Hi everyone, We’ve recently run into an issue with Apple Pay on the web and would appreciate some clarification. Background: Previously, we integrated Apple Pay without using the Apple Pay JS SDK. We relied on ApplePaySession.canMakePayments() to check availability, and it worked fine. After Apple announced support for browsers beyond Safari, we switched to the Apple Pay JS SDK. According to Apple’s documentation, we should now use applePayCapabilities() for capability checks in third-party browsers. Our current behavior: We implemented applePayCapabilities(). Initially, it was returning either paymentCredentialStatusUnknown or paymentCredentialsUnavailable. Based on those values, we displayed the Apple Pay button. The problem: About a week ago, on the same device/browser, applePayCapabilities() started returning applePayUnsupported. Setup: MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020), Google Chrome Version 136.0.7103.93. The Apple documentation says: “Don’t show an Apple Pay button or offer Apple Pay” when the result is applePayUnsupported. However, at the same time, canMakePayments() is returning true. This creates a direct conflict between the two recommendations: canMakePayments() → true ⇒ show the button. applePayCapabilities() → applePayUnsupported ⇒ don’t show the button. Question: What’s the correct approach here? Should we prioritize applePayCapabilities() and hide the button, or is it acceptable to continue relying only on canMakePayments() as the source of truth for showing Apple Pay? Any insights from others who’ve run into this contradiction would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know the install state of my iOS safari extension in the associated swift app. Is there any way to get this? As we have seen it is available for macOS here, is there anyway to know iOS Safari extension is enabled or not? Thanks

It‘s called Track Configuration API found in the iOS 26.0 Public Beta 5. No explanation anywhere on the web Or release notes, it’s not mentioned anywhere. I‘m very interested in new tracking innovations. And another small thing I‘ve never found out, what is „fingerprint related quirk“ is that an insider joke Or something? I don‘t know it‘s actions. Thank you for answering

Subject: Help Needed with App Clip Implementation Hi Team, I need some assistance with implementing App Clip behavior in safari and also experimenting using TestFlight app. Default App Clip URL: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.jey.ppclient-prod.appclip Website for App Clip Integration: https://appclip-sand.vercel.app/customer Current Behavior: Default App Clip URL: When I embed the default App Clip URL in an HTML tag like below: Launch App Clip it does launch the App Clip. but it says the appclip not supported in your region I've already added this configuration under Local Experience in App Store Connect. Website Integration: I’ve registered the site using the Advanced App Clip Experience. The apple-app-site-association file is in place. When I visit the site, the App Clip does launch as expected. What I Need Help With: I want to launch the App Clip from a custom button click, using either: The default App Clip URL, or The website URL (e.g., https://appclip-sand.vercel.app/customer) with additional query parameters like userId or sessionId. Is there a supported way to achieve this—perhaps through JavaScript or a specific tag setup that works with either Local or Advanced Experience? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jey

window.location.href = 'tel:0216700310'; I ran the code in an IOS environment. The number was displayed when the call button on the device appeared. However, other IOS devices besides some devices came out as a number starting with +82, and I received feedback that the call was not connected properly. I wonder what could be caused by only some devices. And I would also like to ask what can be done to allow the numbers on the code to be displayed and called as they are.

Hi Apple Devs & WebKit Team, We operate https://excnum.com — a personal website currently under reconstruction. It's HTTPS-secure, hosted on a clean VPS, and now features a simple placeholder page with no active forms, scripts, or external redirects. However, Safari on both iOS and macOS is flagging it as a “deceptive website”, blocking all access. This warning appears even though: The site uses a valid SSL certificate via Cloudflare There are no redirects, tracking scripts, or dynamic code We serve a static landing page (“under maintenance”) with zero interaction No malware, phishing, or obfuscation exists — verified with multiple tools A review request has already been submitted at: https://websitereview.apple.com We believe the site may have been blacklisted previously under past ownership or prior configurations. It has since been completely restructured and cleared, but the Safari warning persists. This false flag is harming visibility and trust for an otherwise neutral website. Any advice on how to expedite re-evaluation or request a manual delisting from the deceptive site list would be much appreciated. Thank you! — Alex Admin, EXCNUM.COM

Thank you for supporting me. My environment Device: iPhone 15 Pro OS: iOS 26.0 Public Beta (23A5336a) In iOS 26, three types of tabs were added to Safari. Depending on the option, the behavior of the fixed header and footer can be unstable. *Tab settings can be changed in the iOS Settings app under "Apps -> Safari" > "Tabs." The following behavior differs depending on the tab. Compact When scrolling down, the header and footer shift up by a few pixels. A margin is created between the footer and the URL input field. Bottom Behaves the same as "Compact." Top The header is completely hidden below the URL input field at the top of the screen, leaving a margin below the footer. Below is the sample code to check the operation. <!doctype html> <html lang="ja"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" /> <title>固定ヘッダー/フッター + モーダル</title> <style> :root { --header-h: 56px; --footer-h: 56px; } body { margin: 0; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; background: #f9fafb; padding-top: var(--header-h); padding-bottom: var(--footer-h); } header .inner, footer .inner { width: 100%; max-width: var(--max-content-w); padding: 0 16px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; } header, footer { position: fixed; left: 0; right: 0; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 100; background: #fff; } header { top: 0; height: var(--header-h); border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; } footer { bottom: 0; height: var(--footer-h); border-top: 1px solid #ddd; } main { padding: 16px; } .btn { padding: 8px 16px; border: 1px solid #2563eb; background: #2563eb; color: #fff; border-radius: 6px; cursor: pointer; } /* モーダル関連 */ .modal { position: fixed; inset: 0; display: none; z-index: 1000; } .modal.is-open { display: block; } .modal__backdrop { position: absolute; inset: 0; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); } .modal__panel { position: relative; max-width: 600px; margin: 10% auto; background: #fff; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; z-index: 1; } .modal__head { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; margin-bottom: 12px; } .modal__title { margin: 0; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; } .modal__close { background: none; border: none; font-size: 20px; cursor: pointer; } </style> </head> <body> <header> <div class="inner"> <h1>デモページ</h1> <button id="openModal" class="btn">モーダルを開く</button> </div> </header> <main class="container" id="main"> <h2>スクロール用の適当なコンテンツ1</h2> <p>ヘッダーとフッターは常に表示されます。モーダルボタンを押すと、画面いっぱいのダイアログが開きます。</p> <!-- ダミーカードを複数 --> <section class="grid"> <div class="card"><strong>カード1</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード2</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード3</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード4</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード5</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード6</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード7</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード8</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード9</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード10</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> </section> </main> <footer> <small>&copy; 2025 Demo</small> </footer> <!-- モーダル --> <div class="modal" id="modal"> <div class="modal__backdrop"></div> <div class="modal__panel"> <div class="modal__head"> <h2 class="modal__title">モーダル</h2> <button class="modal__close" id="closeModal">&times;</button> </div> <p>これは白いビューのモーダルです。背景は黒く半透明で覆われています。</p> </div> </div> <script> const modal = document.getElementById('modal'); const openBtn = document.getElementById('openModal'); const closeBtn = document.getElementById('closeModal'); const backdrop = modal.querySelector('.modal__backdrop'); openBtn.addEventListener('click', () => { modal.classList.add('is-open'); }); function closeModal() { modal.classList.remove('is-open'); } closeBtn.addEventListener('click', closeModal); backdrop.addEventListener('click', closeModal); window.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => { if (e.key === 'Escape' && modal.classList.contains('is-open')) { closeModal(); } }); </script> </body> </html>

Hi, I'm using a webview in Swift, where I load an html file locally. Basically I have an angular project built and loaded directly into my app bundle. The webview requires the use of the camera. I request permissions via and javascript, the pop-up appears, I accept the permissions and the app works correctly. Only that after a certain number of seconds, the permissions are requested again. It's as if the webview doesn't cache the accepted permissions. Is this normal behavior?

Hello everyone, We've had our app rejected twice under Guideline 3.2.2 regarding charitable donations, and we're seeking clarification on the correct implementation. We've read the guidelines but want to confirm the technical approach with the community's experience. The Rejection Reason: Apple states: "We still noticed that your app includes the ability to collect charitable donations within the app..." They specify that since we are not an approved nonprofit, we must use one of the alternatives, primarily: "provide a link to your website that launches the default browser or SFSafariViewController for users to make a donation." Our Current (Rejected) Implementation: User taps a "Help" button in our native app. A native modal appears inside our app where the user enters their donation amount and email address for the receipt. The user clicks "Donate," which then opens an SFSafariViewController to our website's payment page (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). The amount and email are passed as URL parameters to pre-fill the form. Our Questions for the Community: Is the issue solely the fact that we have a native modal for data entry? We understand we cannot process the payment in-app, but we thought collecting the intent (amount, email) was acceptable before handing off to Safari. What is the definitive, compliant flow? Option A: Should the "Help" button do nothing more than open an SFSafariViewController to a generic donations landing page on our website (https://ourwebsite.com/donate), with no data pre-filled? The user must then navigate and enter all information on the website itself. Option C: The rejection also mentions SMS. Has anyone had success implementing a "Text-to-Donate" link instead of a web flow? Wording: The button in our app currently says "Donate". Should this be changed to a more passive call to action like "Visit Website to Donate" to make it absolutely clear the transaction is external? We want to ensure our next submission is successful. Any insight, especially from developers who have successfully navigated this exact rejection, would be immensely helpful. Thank you.

Hi, I’m trying to detect whether my Safari Web Extension is running in Safari or Safari Technology Preview. Is there a reliable way to do that? I can get the executable path of the parent process using proc_pidpath(). However, unlike Chrome or Firefox, Safari extensions run under /sbin/launchd as the parent process, not the responsible process (browser’s binary). In this scenario, I need the executable path of the actual browser process, but I haven’t found a way to get it. Also, Safari doesn’t implement the Web Extension API’s browser.runtime.getBrowserInfo(), unlike Firefox. I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m considering checking the user agent string, though I’m not sure how reliable that would be. Use Case Some users use my Safari extension as a web development tool and want to enable some features exclusively in Safari Technology Preview, while using other features only in standard Safari. If I could detect which browser is in use, I could provide the appropriate functionality for them.

I'm trying to use DNR to force safe search with Qwant search engine. Under certain circumstances (scenario described below) the search is performed with an API which contains the safe search level in a URL parameter. A typical query URL is https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q=test&count=10&locale=fr_FR&offset=0&device=desktop&tgp=1&safesearch=0&displayed=true&llm=true. I want a DNR rule to force safesearch to be 2 (= strict) (from some javascript code) : { id: 1, priority: 1, action: { type: 'redirect', "redirect": { "transform": { "queryTransform": { "addOrReplaceParams": [{ "key": "safesearch", "value": "2" }] } } } }, condition: { "urlFilter": "api.qwant.com/v3/search", "resourceTypes": ["xmlhttprequest"] }, } When this rule is activated, I end up with a URL with the original safesearch parameter AND the forced one : https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q=test&count=10&locale=fr_FR&offset=0&device=desktop&tgp=1&safesearch=0&displayed=true&llm=true&safesearch=2. To reproduce this request (with the previous DNR rule in place) : navigate to https://www.qwant.com search for some string (test in my case). This displays the list of results ; click the engine button at the top right to display the settings pane ; inspect network request performed by this page ; change the Adult filter in the list -> the results are automatically updated with the new settings. The web request shows URL with the 2 safesearch parameters. I already used addOrReplaceParams in 'standard' contexts (main_frame) and it works just fine. Any hint on what goes on ? Thank you.

Hi, this is my first post in the community, so please correct me if i am posting this somewhat in a wrong manner. Im using my Apple M1 Pro(14inch, 2021) and installed the os 26 yesterday. Today, I was using Safari, and all of sudden it gets frozen, then the following window popped up. Is this something expected? i.e. my usage is somewhat unusual or is there any report around potential memory leak in Safari? appreciate any suggestions, as Safari is my main browser and currently on hold due to this issue. Thanks

MacOS: 12 ( Monterrey ) Safari: 17.6 Demo Site: https://applepaydemo.apple.com/ At the bottom where the Apple Pay button should appear, I see a warning something like "This browser doesn't support Apple Pay, please use safari" along with a link to requirements for apple pay. All the requirements are fulfilled, OS and Safari's version are above the minimum required. Link was opened in Safari. And the other thing is if I open the same site in Chrome, I can see the apple pay button and when I click on it a QR appears which is the expected behaviour. How to resolve this?

I've been using Sign In with Apple for Web for the last six months, and it works well enough. Now, I'm updating the domain of the main application (we got the .com! yeah!) However, I can't find a way in the configuration UI to update the allowed redirect URLs for the application. I go to Identifiers -> My App -> Capabilities -> Sign In with Apple -> Edit button. It just allows me to edit whether this is a primary ID, or grouped ID, plus a callback URL (which I'm not currently using.)

As with the adoption of MV3 standards among all major browser vendors that allow browser extensions at the client-side, I understand that this is the same with Safari as well, as mentioned here (https://www.wwdcnotes.com/notes/wwdc22/10099/). However, as with Firefox, browsers may choose to adopt them incompletely and with few changes. I had a few questions regarding how Safari views this transition and what would be the next steps from here. Thus, it would be really great if the browser team could provide your insights on any or all of the following points: Would Safari adopt the exact standards proposed by the Chromium ecosystem such as with functionalities like header-based modifications in the coming days.  What would be the general timeline be for this in general?  Does this also translate to the fact that existing standards with MV2 standards would not be allowed to operate any further, as with the timeline with Chromium? Regards

I have a WKWebView that contains a js text editor, built on top of a content editable div. Currently, inline predictions on Mac break the text editors functionality significantly every time there's a prediction. There's not a way for me to fix this on the js side unless I can know when a prediction is shown. I've tried disabling inline predictions and writing tools with the web view config, but it doesn't work: let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() config.writingToolsBehavior = .none config.allowsInlinePredictions = false let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: config) I've also tried disabling all spellcheck and autocorrect features in the html but that doesn't work either: <div contenteditable="true" spellcheck="false" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off"></div> Is there anything I can do to turn it off? Or, is it possible to know when the WebView is predicting text?

Hi everyone, I'm exploring the new app icon appearance options (Clear, Dark, Tinted) for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS26, iPadOS26, and macOS26. Currently, PWA icons don't seem to render well with these new appearances, particularly in Clear and Tinted modes, resulting in very very poor visual quality. You can hardly see anything. Has support for these icon appearances been fully implemented for PWAs? If so, could someone point me to the relevant Apple Developer documentation or provide guidance on how to configure PWA icons to support Clear, Dark, and Tinted appearances? I've searched the Apple Developer Forums, Stack Overflow, and Reddit but haven't found clear information on this topic.A possible solution is a png file with transparent areas, but if the pattern is dark, nothing will be visible in dark mode. Any insights or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! (plz don't give up on PWA😭) Reference: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/761615 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78780916/is-there-a-way-to-provide-light-dark-and-tinted-variants-of-apple-touch-icon https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html
