新しいWebViewにおいてが動作しない
現在新しいWebViewを使ってwebページを読み込むiPadプログラムを作成中ですが、読み込んだ後に部分のボタンをタップしても何も起こりません。safariで通常通りページを開いてボタンをタップするときちんと写真ライブラリ・カメラで撮るなどのポップアップが表示されます。下記がコードです。Webページは単純化のためにのみを配置しています。 struct SwiftUIWebView: View { @State private var webPage = WebPage() private let url = URL(string: "https://www.****.com/")! var body: some View { WebView(webPage) .onAppear { // URLを読み込む webPage.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } } } 何か追加のコードが必要なのでしょうか?

Issue with opening browser on Apple Watch SE 2 – black screen
Hello, I am experiencing an issue when trying to open the browser on my Apple Watch SE 2 running the latest version, watchOS 11.6. When I attempt to visit any website, the browser opens and displays the URL at the top as if it is loading, but the screen remains black and no content is displayed. The internet connection is available, and all other apps on the watch work normally. This issue occurs only with the browser. I would appreciate any guidance or solution to resolve this problem. Thank you for your assistance.

URL Blocking in Chrome on iOS via Extensions – Is It Possible?
Hello Apple Developer Community, I currently have a Safari Web Extension on iOS that blocks certain URLs for users. I would like to provide the same functionality for Chrome on iOS. I understand that Chrome on iOS uses WebKit under the hood, and Safari Web Extensions can run in Safari, but I am unsure whether there is any way to implement URL blocking in Chrome for iOS—either via an extension, API, or other supported mechanism. Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on: Whether any browser extension (Safari, Chrome, or otherwise) can intercept or block web requests in Chrome on iOS. If not, what Apple-supported alternatives exist for implementing URL-blocking functionality for users of Chrome on iOS. Any best practices for maintaining a cross-browser URL-blocking solution for iOS users. I want to make sure my approach is aligned with Apple’s policies and platform capabilities. Any guidance or official references would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

iOS share extension cannot open app from Chrome
Our UI-less share extension (com.apple.services) appears in Safari and Chrome. We raise a popup "Open in (app)..." via the Action.js script document.location.href = urlScheme://... in Safari. However, in Chrome, while our extension executes, parses the URL item attachment from Chrome, it never triggers that popup or opens our app. How can a UI-less share extension open our app from Chrome? Is the accepted practice, despite guidelines, turning the com.apple.ui-services view controller invisible and auto-openURLing? Several apps on the store appear to do this, immediately popping their app without any confirmation dialog or UI in both Safari and Chrome. https://stackoverflow.com/a/79369242

Apple Pay on Web in Cross-Origin iFrame: Merchant Validation Failure Due to Referrer Header Reliance (Custom API Integration)
Hi Apple Developer Community and Support, We are implementing Apple Pay on the Web and are encountering a persistent issue with merchant validation when the ApplePaySession is initiated from a JavaScript application running within a cross-origin iframe. Our Setup: Top-Level Domain: https://application.my.com/ (where the Apple Pay button is displayed, and the iframe is embedded) iFrame Content Origin: https://cashier.my.com/ (Our custom JavaScript application that handles the Apple Pay integration and directly calls our Payment Service Provider's (PSP) API for merchant validation). iFrame allow attribute: The iframe correctly includes allow="payment *". The Problem: When a user clicks the Apple Pay button, the ApplePaySession is successfully created and the Apple Pay sheet opens in Safari iOS. This suggests the browser recognizes the allow="payment *" attribute and allows the API calls. However, during the session.onvalidatemerchant callback, our JavaScript code makes a direct API call to our PSP (Nuvei)'s endpoint. This call consistently fails with an "Invalid domain name!" error, and the Apple Pay sheet then shows "Payment Not Completed." PSP's Diagnosis: Our PSP (Nuvei) has investigated and stated that for this specific endpoint (getAppleValidationApiFlow.do), "there is no explicit way to pass domain to the endpoint and domain for which session is issued is based on 'Referer' header." Our Question for Apple: Given that Safari 17+ now supports allow="payment" for cross-origin iframes to enable Apple Pay APIs, we have the following questions: What is Apple's official guidance or expectation regarding the Referer header for ApplePaySession.onvalidatemerchant calls when the ApplePaySession is instantiated from a cross-origin iframe? Is it expected that the Referer header for calls originating from the iFrame will always be the iFrame's origin? Does Apple's merchant validation process (when the PSP calls apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession) itself rely on or interpret the Referer from the initial client-to-PSP call? Are there recommended best practices or standard approaches for PSP integrations in this cross-origin iFrame scenario to ensure the Referer validation (or equivalent domain validation) is correctly satisfied? We're trying to understand if our PSP's specific reliance on the Referer for this validation is a standard requirement implicitly set by Apple for this flow, or if there are other architectural approaches that should allow this scenario to work seamlessly. Thank you for any insights or guidance you can provide.

SafariDomains Per App VPN Profile Error on iOS 26.0
iOS 26 (from beta 1 to beta 2) We have a VPN app that installs a per-app VPN profile with SafariDomains to filter Safari network traffic. This setup works as expected on iOS versions lower than 26.0. See here more details on SafariDomains: https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf On iOS 26, all SafariDomains configured to go through the per-app VPN result in the following error: "Safari can’t open the page. The error was: Unknown Error" Additional Details: Only SafariDomains encounter this error. Other managed apps traffic through the per-app VPN works correctly. Steps to Reproduce: Install the VPN app with a per-app VPN profile. Configure SafariDomains with any URL (e.g., example.com). Open Safari and navigate to the configured URL. Example Configuration: We tested with a simple example by adding only one URL to SafariDomains (example.com). Logs from the console were captured at the moment Safari opened and encountered the error. safari_google2.txt Has anyone else encountered this issue on iOS 26? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have a question about Safari running in the background on iOS and iPadOS.
I coded two demo websites as follows (both written in NextJS): Website 1: I coded an interval counter that increments every 1 second. Website 2: I used the MediaRecorder API (described in the WebKit documentation: https://webkit.org/blog/11353/mediarecorder-api/). In the ondataavailable function, I periodically send a blob (once every 1 second) to my server. In the backend, I coded a POST API to upload this blob. I noticed that with website 1, the interval doesn't work when I run Safari in the background, even on iOS and iPadOS. However, website 2 works, meaning it still calls my API normally (I tried running Safari in the background for about 1-2 hours and it worked). So, does this mean Apple allows native APIs like MediaRecorder and its callbacks to run in the background?

Private Relay and locally hosted server
Enabling Private Relay seems to block XHR in Safari from reaching a local HTTPS server hosted by an iOS app, though it works in other browsers. Before (working): JS → https://local.example.com → 127.0.0.1 → OK After (blocked / no DNS reply probably): JS → https://local.example.com → ERR Is there any way to restore local domain access or mitigate this issue?

The tag displayed in native webview does not work in iPadOS 26 Beta
I'm creating an iPad app using Xcode 26 Beta 6. I have the following simple code and web page, but when I tap the file selection button, nothing appears. Do I need to add any additional code? code struct SwiftUIWebView: View { @State private var webPage = WebPage() private let url = URL(string: "https://www.xxxx.com/")! var body: some View { WebView(webPage) .onAppear { webPage.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } } } web page <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Test</title> </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <input type="file" /> </div> </body> </html>

With iOS in German language, Safari inserts the wrong decimal separator in number inputs
When setting the language in iOS/macOS to German (or other languages with “,” decimal separator) and number format to “1.234.567,89” in iOS 26.2, 26.3 and 26.4 Beta, Safari inserts the wrong decimal separator in elements. It should use the local German decimal separator comma “,” instead it uses the english/international period “.” Here is a screenshot of iOS 26.2 when visiting a website with just 2 number inputs in Safari: <input type="number"> <input type="number" value="5.6"> It behaves the following way: On the first input, enter a number with decimals like “12,34”, clicking “,” on the onscreen-keyboard, a “.” instead of a “,” is added. The number then is formatted in international/English: “12.34”. The input set programatically shows the right decimal separator for German: "5,6". But deleting the “,” and pressing “,” on the onscreen-keyboard again adds a dot instead of a comma and shows the number in international/english: “5.6”. The same issue also happens on desktop Safari on MacOS 26.2 and newer and iOS apps using webviews, also since iOS 26.2. How to use the correct decimal separator in html number inputs for the user selected language in iOS/macOS on iOS 26.2 and newer versions? Is this maybe a bug? This was working correctly for iOS 26.1 and older:

When using WebAuthn with WKWebView
WebAuthn can be used in Safari, but when using it with WKWebView, you need to set the default browser definition (com.apple.developer.web-browser). Is this correct? Also, is it possible that the terms of use will change or that it will no longer be available in WKWebView in the future?

Duplicate Smart App Banners in Safari when App Is Installed
Issue: On Safari, two Smart App Banners appear for the same webpage when the iOS app is installed. Cause: • Banner 1: Native Apple Smart App Banner, automatically triggered by Safari via AASA / Universal Links. • Banner 2: Smart banner injected by a third-party SDK (Branch.io). • Both operate independently, resulting in duplicate banners. Finding: Safari’s native Smart App Banner behavior is system-controlled and cannot be disabled programmatically using web rules or JavaScript while Universal Links are enabled. Question: Is this behavior expected by design? Is there any Apple-supported way to suppress the native Smart App Banner when using a third-party banner, or is the recommended approach to rely on only one banner system?

Guidance Needed: Safari ITP's Link Tracking Protection Impacts Legitimate App Functionality
Area: WebKit (Safari) Description: I am reporting an issue where our application's core functionality is being broken by Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP). ITP's "Link Tracking Protection" feature automatically strips specific query parameters from URLs. We understand this is an intentional privacy feature. However, our application requires these query parameters to carry essential, non-tracking data, such as authentication tokens or specific app-state information to function correctly. When a user navigates to our site, Safari strips these parameters, this means our client-side application never receives the necessary data, which breaks core features and leads to a failed user experience. This is a significant issue for our application as it prevents users from accessing their content. We are seeking guidance on how to resolve this. Questions for Apple: Is there a recommended way to identify and flag essential, non-tracking query parameters so that Safari's ITP does not strip them? Our parameters are critical for app functionality, not for third-party tracking. What is the recommended best practice for building web applications that rely on URL parameters while adhering to ITP's privacy-first model? We want to ensure our application is compatible with modern browser privacy features without compromising functionality. Could you provide a detailed explanation of what criteria ITP uses to decide which parameters to strip? Understanding the underlying logic would help us restructure our URLs to avoid this issue. Device Information: Operating System: iOS and macOS Safari Version: Latest stable versions on both platforms Device Models: All relevant models and device types

Allow use of deep links without 'Smart' banner appearing
At present, it is not possible to use deep linking without suffering the Smart banner being injected by Safari on each affected web page. This makes the experience of users choosing to browse an associated website significantly poorer as they have to see a Smart banner at the top of each page. People know there is an app store and an app – they don't need constantly reminding like it is still 2010. Anyone know where a relevant plea can be made to Apple to provide an alternative mechanism here as it damages the ethos of being able to simply use a web browser

False positive 'Deceptive Website' warning for personal domain
Hi everyone, i'm running into a problem with my personal domain being flagged as 'deceptive website' in safari, and i can't figure out how to fix it Domain: neon0404.space This is just my personal domain - i use it for adguard home, vaultwarden, some test stuff, sometimes small web tools for friends or family Nothing illegal or malicious has ever been hosted there On july 6, i launched a very simple web utility for a friend when he opened it on ios safari, he got the red 'deceptive website warning' I checked this on other different devices - all got the same warning The next day (july 7) i submitted a review request via websitereview.apple.com, but got no reply I did some digging and found that safari safe browsing daemon pulls data from google safe browsing, tencent safe browsing, and some apple's internal lists So, going one-by-one https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search showed up that domain is flagged for something shady Signed up in google search console and saw my domain was flagged for 'malware links' (with no related urls listed), so looked like a false positive I audited everything related to this domain on august 5 - nothing suspicious Next day i requested a review in Google Search Console, just next day Google confirmed that everything is ok and removed the flag So, i thought, maybe this was the key and requested another review via websitereview.apple.com (august 7) No reply, domain still flagged While i was waiting, i checked domain in Tencent (https://urlsec.qq.com/check.html) - no issues Other services like VirusTotal, Norton and Sucuri showed up same result - no issues I attempted to contact regular support (even though it's not their area of responsibility), but just in case They, as expected, couldn't do anything At this point it feels like a dead end, so i'm here Has anyone been through this before? Is there any other way to escalate the review process with apple? Really appreciate any advice, as this domain is personal and linked to my username, which i want to use later

WebView Exit fullscreen issue on iPadOS
This demonstrates an issue with SwiftUI's WebView on iPadOS. To repro, testing on iPad Simulator OS 26.2, macOS 26.2, Xcode 26.2. Download and unzip this project: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z3MobjDf_RvvOtriXtinXvrJ7rGHwZRs/view?usp=share_link Set up Signing and Run the swiftui-webview App target on simulator (I'm using iPad Pro 13-inch (M5 simulator) Tap/click the fullscreen [ ] button in the bottom left corner of the webpage. Tap/click the 'X' button in the top left, to exit fullscreen. Result: The WebView exits fullscreen, but there is no content loaded, just a white background. It's also now not possible to visit other URLs - the WebView appears to be unresponsive and not repaint. This does not appear to affect macOS 26.2, just iPadOS.

SafariDomains Per App VPN Profile Error on iOS 26.0
iOS 26 (from beta 1 to beta 2) We have a VPN app that installs a per-app VPN profile with SafariDomains to filter Safari network traffic. This setup works as expected on iOS versions lower than 26.0. See here more details on SafariDomains: https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf On iOS 26, all SafariDomains configured to go through the per-app VPN result in the following error: "Safari can’t open the page. The error was: Unknown Error" Additional Details: Only SafariDomains encounter this error. Other managed apps traffic through the per-app VPN works correctly. Steps to Reproduce: Install the VPN app with a per-app VPN profile. Configure SafariDomains with any URL (e.g., example.com). Open Safari and navigate to the configured URL. Example Configuration: We tested with a simple example by adding only one URL to SafariDomains (example.com). Logs from the console were captured at the moment Safari opened and encountered the error. safari_google2.txt Has anyone else encountered this issue on iOS 26?

With iOS in German language, Safari inserts the wrong decimal separator in number inputs
When setting the language in iOS/macOS to German (or other languages with “,” decimal separator) and number format to “1.234.567,89” in iOS 26.2, 26.3 and 26.4 Beta, Safari inserts the wrong decimal separator in elements. It should use the local German decimal separator comma “,” instead it uses the english/international period “.” Here is a screenshot of iOS 26.2 when visiting a website with just 2 number inputs in Safari: <input type="number"> <input type="number" value="5.6"> It behaves the following way: On the first input, enter a number with decimals like “12,34”, clicking “,” on the onscreen-keyboard, a “.” instead of a “,” is added. The number then is formatted in international/English: “12.34”. The input set programatically shows the right decimal separator for German: "5,6". But deleting the “,” and pressing “,” on the onscreen-keyboard again adds a dot instead of a comma and shows the number in international/english: “5.6”. The same issue also happens on desktop Safari on MacOS 26.2 and newer and iOS apps using webviews, also since iOS 26.2. How to use the correct decimal separator in html number inputs for the user selected language in iOS/macOS on iOS 26.2 and newer versions? Is this maybe a bug?

Guidance Needed: Safari ITP's Link Tracking Protection Impacts Legitimate App Functionality
Area: WebKit (Safari) Description: I am reporting an issue where our application's core functionality is being broken by Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP). ITP's "Link Tracking Protection" feature automatically strips specific query parameters from URLs. We understand this is an intentional privacy feature. However, our application requires these query parameters to carry essential, non-tracking data, such as authentication tokens or specific app-state information to function correctly. When a user navigates to our site, Safari strips these parameters, this means our client-side application never receives the necessary data, which breaks core features and leads to a failed user experience. This is a significant issue for our application as it prevents users from accessing their content. We are seeking guidance on how to resolve this. Questions for Apple: Is there a recommended way to identify and flag essential, non-tracking query parameters so that Safari's ITP does not strip them? Our parameters are critical for app functionality, not for third-party tracking. What is the recommended best practice for building web applications that rely on URL parameters while adhering to ITP's privacy-first model? We want to ensure our application is compatible with modern browser privacy features without compromising functionality. Could you provide a detailed explanation of what criteria ITP uses to decide which parameters to strip? Understanding the underlying logic would help us restructure our URLs to avoid this issue. Device Information: Operating System: iOS and macOS Safari Version: Latest stable versions on both platforms Device Models: All relevant models and device types

Browser window with URL not opening via ASWebAuth
Our app uses ASWebAuthenticationSession for login. This launches an incognito (ephemeral) browser window of the system’s default browser with the authentication URL. Recently, on the latest macOS Tahoe, we observe that: The browser application is launched(we could see in the dock) But the authentication window with the URL does not appear No error is returned to the app (silent failure)

Allow use of deep links without 'Smart' banner appearing
At present, it is not possible to use deep linking without suffering the Smart banner being injected by Safari on each affected web page. This makes the experience of users choosing to browse an associated website significantly poorer as they have to see a Smart banner at the top of each page. People know there is an app store and an app – they don't need constantly reminding like it is still 2010. Anyone know where a relevant plea can be made to Apple to provide an alternative mechanism here as it damages the ethos of being able to simply use a web browser

False positive 'Deceptive Website' warning for personal domain
Hi everyone, i'm running into a problem with my personal domain being flagged as 'deceptive website' in safari, and i can't figure out how to fix it Domain: neon0404.space This is just my personal domain - i use it for adguard home, vaultwarden, some test stuff, sometimes small web tools for friends or family Nothing illegal or malicious has ever been hosted there On july 6, i launched a very simple web utility for a friend when he opened it on ios safari, he got the red 'deceptive website warning' I checked this on other different devices - all got the same warning The next day (july 7) i submitted a review request via websitereview.apple.com, but got no reply I did some digging and found that safari safe browsing daemon pulls data from google safe browsing, tencent safe browsing, and some apple's internal lists So, going one-by-one https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search showed up that domain is flagged for something shady Signed up in google search console and saw my domain was flagged for 'malware links' (with no related urls listed), so looked like a false positive I audited everything related to this domain on august 5 - nothing suspicious Next day i requested a review in Google Search Console, just next day Google confirmed that everything is ok and removed the flag So, i thought, maybe this was the key and requested another review via websitereview.apple.com (august 7) No reply, domain still flagged While i was waiting, i checked domain in Tencent (https://urlsec.qq.com/check.html) - no issues Other services like VirusTotal, Norton and Sucuri showed up same result - no issues I attempted to contact regular support (even though it's not their area of responsibility), but just in case They, as expected, couldn't do anything At this point it feels like a dead end, so i'm here Has anyone been through this before? Is there any other way to escalate the review process with apple? Really appreciate any advice, as this domain is personal and linked to my username, which i want to use later

WebView Exit fullscreen issue on iPadOS
This demonstrates an issue with SwiftUI's WebView on iPadOS. To repro, testing on iPad Simulator OS 26.2, macOS 26.2, Xcode 26.2. Download and unzip this project: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z3MobjDf_RvvOtriXtinXvrJ7rGHwZRs/view?usp=share_link Set up Signing and Run the swiftui-webview App target on simulator (I'm using iPad Pro 13-inch (M5 simulator) Tap/click the fullscreen [ ] button in the bottom left corner of the webpage. Tap/click the 'X' button in the top left, to exit fullscreen. Result: The WebView exits fullscreen, but there is no content loaded, just a white background. It's also now not possible to visit other URLs - the WebView appears to be unresponsive and not repaint. This does not appear to affect macOS 26.2, just iPadOS.
