I have had zero luck anywhere else and it’s at this point infuriating. February 23rd of this year I submitted a ticket in Feedback regarding how Safari for me has been broken. I can’t load any website at all, I have cleared cache, data, you name it. I have reset the phone after doing so and as I type this today on a brand new iPhone 17 Pro Max it still doesn’t work. Every single app that prompts a Safari window to sign in also doesn’t work and crashes just as Safari the app does. Sometimes I get a message that pops up that says “Webkit encountered an internal error” before it crashes. I can’t provide a screen recording or screen shots because Safari just crashes. I genuinely don’t know what to do or where to go for an answer and i’ve submitted seven updates to my open Feedback ticket since February 23rd 2025, spanning months from that original date and yet no change or help has came from it. I am clueless on how to even begin to go about fixing it and agitated because it’s been so long, so many other apps effected by this, even on a brand new device Safari still does not work for me. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated I used to have a 15 Pro Max but now on the 17 Pro Max and throughout the entire time i’ve been on the developer beta. Maybe that is the issue i’m unsure because now i’m just on iOS 26 so I don’t know if it’s just stuck like this forever. Again any help would be appreciated. I have not went physically to Apple yet to get this solved it‘s been a last resort, considering my options I might have to clear time to go. I’ve been using Chrome ever since this issue.

hi Testing on OS26 Public Beta 6. In Safari, if you enter x homepage and scroll, the tab bar sticks to the bottom and moves. Make the keyboard appear in the search window When scrolling down on the Safari homepage again, the issue of not being able to stick to the bottom appears. Is it because the liquid glass UI was applied this time? and safari bug? Please let me know if I'm missing anything

Hello everyone, I'm working on an app that uses WKWebView. My app uses a custom menu and we disable the default menu by overriding with: WKWebAction.canPerformAction() However, with the new iOS 18.2 release, I am no longer able to override the "Copy Link with Highlight" option that pops up when highlighting a selection as can be seen from the screenshot: Has anyone found a work around/bypass for this? Environment iOS Version: iOS 18.2 Device: iPhone 13 Pro App platform: iOS Xcode version: 16.1 MacOS: 14.5

our company created a web safari extension. before iOS 26 (beta) release we would archive our extension and install to our devices no problem. since iOS 26 (beta) (we also tried in beta 4 23A5297m) the extension would archive perfectly but when installing the extension would just not run. its found in settings under safari extension, but when enabled the extension and open safari it will show error message "Ext" is no longer available. to rule out all code issues, we built a new project from scratch with a new bundle id, tried to archive with no problem, but when installed in an iphone 16 with iOS 26 BETA (23A5297m) same error ocurs it installs but when opening safari it will give an error message saying extension is no longer available. attached in the google drive link is a zip file of the new project, a zip file with a succesfull build of the ipa file with enterprise distribute, a video of the entire proccess and the error that the iphone gives. also attached a log file from the iphone that includes the install and the crash of the app. within the logs there is a log saying Error occurred during transaction: The provided identifier "dev.sacal.ext" is invalid. before ios 26 the exact steps worked perfectly. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PYDOv8IRvRY_ouqiOc0sJdcfh0CHbL72/view?usp=sharing

When I open the browser in Safari on iOS 26, I want to specify the background color for the header notch (where the time, battery, etc. are displayed) and the footer indicator area. Specifying the theme color in HTML as shown below did not change anything. <meta name="theme-color" content="#ff0000"> <meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" content="#ff0000"> <meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" content="#ff0000"> The HTML below specifies the background color as green, but is it necessary to specify the background color directly in the body like this? Or is there some kind of metadata, like theme color? <!doctype html> <html lang="ja"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" /> <meta name="theme-color" content="#ff0000"> <meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" content="#ff0000"> <meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" content="#ff0000"> <title>サンプル</title> </head> <body style="background:#00ff00"> <main> <p>テキスト</p> </main> <div id="overlay" role="dialog" aria-modal="true" data-test-id="health-warning-modal" style=" color:#000000; position:fixed; inset:0; z-index:30000; background:#2563eb; display:grid; /* 初期表示：表示中 */ align-items:center; justify-content:center; overflow-y:auto; " > <div style=" padding:60px 16px; display:flex; flex-direction:column; gap:20px; width:100%; box-sizing:border-box; " > <p style=" font-weight:700; text-align:center; margin-top:20px; font-size:28px; line-height:1.4; " > オーバーレイ </p> </div> </div> </body> </html>

Hello from Leipzig, Germany! I noticed that when vertically scrolling in Safari 26 on my Mac, the content of the website I am currently working on is visible in the tab and URL bar with a liquid glass effect. I then looked at various other websites. Some websites have an opaque top bar. Some websites have a transparent top bar where content is visible when scrolling. On the Apple website, the top bar is opaque in light mode but transparent in dark mode. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to control this behavior. Has anyone found out more about this?

I'm experiencing a Safari Web Extension issue where the non-persistant background script seems to crash after 30 seconds even when the content script is messaging it. Here is a minimal-reproducible example. When running in an emulator, the background script will stay responsive forever. However, when running on a physical device, the background script becomes non-responsive after 30 seconds of activity. It never becomes responsive again until I toggle the extensions enable/disable toggle, after which it stays active for 30 seconds and then crashes again.

Hi everyone, I’m encountering a serious reliability issue with message passing in my Safari extension on iOS 18.4.1 and iOS 18.5 In my extension, I use the standard messaging API where the background script sends a message to the content scrip. The content script is listening using: browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener(handler); This setup has been working reliably in previous versions of iOS, but since updating to iOS 18.4.1 and iOS 18.5, I’ve noticed that messages sent from the background script are not consistently received by the content script. From my logs, I can confirm that: The background script is sending the message. The content script’s listener is not always triggered. There are no errors or exceptions logged in either script. It seems as if browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener is either not getting registered in time or failing silently in some instances. This issue is intermittent and does not occur all the time. Has anyone else experienced similar issues in iOS 18.4.1 and 18.5? Are there any known changes or workarounds for ensuring reliable communication between background and content scripts in this version? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Bug Report: Safari refuses to render content that is position: fixed or position: sticky if it goes below the iOS 26 navigation controls at the bottom of the browser. Since the controls are transparent and floating, this is a problem as fixed content is effectively unable to reach the bottom of the page. Attempting to move it below 100vh causes it to be cut off rather than rendering behind the navigation elements. Here is some code reproducing the issue: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <style> html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #363636; } #just-a-bird { position: fixed; bottom: -100px; width: 300px; height: auto; background: red; } </style> </head> <body> <img id="just-a-bird" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Cattle_tyrant_%28Machetornis_rixosa%29_on_Capybara.jpg/640px-Cattle_tyrant_%28Machetornis_rixosa%29_on_Capybara.jpg"> </body> </html>

I am using a custom PAC file in network settings and till now with Sonoma & Sequoia OS, it was working perfectly fine and I was able to redirect traffic to my proxy server. After upgrading to MacOS Tahoe, this stopped working completely. What is happening now is no url is opening on my machine with Chrome & Firefox browser, but somehoe Safari is working. After checking, I found that my deployed network extension is intercepting traffic and allowing it to pass. But still, the pac file is not working. Are there any changes done in MacOS Tahoe regarding this PAC file? How can I resolve this issue?

I’m experiencing an issue in WKWebView on iOS 26 Developer Beta 8. If a view's subview contains a WKWebView, using the CALayer's renderInContext method fails to capture the pixel at the current point, and the console outputs "unsupported surface format: &b38". The following code snippet was functioning as expected on iOS 18 and iOS 26 beta 1. However, it no longer works in the latest beta. Is this a known bug in the current iOS 26 betas, or is there a recommended workaround? - (BOOL)isTransparentAtTouchPoint:(CGPoint)point layer:(CALayer *)layer { unsigned char pixel[4] = {0}; CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(); CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(pixel, 1, 1, 8, 4, colorSpace, (CGBitmapInfo) kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast); CGContextTranslateCTM(context, -point.x, -point.y); [layer renderInContext:context]; CGContextRelease(context); CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace); CGFloat alpha = pixel[3] / 255.0f; return alpha < 0.01; }

Hi, I am developing an OpenType font with the following cursive feature. feature curs { lookup cursivejoinrtl; # RIGHT_TO_LEFT flag set between Hah, Meem, Yeh and final Meem lookup rehwawcursive; # RIGHT_TO_LEFT flag clear between Waw and Hah } curs; Here is the rendering of the word وحميم in TextEdit. Using HarfBuzz I got the following result. The same rendering problem occurs when using Safari. It seems that is related to Core Text. I reported the issue to Feedback Assistant over a year ago but haven't had a response yet. So I'm posting the problem on this forum. Any support on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Hello all, I'm building a web application in ASP.NET MVC (.NET Framework 4.7.2), from this web app I need to send push notifications to users. For the ones who are logged in with windows/android, everything works as expected, but I can't manage to get it work on the apple side. If I use the same methods to subscribe to push notifications, it shows me the popup that asks the user to enable push notifications, and then I get an endpoint like this: https://web.push.apple.com/QKC1Muic0H7... It doesn't work using this (taking the part after https://web.push.apple.com/), I keep getting "Bad device token" (trying to send the notification via APNS). Then I found out that there is another method to register the device from the frontend, and this one should give me the real device token: window.safari.pushNotification.requestPermission But this one doesn't show me the popup, it gives me "denied" without a reason. I'm trying to a test application which is here https://pwa.vctplanner.it, the web push id is web.it.vctplanner, I created a push package downloadable from POST https://pwa.vctplanner.it/api/v2/PushPackages/web.it.vctplanner, and the code from the frontend is this: function registerSafariPush() { // Controlla se Safari Push Notifications è disponibile if (!('safari' in window) || !('pushNotification' in window.safari)) { console.log("Safari Push Notifications non supportate su questo browser."); return; } // Il tuo Website Push ID registrato su Apple Developer var websitePushId = "web.it.vctplanner"; // Controlla lo stato della permission var permissionData = window.safari.pushNotification.permission(websitePushId); switch (permissionData.permission) { case 'default': // L'utente non ha ancora deciso window.safari.pushNotification.requestPermission( 'https://pwa.vctplanner.it', // URL del server che serve il Push Package websitePushId, {}, // dati opzionali da inviare al server function (permission) { if (permission.permission === 'granted') { console.log("Notifiche push abilitate!"); sendSubscriptionToServer({ endpoint: permission.deviceToken }); } else { console.log("Notifiche push non abilitate dall'utente."); } } ); break; case 'denied': // L'utente ha negato console.log("Notifiche push negate."); break; case 'granted': // L'utente ha già autorizzato console.log("Notifiche push già autorizzate."); sendSubscriptionToServer({ endpoint: permissionData.deviceToken }); break; } } Any suggestions of what I'm missing? Is there a complete guide to how generate the push package? Thank you

We are experiencing an issue with Safari in all versions from 18.0 to 18.5 that does not occur in version 17. It affects both iPhones and Macs. And does not happen in Chrome or Windows. The problem is impacting our customers, and our monitoring tools show a dramatic increase in error volume as more users buy/upgrade to iOS 18. The issue relates to network connectivity that is lost randomly. I can reliably reproduce the issue online in production, as well as on my local development environment. For example our website backoffice has a ping, that has a frequency of X seconds, or when user is doing actions like add to a cart increasing the quantity that requires backend validation with some specific frequency the issue is noticable... To test this I ran a JS code to simulate a ping with a timer that calls a local-dev API (a probe that waits 2s to simulate "work") and delay the next HTTP requests with a dynamic value to simulate network conditions: Note: To even make the issue more clear, I'm using GET with application/json payload to make the request not simple, and require a Pre-flight request, which doubles the issue. (async () =&amp;gt; { for (let i = 0; i &amp;lt; 30; i++) { try { console.log(`Request start ${i} ${new Date().toLocaleString()}`); const res = await fetch(`https://api.redated.com:8090/1/*****/probe?`, { method: 'GET', mode: "cors", //headers: {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, }); console.log(`Request end ${i} ${new Date().toLocaleString()} status:`, res.status); } catch (err) { console.error(`Request ${i} ${new Date().toLocaleString()} error:`, err); } let delta = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10); console.log("wait delta",delta); await new Promise(r =&amp;gt; setTimeout(r, 1000 - delta)); } })(); For simplicity lets see a case where it fails 1 time only out of 10 requests. (Adjusting the "delta" var on the time interval create more or less errors...) This are the results: The network connection was lost error, which is false, since this is on my localhost machine, but this happens many times and is very reproducible in local and production online. The dev-tools and network tab shows empty for status error, ip, connection_id etc.. its like the request is being terminated very soon. Later I did a detailed debugging with safari and wireshark to really nail down the network flow of the problem: I will explain what this means: Frame 10824 – 18:52:03.939197: new connection initiated (SYN, ACK, ECE). Frame 10831 – 18:52:04.061531: Client sends payload (preflight request) to the server. Frame 10959 – 18:52:09.207686: Server responds with data to (preflight response) to the client. Frame 10960 – 18:52:09.207856: Client acknowledges (ACK) receipt of the preflight response. Frame 10961 – 18:52:09.212188: Client sends the actual request payload after preflight OK and then server replies with ACK. Frame 11092 – 18:52:14.332951: Server sends the final payload (main request response) to the client. Frame 11093 – 18:52:14.333093: captures the client acknowledging the final server response, which marks the successful completion of the main request. Frame 11146 – 18:52:15.348433: [IMPORTANT] the client attempts to send another new request just one second later, which is extremely close to the keep-alive timeout of 1 second. The last message from the server was at 18:52:14.332951, meaning the connection’s keep-alive timeout is predicted to end around 18:52:15.332951 but it does not. The new request is sent at 18:52:15.348433, just microseconds after the predicted timeout. The request leaves before the client browser knows the connection is closed, but by the time it arrives at the server, the connection is already dead. Frame 11147 – 18:52:15.356910: Shows the server finally sending the FIN,ACK to indicate the connection is closed. This happens slightly later than the predicted time, at microsecond 356910 compared to the expected 332951. The FIN,ACK corresponds to sequence 1193 from the ACK of the last data packet in frame 11093. Conclusions: The root cause is related to network handling issues, when the server runs in a setting of keep-alive behavior and keep-alive timeout (in this case 1s) and network timming issue with Safari reusing a closed connection without retrying. In this situation the browser should retry the request, which is what other browsers do and what Safari did before version 18, since it did not suffer from this issue. This behaviour must differ from previous Safari versions (however i read all the public change logs and could not related the regression change). Also is more pronounced with HTTP/1.1 connections due to how the keep-alive is handled. When the server is configured with a short keep-alive timeout of 1 second, and requests are sent at roughly one-second intervals, such as API pings at fixed intervals or user actions like incrementing a cart quantity that trigger backend calls where the probability of failure is high. This effect is even more apparent when the request uses a preflight with POST because it doubles the chance, although GET requests are also affected. This was a just a test case, but in real production our monitoring tools started to detect a big increment with this network error at scale, many requests per day... which is very disrupting, because user actions are randomly being dropped when the user actions and timming happens to be just near a previous connection, where keep alive timeout kicks-in, but because the browser is not yet notified it re-uses the same connection, but by the time it arrived the server is a dead connection. The safari just does nothing about it, does not even retry, be it a pre-flight or not, it just gives this error. Other browsers don't have this issue. Thanks!

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.)
