I'm developing an application that makes use of a WebView. When resuming the app I occasionally run into an issue where the application just shows as a blank page. In the Console.app I see a stack trace, however the details are hidden (see below). The stack trace is thrown from JavaScriptCore. default 13:37:07.029261+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 1 0x1b80cd678 <private> default 13:37:07.029360+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 2 0x1b7d50e30 <private> default 13:37:07.029369+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 3 0x1047ec800 <private> default 13:37:07.029539+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 4 0x1b7d37924 <private> default 13:37:07.029548+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 5 0x1b8102a78 <private> default 13:37:07.029789+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 6 0x1b8100cb8 <private> default 13:37:07.029834+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 7 0x1b7ba7b0c <private> default 13:37:07.029851+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 8 0x1b879a520 <private> default 13:37:07.029870+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 9 0x1b817f204 <private> default 13:37:07.030159+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 10 0x1b76bfce8 <private> default 13:37:07.030186+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 11 0x1b76ad838 <private> default 13:37:07.030245+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 12 0x1b76bd76c <private> default 13:37:07.030324+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 13 0x1b22c827c <private> default 13:37:07.030424+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 14 0x1b22c8034 <private> default 13:37:07.030461+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 15 0x19d6df230 <private> default 13:37:07.030514+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 16 0x19d6df1a4 <private> default 13:37:07.030584+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 17 0x19d6bcc6c <private> default 13:37:07.030592+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 18 0x19d6928b0 <private> default 13:37:07.030601+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 19 0x19d691c44 <private> default 13:37:07.030607+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 20 0x23ca6e498 GSEventRunModal default 13:37:07.030675+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 21 0x1a300cddc <private> default 13:37:07.031049+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 22 0x1a2fb1b0c UIApplicationMain default 13:37:07.031064+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 23 0x104a76278 <private> default 13:37:07.031070+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 24 0x1047a0064 <private> default 13:37:07.031254+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 25 0x104781efc <private> default 13:37:07.031343+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 26 0x1047493e0 <private> default 13:37:07.031352+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 27 0x10477e1c8 <private> default 13:37:07.031358+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 28 0x1047a0184 <private> default 13:37:07.031373+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 29 0x1047a033c <private> default 13:37:07.031409+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 30 0x104733724 <private> default 13:37:07.031451+0200 outlinerrs_dioxus 31 0x104464e98 <private> I tried to create com.apple.WebKit.plist in /Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems with the following contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>DEFAULT-OPTIONS</key> <dict> <key>Enable-Private-Data</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> </plist> Does anyone know how to reveal the hidden logs?

The issue of fixed elements with { bottom: 0 } moving up when scrolling still persists. It seems to be a general issue with the IOS 26 release. It affects other browser too. I tested on browsers such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Bravo. With the exception of Edge, all the others display the behavior. Device: iPhone 15 Pro IOS Version: 26.0.1

"The Safari web extension packager enables you to package and distribute your Safari extensions using App Store Connect from any web browser, without requiring a Mac or access to Xcode." I upload the unzipped folder I'd test in Chrome://extensions to the Safari web extension packager in App store connect. I get error: Embedded binary's bundle identifier is not prefixed with the parent app's bundle identifier. The only solution i've seen to this error involves xcode/a mac, being without which doesn't help

Hi folks!! Anyone here experienced issues with video not showing up in webview? I have a simple index.html with a video tag but its doesn't load why?

This is a really strange issue on iOS Safari. Under certain conditions a basic input element will not be focusable or show the on screen keyboard. I can reproduce the issue with a very simple HTML file by dynamically adding an anchor element with an href during a touch event. If you add a different element or an anchor without an href, there is no issue. Similarly, if you apply the same listener to a click event there is no issue. Reproducible in iOS Simulator 17.2 and 18.1 This HTML/JS showcases the problem: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>InputIssue</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> </head> <body> <div id="parent"> <input type="text" name="test" /> <div id="child"></div> </div> <script> document.addEventListener("touchstart", () => { const child = document.getElementById("child"); if (!child) return; while (child.firstChild) { child.removeChild(child.firstChild); } const link = document.createElement("a"); link.href = "https://test.com"; link.textContent = "test"; child.appendChild(link); }); </script> </body> </html>

After reading several posts I see that I need to add the "com.apple.developer.web-browser.public-key-credential" capability to my macOS app in order to get it to work. So my noob question is where do I request this capability? Can I as a developer request it or does the Account owner need to request it? Once approved, how do I add it to my app's capabilities? Thanks for your patience

We’ve noticed that the ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities() check has stopped working correctly in Safari over the past couple of days. Behavior observed: 1.) In Safari Private Window, paymentCredentialStatus behaves as expected and case 1 is triggered. 2.) In a normal Safari window, it always triggers case 3 (paymentCredentialsUnavailable), even when the user has active cards provisioned in Wallet. We tested across multiple devices, and the behavior is consistent. if (window.ApplePaySession) { var merchantIdentifier = 'YOUR MERCHANT IDENTIFIER'; var promise = ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities(merchantIdentifier); promise.then(function(capabilities) { switch (capabilities.paymentCredentialStatus) { case "paymentCredentialsAvailable": // Show Apple Pay button as primary option case "paymentCredentialStatusUnknown": // Offer Apple Pay case "paymentCredentialsUnavailable": // Consider showing Apple Pay button case "applePayUnsupported": // Don’t show Apple Pay button } }) } This used to work fine until a few days ago, but now the capability check in non-private Safari windows always indicates unavailable, even with valid active cards. Has anyone else faced this issue recently? Could this be a Safari regression or a change on Apple’s side? Thanks in advance!

I'm using the new iOS 26 WebPage/WebView for SwiftUI in a NavigationStack. The initial load works as expected, but when loading items from the back/forward lists, the content jumps beneath the navigation bar: struct WebPageTestView: View { var webPage = WebPage() var body: some View { NavigationStack { WebView(webPage) .toolbar { Button("Back") { if let backItem = webPage.backForwardList.backList.last { webPage.load(backItem) } } Button("Forward") { if let forwardItem = webPage.backForwardList.forwardList.first { webPage.load(forwardItem) } } } } .task { webPage.isInspectable = true webPage.load(URL(string: "https://domchristie.co.uk/")) } } } I have run this on the iOS 26.0 and 26.1 Simulators and get the same issue. The demo website does not use any JavaScript. I was able to replicate this behaviour using a wrapped WKWebView and calling the .ignoresSafeArea(.all) modifier.

The app I work on uses WKWebView to render customer data. In iPadOS 26, we observe that there is a delay when resizing the window (and thus the web view) before the content is re-rendered. The same behavior is visible in Safari. For demonstration purposes, consider this test page: https://phet-dev.colorado.edu/html/build-an-atom/0.0.0-3/simple-text-only-test-page.html Initially, the window is small: Then when the window is expanded, the content scales up temporarily: It eventually re-renders to the correct size, but then if you make the window small again, you get (temporarily): Is there anyway around this behavior? We would love to have the content reflow interactively.

We are seeing an issue in Safari on iOS 26 where the a automatic unfocus of on select box dismisses the second one. <select name="choice1" onblur="console.log('onblur1');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus1');"> <option value="first">First Value</option> <option value="second" selected>Second Value</option> <option value="third">Third Value</option> </select> <select name="choice2" onblur="console.log('onblur2');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus2')"> <option value="first">First Value</option> <option value="second" selected>Second Value</option> <option value="third">Third Value</option> </select> select something in choice1. quickly tap choice2 before onblur1 is logged. At the timing of onblur1 the selection menu for choice2 is dismissed. Anyone know how to fix this behavior?

Hell.o I developed web base mobile application these: https://class.mangoedu.co.kr https://betaclass.mangoedu.co.kr https://testclass.mangoedu.co.kr Page is loaded well other platform (Windows, Android...). and Mac. and iPad. and iPhone on Simulator. but only did not load page in REAL iPhones. The issue started intermittently about a month ago, but has recently become almost constant. and this problem is not a code level. Help us please. to iPhone OS/Webkit develop & operation team.

Please! is there an app or anything I can do ive posted multiple times. Ive researched all that I can even with screen time on and web limits it still lets u swipe to delete history! Yes it’s grayed out but u can still swipe and delete it!!

I'm developing a web extension for Safari on iOS using MV3. The extension is working fine in Chrome, but in Safari I experience some seemingly random issues. I would like to debug it, but here is my problem. I have my iPhone connected via cable to Mac, and it works fine with XCode, so I assume this part is OK. I open Safari or Safari Tech Preview (doesn't matter) on my Mac, developers options are enabled, and in the Develop menu, under my iPhone section, there are things I can debug. There is an entry "[Ext name] - Extension Service Worker" but when I click it, it's empty. Web inspector pops up, but there are no network requests, no logs, nothing. I know the extension is working, because I can stream log to my HTTP server, but I don't see them here at all. I can use console to trigger commands like chrome.storage.local.get(null, console.log) and it shows my local store, so why I don't see any logs? Also, the background script is not visible in the Sources tab, just one weird request: navigator.serviceWorker.register('safari-web-extension://E3449EA7-EC25-4696-8E6C-[ID HERE]/background.js'); </script> Any ideas what went wrong? The entire team of 4 people has the same issue and we can't move forward because of that. Also, the Develop => Service workers or any other menu section doesn't show my service worker. Logs for websites running on my phone are visible and in general web inspector for them works fine.

I have observed Safari App starts crashing when running with my safari extension. Our Safari extension polls the host app every 60s. The extension receives and completes requests in func beginRequest(with context: NSExtensionContext) (we always call context.completeRequest(...)). The crash is intermittent: beginRequest itself does not throw. Looking for guidance about likely causes. I am attaching the snippet from crash report.

Hi! I'm trying to implement ASWebAuthenticationSession to log in to my app via the web app backend. However, I'm a bit confused about the cookies that this has access to. When I set prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession=false it does not seem to use the cookies from Safari. Or at least, I'm logged into my web app in Safari, but when I use ASWebAuthenticationSession I still have to log in again. Does it not share session cookies with Safari? I did notice that if I don't use an ephemeral session, once I log out and try to log back in my app does automatically log me in but that's actually unhelpful in my opinion because now I have no way to clear that session because it only lives in the ASWebAuthenticationSession context. If that's the case I may as well use the ephemeral session then because it seems to have only drawbacks.

Since probably the late iOS 17.4.x, 17.5.1 and still now in 17.6 beta our extension has been experiencing issues with the accompanying background script or service worker being permanently killed with no warning after about 30-45 seconds after initial installation (installation, not page load!). In all other browsers (including Safari on MacOS) unloading the service worker is part of the normal lifecycle to save memory and CPU if it is idle. In our extension the service worker is used only during the first 5-10 seconds of every page visit, so we are used to seeing it unload after that and consider this a good thing. However, normally, the service worker is able to wake back up when needed - which is no longer the case in iOS. Once dead, nothing a normal user would do can wake the service worker back up: No events like webNavigation or similar will trigger anymore Any attempt to call sendMessage to it from a content-script also does not wake up the service worker and instead returns undefined to the content script immediately Closing and opening Safari does not start it again The only two things that will give the service worker another 30-40 seconds of life is a reboot of the device or disabling and then re-enabling the extension. During those few second the extension is working perfectly. There are no errors or indications in the logs of what is going on and the extension works just fine in Chrome, Firefox, Edge as well as Safari on MacOS and Safari in the Mobile simulator. Only actual iOS devices fail. It seems like a temporary workaround is to change the manifest to not load the service worker as a service worker by changing "background": { "service_worker": "service.js" } to "background": { "scripts": ["service.js"], "persistent": false } With this change (courtesy of https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721222) the service worker is still unloaded but correctly starts up again when needed. Having to make this change does not seem to be consistent with manifest v3 specs though (see this part in Chrome’s migration guide as an example: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/to-service-workers#update-bg-field). According to the release notes of 17.6 beta this bug was supposedly fixed: “Fixed an issue where Safari Web Extension background pages would stop responding after about 30 seconds. (127681420)” However, this bug is not fixed - or at least not entirely fixed. It seems to work better for super simple tests doing nothing but pinging the service worker from the content script, but for the full blown extension there is no difference at all between 17.5.1 and 17.6. Has there been a change in policy about service workers and background scripts for Safari in iOS? Are anyone else seeing this issue?

Hi Developers, I am working on a small project and I noticed that my website header looks different in Safari on macOS compared to Windows browsers like Chrome and Edge. In Safari, the header text and spacing look slightly shifted (screenshot attached). On Windows browsers, everything looks perfectly aligned. Here is my live project for reference: https://gratuitycalculatorae.com/ Screenshot from Safari (macOS): Is this related to Safari-specific CSS rendering? Should I use -webkit- specific fixes or is there a better cross-browser solution? Any guidance or best practices would be really helpful. Thanks

Hello, As previous reports have already shown, there seems to be a few issues on the latest version of Safari, mainly around: Modals taking up the full viewport Elements positioned at the bottom of the screen This also seems to affect the modals on apple.com/iphone. I've recently done an analysis of what can and can't be done in code to work with the new liquid glass UI and thought I'd share my findings here. The full write up, along with screenshots and the demos I used are available in this repository: https://github.com/stevenocchipinti/liquid-glass-spike A brief summary of the findings: The conditions for a fullscreen modal overlay element to cover the entire screen with a position: fixed; seems to be: The background must be semi-transparent Solid colours, linear-gradients, etc. don't work The container must be empty This also means the standard and ::backdrop don't seem to work. The conditions for a bottom sheet to cover the entire screen, including the area around the Safari toolbar seems to be: The element must be positioned within 3px from the bottom of the viewport The height must be within a certain threshold If I've missed anything, please let me know. It would be really nice to have some official documentation on these issues to explain to developers how to do this properly.

iOS 26 introduced a significant step back for PWAs - you now need at least five taps to add a PWA to your home screen. Android has excellent PWA support - it takes 1 tap to install an app, and the platform support is great, and web apps feel amazing. The gap between the platforms has now increased even further. My team and I were hoping for better PWA support, but now we are very worried about the direction - it puts us in a difficult situation. I'm sure many developers face a similar challenge. What's the current status of PWAs in iOS? Is Apple aiming to improve its support in the near future? Is there a roadmap, tech previews, or betas addressing the issue?
