I'm trying to set up a smart app banner for my app, but it doesn't appear on the website when I try to test it. I have the meta tag on my website: <meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=6740216045" /> When I inspect the website, I can see that the meta tag is showing up in the head, but the banner is nowhere to be found. I tried clearing website data but still no dice.

The strange_behaviour.mp4 video attached shows how when running a list of statements to open (startCamera) and close (closeCamera) the camera against a MacBook Pro 2019 using the FaceTime camera, these return their value almost immediately, when in reality the camera is still opening and closing. We believe that there might be a queue for statements to run against the camera and it finishes the awaits when all the statements are inserted in the queue instead of when they are actually solved. We also attached the expected_behaviour.mp4 video where we replicate the same flow but using an external camera instead of the FaceTime camera. In this video, the promises take a bit longer to return but they do once the camera has already been opened and closed the requested amount of times. The project used in the videos is attached as project.tar.xz. We would like to know if the behaviour in strange_behaviour.mp4 is replicable on your side and if there is a way to access the cameras to make it behave like when using an external camera (expected_behaviour.mp4).

HI, please can someone help? I have a web app where push notifications are in place for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Providing the user allows notifications then when they log in for the first time their details are registered to the subscriptions table in the backend. All good so far. When trying to do the same with Safari on Mac I'm faced with this issue: "Safari doesn’t support invisible push notifications. Present push notifications to the user immediately after your service worker receives them. If you don’t, Safari revokes the push notification permission for your site." and the user is not registered in the subscription table with the Safari console just saying variations of this: [Warning] Notification permission denied. (notifications_frontend.js, line 177, x2) [Log] Enable Notifications button clicked (notifications_frontend.js, line 245) [Log] Safari Push Notifications detected (notifications_frontend.js, line 248) [Warning] Safari Push Permission denied. (notifications_frontend.js, line 278) I've found this on an another forrum: "Safari requires that you immediately post a notification when a push message is received. "Immediately" means that it cannot be after some async operation. If you display a notification immediately from the service worker itself, it will stop displaying that error. I cannot remember 100% but I think if you clear your cache and cookies you will be able to receive push messages again if you accidentally get blocked while testing." and I've tried adding buttons to trigger allowing notifications but it all seem to late to get the subscription registered in the subscription table. I'm pretty new to coding so if any has a similar experience and can advice how to get the subscriptions registered when the user logs on for the first time in Safari in a Mac it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

The behavior has changed when specifying an xlsx file in the src of iframe in my PWA app. On iPadOS 17.3：Content of xlsx file shown in iframe On iPadOS 17.5.1：A screen appears on top of the original screen to select an app to open the xlsx file. I would like to restore the original behavior, but how can I do that? In addition, if i open and operate the same URL as the one opened in the PWA app in Safari on iPadOS 17.5.1, "download test.xlsx dialog" is open and the dialog has view or download buttons. If the behavior has changed to same to safari on iPadOS17.5.1, it is good for me.

We currently are using private web security certificates for our URLs. Our users download, install, and enable a Root Certificate on their devices to reach our website (trusted). The web security certificates have expirations that are less than 13 months from expiration. Since the deployment of iOS 18, our users are now getting a "This Connection is not Private" warning in the web browser on both Mac and iOS devices. What change was implemented in iOS 18 that is causing this issue? Other than changing our web security certificates to Public ones, what solutions should be implemented to prevent this from occurring?

In the Safari browser on mobile devices, the tags in an HTML element are styled with the system's default styles. I want the text inside the tags to be displayed without line breaks. However, in reality, the text wraps according to its length. May I ask if there are any methods to achieve this? (ps: CSS-related properties such as white-space: nowrap do not work.)

I need to load both the local source images and remote source images in WKWebView. The url of remote images is a relative url. To load the local images in WebView, I could use loadFileURL(:allowingReadAccessTo:). To load the remote images in WebView, I could use loadHTMLString(:baseURL:). But, I need both the local images and remote images. How can I do?

We seem to be having an issue with a webservice here which is used within our network and IOS Safari. For the service to work , we need to access it with an unencrypted HTTP API call, which acts as a trigger. The server does not respond to HTTPS requests. (the HTTP API call does not contain any data that is privacy sensitive or that can be abused) Since recently the service does not seem to work anymore properly, but this only happens with Safari and IOS. With all other browsers the service is still working normally, only with Safarai it fails. No matter what I do in the settings of the phone, the Safar browser seems to stop immediately after the HTTP request. What is going on here ?? The issue seems to occur only when you don't have an iCloud+ account. With an iCloud+ account I get the same issue when you switch Apple Private Relay on, but that make sense. When I have Apple Private Relay switched off, there is no issue.

HI, I'm seeking help on the following: When members of public in Singapore are using iOS 14 and above version to surf gov't websites using Safari, noted that Safari is sending Type 65 DNS queries which had also rendered gov't websites slower as compared to similar chromium browsers. Is there any other workarounds that we can advise the public to adopt?

I am trying to access a camera from web view and I'm unable to load the updated UI in web view and web view gets flick for every few seconds. The updated UI has some more functionality, but the web page not getting loaded.

Hi. I have reviewed the process of integrating Apple Pay on the web, but I still don’t understand how to implement it. For example: I currently have software A and a payment website that my software provides to restaurants. So, how can I integrate Apple Pay on the restaurants' payment websites? I read that to integrate, we need to register for a Merchant ID with Apple Pay. So, is it the restaurants or the software provider who should register? Each restaurant will have a different website domain -> does that mean when registering the Merchant ID, the website domain is the payment website of each restaurant? When Apple Pay provides the verification file, the sales software (i.e., the payment website) must help the restaurants upload that file to the payment website of each restaurant, right? To verify if it is valid or not depends on Apple Pay, right? If it is valid, the Apple Pay payment button will be displayed, correct?

I am trying to figure out a way to programatically paste the contents of the clipboard into a series of text input fields. Specifically, this is for a security code entry screen, where the user will receive a code as a string of number characters. After verifying that the string represents a number, I split it into an array of single number chars, then paste the value at each index into each input. This works fine in Chrome and Firefox, but fails in Safari. After a lot of research, I have found that programatic pasting is a challenge on this platform. I did discover that if I listen for the focusin event and then get the contents of the clipboard, a popup "paste" button will appear. Clicking it does nothing, but I'm thinking that I might be able to grab the button in code and bend it to my will. Can anyone tell me how to interact with that button?

The app analytics tab for my account is empty. It doesn't show any bundle IDs or apps that have been launched. Is this normal for WatchOS apps? Here's a screenshot of the tab: https://cloud.goodsmile.studio/hT5fL2HY

I am working on some open source documentation genereator tools which should support pwa on apple. I want to check whether some private apple meta tags are still supported like apple-touch-icon, I can only found some archived docs: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html I searched for almost an hour but I can not find anything related to safari and it's behavior in the new documentation. So I want to ask: do I miss anything? or apple is dropping docs for safari?

Hi, when I display an HTML page with a on Safari iOS, I get a nice UI. Great! At the first look I see a video frame with an arrow-in-a-circle button in the middle. Very nice. I click on the arrow and I get a fullscreen view while the video begins to play. I watch the video then I pause it then I click on the top-left x button. So I go back to my html page and the video is perfectly there as it was before. But, there is an annoying new detail. The video frame is really dark, it still presents all the controls and a "different" arrow button to play it again. In other words that nice video-frame, that nice picture, is not longer visible on the page. That nice page with nice pictures has now an almost-black rectangle. Too bad. Sure I can click on the video (outside the controls) then the controls and the black overlaying frame disappear. I can see that nice picture again. Finally. Well, but the arrow-in-a-circle button to play the video disappeared. Now the user cannot longer understand that's a video to play. It looks just like any other pictures to admire statically. Is any way to get the previous first look of the video? The one clear, with the current frame and the arrow-in-a-circle look?

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.

I'm encountering an issue with ReactPlayer where videos fail to play when the playback rate is set to 3x, but this problem only occurs on iOS. The same functionality works perfectly fine on Android devices and desktop browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Here are the details of my setup: ReactPlayer version: 2.16.0 Video format: [MP4, hls ] Tested devices: iPhone 13 Expected behavior: Videos should play smoothly at 3x speed. Actual behavior: Videos fail to load or play when playbackRate is set to 3.0. I've read that iOS Safari might have limitations regarding playback rate due to performance or energy efficiency, but I couldn't find any official documentation to confirm this. If anyone has faced a similar issue or knows the root cause (or a workaround), I'd really appreciate your insights. Additionally, if there are official resources or documentation about playback rate limitations on iOS Safari, please share them. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there, we have found a problem, after switching audio tracks multi times when play the HLS, there will be a few seconds of no sound playing after audio track switching, Is there a solution to this problem?

It seems fetch() does not include credentials (cookie) even when credentials: include is used and Safari extension has host_permissions for that domain when using from a non-default Safari profile. It includes credentials (cookie) when using from the default profile (which has the default name Personal). Is there anyone who has this problem? I try to request in popup.js like this: const response = await fetch( url, { method: 'GET', mode: 'cors', credentials: 'include', referrerPolicy: 'no-referrer', } ); and it does not include the credentials (cookie) from host_permissions. I already posted https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764279, and opened feedback assistant (FB15307169). But it is still not fixed yet. (macOS 15.4 beta 3) I hope this is fixed soon.

Is there a way to read all URLs of the currently open Safari TabGroup from a Safari Extension? In macOS and iOS
