocol under HTTPS. Is there any way to allow a webpage under HTTPS to use ws requests normally? Google Chrome can do this.

If we use webView.loadFileURL(indexURL, allowingReadAccessTo: readAccessURL) on an iPad it loads the data and navigation works. But if we place two hands on top of the screen and move a bit, all click events are not working anymore. It works again if we call loadFileURL again. We filled a bug report: FB19812304

We are using WKWebView to load content from a local server. On specific iPhones running the latest iOS, the web view gets stuck on the loading state. We confirmed this is a system-wide networking issue because the same URL also fails to load in mobile Safari. Workaround: The only way to restore connectivity to the local host is to reboot the iPhone. this happens on last iOs releases on some iPhones with ios 26.2 and 26.3

Hello there, For a video like this <video src="blob:safari-web-extension://***" autoplay="" loop="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover; z-index: -1;"></video>, no matter if its local or remote, blob or mp4 files, is constantly being reloaded (refetched? revalidated?) if the loop tag is added. I can confirm there is actual constant traffic from the server based on my server logs. I am running iOS/macOS 26.

Starting with iOS 26.2, when Safari tabs are set to Bottom or Compact view, some pages are not rendering properly. The error does not occur in Top view. For some pages, scrolling causes rendering to be very slow, causing the user to experience page breaks and missing parts. If the user waits a few seconds, the missing parts of the page will appear, but the issue will reoccur when scrolling further. We have tested this on all available iOS devices and the issue occurs on all iPhones running iOS 26.2. The issue does not occur on iOS 26.1, and we have not experienced it on devices running iOS 18. The issue can be reproduced on the following pages with an iPhone running iOS 26.2: https://fotosakademia.hu/products/course/fotografia-kozephaladoknak-haladoknak https://oktatas.kurzusguru.hu/products/course/az-online-kurzuskeszites-alapjai

Posting this here since Apple Discussion Forums kept deleting this citing it was a "developer issue" even though it's not and there's no way to appeal. Can someone help me? I can't get 2FA SMS/Email Codes to autofill in Brave or Chrome as of this writing. Has anyone else had this issue?

There appears to be a regression or restriction in iOS 26.2 and 26.2.1 regarding the Web Authentication API in third-party browsers (browsers other than Safari). Specifically, the method PublicKeyCredential.isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable() returns false when called from within non-Safari browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) on iOS, even when the device supports biometrics (FaceID/TouchID) and Passkeys are enabled. This prevents third-party browsers from correctly detecting Platform Authenticator availability, leading websites to hide Passkey login options or default to cross-device authentication flows instead of using the local device's biometric authenticator. Environment: OS: iOS 26.2, iOS 26.2.1 Device: iPhone 17 Browsers Tested: Chrome iOS and Firefox iOS Steps to Reproduce: Launch Safari on an iOS device running iOS 26.2+. Navigate to https://www.passkeys-debugger.io/. Observe that "Platform Auth" is highlighted in Green (true), indicating the device is eligible for passkey authentication. Launch a non-Safari browser (e.g., Chrome or Firefox) on the same device. Navigate to https://www.passkeys-debugger.io/. Expected Results: "Platform Auth" should be Green (true), matching the behavior in Safari, as the device possesses a built-in platform authenticator. Actual Results: "Platform Auth" is highlighted in Red (false). Impact: This discrepancy fragments the Passkey user experience on iOS. Users preferring third-party browsers are unable to utilize the seamless on-device biometric authentication that is available in Safari. It forces developers to implement complex fallbacks or results in users believing their device is incompatible with Passkeys.

Hello all, As you may know, the company ProofPoint is an Apple partner, and is engaged (I think) to reduce misuse of icloud emails. We have two servers solely set up for our web-app, which is a specialised forum for apartment owners. The new servers were established about the same time, with the same provider, with clean new IP addresses - and as mentioned above, are only used for this web-app. During a testing phase a YEAR ago, we became aware that our in-house icloud emails weren't receiving notifications via the app, and further investigations revealed that the cause was that ProofPoint had placed a block on that server's IP. We immediately, via their website form initiated a Support Ticket, which, the site indicated was lodged, BUT we have never received any response to that Ticket, nor have we received any response to four subsequent Tickets we initiated - nothing. In over a year!! Yesterday, we contacted Apple support, but the devices area of support is the main section and they said it wasn't an issue they could assist with. Some relevant matters: SPF: DKIM: DMARC: are, I believe all configured correctly (and Gmail gives a PASS to all of them). The IP is not blacklisted by any list we are aware of. Our other server's IP isn't blocked by ProofPoint. So, literally at wits end, I'm reaching out to the developer subscribers here to see if they have any suggestions for us. We currently are unable to accept any new subscriber that is using an icloud email address, and that's an absurd situation to be in. Surely we don't have to go to the trouble and inconvenience of obtaining a new IP because of this!!! But when we can't get ANY response to the Support Tickets, it's really hard. Thanks

The extension popups don't seem to support the dark mode media query. The only way the query gets detected is when a color-scheme is added: <meta name="color-scheme"content="light dark">

window.location.href = "tel:02-xxxx-xxxx" Can the development team modify the screen text? Or can the country code be erased? What are the reasons for continuing to be "on the phone" if the country code is automatically attached to the phone like this?
