On iOS 18.0, when setting a cookie with SameSite=None; Secure, the attribute does not take effect and is automatically converted to SameSite=Lax.
On iPhone 16 running iOS 18.0(Xcode 16.2), cookies configured with SameSite=None; Secure fail to apply correctly—iOS forcibly converts the attribute to SameSite=Lax. As a result, cross-site requests from H5 pages within our app cannot carry the required cookies, causing failures. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

WebView permission
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?

Apple Script to Automate Web Page Plot Data
Can someone please help me: I do not have the brain space (85yo) to figure out an Apple Script or Java Script app to do this simple task. I have spent a few hours each day, over several days, and have made zero progress on such an apparently simple task. I wish to create an Automator App for the macOS Safari browser that will schedule (via a Calendar Event) the download of the 48hr data behind the hourly Fuel Mix Plot Data from the AEMO Web Site, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Here is the link to the AEMO web site: AEMO, Energy Systems, Electricity, National Electricity Market (NEM), Data (NEM),Data Dashboard https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem The 48 hour hourly Fuel Mix data is found by selecting the "Fuel Mix" button (which by default will display the NEM Current Trend). The 48 hour trend is displayed by tapping on the small "Current" pulldown menu, and selecting "48 hrs". The 48hr Data is down loaded by selecting the small circular button just to the right of the pulldown menu. a) AEMO Web Site: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem b) Main Menu, and underlying html, c) Fuel Mix menu, Pulldown list, DownLoad button, and underlying html, I am familiar with C++ and have built Xcode Apps, and used Excel Macros extensively in the past. Thank you. Robert.

WalletPush - Issue with JWT authentication
Hello, I find it difficult to find information about this function, but Apple would allow you to download a Wallet ticket via a JWT signed token, without going through a pkpass, by calling the url https://wallet.apple.com/push/pass? Jwt= + jwt I have made several attempts with a different payload, either I am redirected to the Apple Pay presentation page, or I have a 403 error. I think I'm on my way, but I must miss a step in my signature. Could someone help me and give me the structure or how to manage the key? At the moment I use an Identifiers type PassType ID linked to a Certificate. Has anyone heard of this novelty? According to ChatGPT it should date from iOS 16-18 and potentially not be open to all devs. Thank you! Beautiful day

macOS 15.0.1: Any supported way to auto‑enable a Safari App Extension on unmanaged Macs (no MDM)?
Hi all, Question: Can Apple confirm that, on macOS 15 without MDM/supervision, there is no supported API, entitlement, auth right, or config file that can enable a Safari App Extension without some form of user interaction? Environment • OS / Safari: macOS 15.0.1 (Sequoia), Safari 18.x • Distribution: Signed, notarized, stapled PKG installs a host app that contains a Safari App Extension • Management: No MDM allowed (and thus no supervision) • Goal: Have the extension come up enabled immediately after install, without requiring the user to click the checkbox in Safari Settings ▸ Extensions What we already know / tried Normal install flow – After PKG install, the extension shows up disabled. User must check the box to enable. SFSafariApplication.showPreferencesForExtension(...) – We can deep‑link the user to our row, but they still need to click “Enable.” Accessibility/UI scripting – We can script the click if the user grants our helper Accessibility permission. That still involves user interaction. .mobileconfig with Safari Extensions Management (AlwaysOn) – From what I can tell, this requires a supervised device enrolled in MDM. Installing that profile manually on an unsupervised Mac does not enforce the “AlwaysOn” state. Auth rights / Developer mode – Looked at auth.db rights like com.apple.Safari.allow-unsigned-app-extensions, and the Develop menu “Allow Unsigned Extensions.” Neither appears to auto‑enable a signed extension, and we don’t want to use private/unsupported APIs anyway. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

HTML problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version
We confirmed a problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version. For confirmation, we made a HTML document (see below HTML1) what include ‘method="POST" target="_blank"’ and tested the form however server received GET method and there is no parameter, server did not receive “id” parameter. We confirmed that fact in captured packet and log file that on the server. HTML1: We also made another HTML document (see below HTML2) what include submit button, but the server received GET method as above. HTML2: And we also confirmed that it behaves differently depending on the network environment. If the form targets a name that does not exist (ex. target=” A12345”), behaves differently http or https. http: Safari opened new tag, but the server received GET method. Normally, Safari open new tag and the server receive POST method. https: Safari opened new tag, and the server received POST method. It is normally. If the form targets ‘_blank’, the server received GET method on http or https both. We think Safari change the method POST to GET and delete parameters. It is not conformed to the HTML specification if is that true. We confirmed it was not happened at Safari on iPadOS 17.4, and Windows PC (Edge, Chrome). The method what the server received is POST. We find same problem in Apple Support Community (see below URL). https://discussionsjapan.apple.com/thread/255987615 (Described in Japanese) Is it a bug in Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version? Do you have plan to fix? Or if fixed the bug, when do you release fixed version.

WKNavigationDelegate methods not getting called even though
Hi everyone, We work on a macOS plugin which then gets loaded into another application. I'm trying to load a webpage in that application through our plugin using a WKWebView & I set my class as the navigationDelegate for the same. I do not receive any callbacks for the WKNavigationDelegate methods. I have debugged & made sure that the navigationDelegate is actually set to my class. Here is a sample code of what I'm doing : [[NSApplication sharedApplication] runModalForWindow:self.mWindowController.window]; - (void)windowDidLoad { [super windowDidLoad]; [self.window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self]; [self.window orderFrontRegardless]; if (self.mLoadingView == nil) { self.mLoadingView = [[LoadingView alloc] initWithFrame:[[self.window contentView] frame]]; } [[self.window contentView] addSubview:self.mLoadingView]; [self.mLoadingView showLoadingView]; [self.window setLevel:NSMainMenuWindowLevel]; [self loadWebPage]; } -(void)loadWebPage { [self.mWKWebView setUIDelegate:self]; [self.mWKWebView setNavigationDelegate:self]; [self.mWKWebView stopLoading]; NSURL *lURL = [self samplePageURL]; WKNavigation *lNavigation = [self.mWKWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:lURL]]; } - (void)webView:(WKWebView *)pWKWebView didFinishNavigation:(WKNavigation *)pNavigation { [self removeLoadingview]; [self.mWKWebView evaluateJavaScript:@"document.body.setAttribute('oncontextmenu', 'event.preventDefault();');" completionHandler:nil]; } I do not get any calls in the webView:didFinishNavigation: & I also tried other methods like webView:didStartProvisionalNavigation, webView:didFailProvisionalNavigation:withError: etc but did not receive any call in those either. Instead of runModalForWindow: if I use showWindow: on the mWindowController the webpage somehow loads but I still don't get any callbacks & so the loadingview subview is also present. The WKWebView is placed in a storyboard, and I have an IBOutlet connected to it in my class. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can point me to something I might be missing? All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

New WebView in iOS 26 Pull To refresh support
The new WebView implementation in *OS 26 versions is a very valuable addition to the SwiftUI toolset. I was experimenting with it and was wondering how to implement a Pull To Refresh. While this was easily achievable with the "old" WKWebView I was not able to find an API to implement, for example, a page reload when the user uses a pull to refresh gesture. I tried to attach to a .refreshable(_:) modifier to the WebView but without success. Is there an official API for that or should maybe .refreshable(_:) already work and it's just a bug or is it simply not yet supported? Here is a minimal example I was trying but didn't succeed: struct ContentView: View { @State private var page = WebPage() var body: some View { NavigationStack { WebView(page) .refreshable { page.reload() } } } } Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Safari Extension: Cookie Header Missing in Background Fetch from Non-Default User Profile (Works in Default Profile)
When our Safari Web Extension makes a api request from its background script (registered via "scripts" in manifest.json, e.g., "background": { "scripts": ["js/background.bundle.js"] }) to our authenticated API endpoint (https://api-domain/user), the Cookie header is not included in the request. This occurs only when the extension is running within a non-default Safari User Profile. This causes our API to treat the user as unauthenticated. The exact same extension code, manifest, and API call work correctly (Cookie header is present and user is authenticated) when the extension is running in the Default Safari User Profile.

Install Safari Extension fails with "Unable to download App" and "Operation not permitted" in log
We have a Safari extension that's been up on the App Store for about 18 months with no apparent issues. This week, however, while working on an update, we uninstalled the production version on our test machines and installed a developer version. When we had some issues, we tried to go back to the production version downloaded from the App Store, but we get an pop saying "Unable to download App." In the log, the most obviously relevant error is 'Operation not permitted'. This occurs on several machines and different logins on those machines in both norma and safe modes. However, on another machine that never had one installed, we could still install the app from the app store, so I suspect there is something left behind that needs to be removed, but I don't know what. FWIW, I see the download directory getting created under /Applications, but it is promptly removed when the failure popup appears. Any suggestions?

PAC ( Automatic Proxy Configuration ) Script Not working with Safari MacOS version 15.1
We have written a PAC script that blocklists certain domains and whitelists others. We went to Settings > Network > Wi-Fi (the network we are using), then clicked on Details, and under Proxies, we added the PAC file URL in the Automatic Proxy Configuration section. We tried hosting the PAC file both on localhost and on a separate HTTP server. After saving the settings, we tested several URLs. The blocking and allowing behavior works correctly in all browsers except Safari. Below is the PAC script we are using for your reference. The script works as expected in browsers other than Safari. This is how the PAC script URL looks: http://localhost:31290/proxy.pac function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { var blacklist = new Set(["facebook.com", "deepseek.com"]); var b_list = [...blacklist]; for (let i = 0; i < b_list.length; i++) { let ele = b_list[i] + "*"; if (shExpMatch(host, ele) || shExpMatch(url, ele)) { return "PROXY localhost:8086"; } } if (isIPBlocked(whitelist_subnet, hostIP)) { return "PROXY localhost:8087"; } if (isIPBlocked(blacklist_subnet, hostIP)) { return "PROXY localhost:8086"; } return "PROXY localhost:8080"; }

Why does NSURLSession with Multipath entitlement seamlessly switch to cellular when on a hardware Wi-Fi with no internet, but WKWebView does not?
正文:大家好, 当设备连接到没有互联网的 Wi-Fi SSID(例如,硬件设备的 AP)时,我看到 NSURLSession(multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive)和 WKWebView 之间的行为存在令人费解的差异。我正确启用了多路径授权,在这种情况下: NSURLSession 请求会自动回退到蜂窝网络并成功(无需用户干预,快速切换)。 WKWebView 加载失败或停滞:Web 内容未出现,即使系统网络路径得到满足并确认了真正的 Internet 可访问性,Web 视图似乎也没有使用蜂窝路径。 环境: iOS 版本:(例如 iOS 18.4) 设备:(例如 iPhone 15 Pro) 多路径权利:在应用程序中启用,使用 NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive 连接的 SSID:硬件设备 Wi-Fi,无需外部互联网 预期回退:一旦 Wi-Fi 没有互联网,就会自动到蜂窝网络,如 NSURLSession 所观察到的那样 我做了什么/观察到什么: 使用多路径的 NSURLSession 按预期工作:NSURLSessionConfiguration *cfg = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];cfg.multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive;NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:cfg];NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]];NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [session dataTaskWithRequest:req completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *resp, NSError *err) { NSLog(@“NSURLSession result: %@, error: %@”, resp, err); }];[任务简历];连接到设备 Wi-Fi(无外部 Internet)时,会话会悄悄地切换到手机网络并成功完成。 相同情况下WKWebView加载失败:[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]]];Web 视图要么显示负载失败,要么只是挂起,即使较低级别的监视报告网络路径已满足并且真正的 Internet 连接可用。 网络路径监控逻辑: 我使用 C API nw_path_monitor来监视nw_path_status_satisfied。 一旦观察到满意,我就会使用nw_connection(例如,连接 tohttps://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html)执行真正的连接检查,以验证真实的互联网流量是否可以通过蜂窝网络流动。 该检查通过,确认回退到手机网络,但 WKWebView 仍不会加载内容。同时,相同条件下的 NSURLSession 请求会立即成功。 示例日志记录跟踪:[+] nw_path_status_satisfied=1, hasWiFi=1, hasCellular=1 [+] Internet 连接测试:准备就绪(通过 nw_connection) [-] WKWebView 加载失败/停滞 [+] NSURLSession 请求成功完成 问题: 为什么当 Wi-Fi 没有 Internet 时,具有多路径服务类型的 NSURLSession 无缝使用蜂窝网络,但 WKWebView 不表现出相同的回退行为?WKWebView 是否不以相同的方式接受系统的多路径回退?在这种情况下,它是否使用不同的网络堆栈或忽略多路径授权? 是否有一种受支持的方法可以强制 WKWebView 像 NSURLSession 一样运行? 例如,我是否可以通过启用多路径的 NSURLSession 桥接内容,并通过自定义方案将其注入 WKWebView? 是否有任何 WKWebView 配置标志、首选项或策略启用相同的自动接口切换? 与原始 NSURLSession 相比,WKWebView 处理网络接换、路径满意度或多路径的方式是否存在已知限制或记录在案的差异? 我排除/尝试过的: 已验证多路径授权是否包含且处于活动状态。 确认的网络路径“满足”,并且在调用 [webView loadRequest:] 之前,真正的 Internet 可访问性成功。 将 WKWebView 加载延迟到连接验证之后。 观察到 NSURLSession 请求在相同的连接条件下成功。 任何对内部差异、推荐的解决方法或 Apple 推荐的模式的见解,以使 Web 内容在“没有互联网的 Wi-Fi”+ 自动回退到蜂窝场景中变得健壮,我们将不胜感激。 谢谢!

Instead of runModalForWindow: if I use showWindow: on the mWindowController the webpage somehow loads but I still don't get any callbacks & so the loadingview subview is also present. The WKWebView is placed in a storyboard, and I have an IBOutlet connected to it in my class. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can point me to something I might be missing? All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

New WebView in iOS 26 Pull To refresh support
The new WebView implementation in *OS 26 versions is a very valuable addition to the SwiftUI toolset. I was experimenting with it and was wondering how to implement a Pull To Refresh. While this was easily achievable with the "old" WKWebView I was not able to find an API to implement, for example, a page reload when the user uses a pull to refresh gesture. I tried to attach to a .refreshable(_:) modifier to the WebView but without success. Is there an official API for that or should maybe .refreshable(_:) already work and it's just a bug or is it simply not yet supported? Here is a minimal example I was trying but didn't succeed: struct ContentView: View { @State private var page = WebPage() var body: some View { NavigationStack { WebView(page) .refreshable { page.reload() } } } } Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Safari Extension: Cookie Header Missing in Background Fetch from Non-Default User Profile (Works in Default Profile)
When our Safari Web Extension makes a api request from its background script (registered via "scripts" in manifest.json, e.g., "background": { "scripts": ["js/background.bundle.js"] }) to our authenticated API endpoint (https://api-domain/user), the Cookie header is not included in the request. This occurs only when the extension is running within a non-default Safari User Profile. This causes our API to treat the user as unauthenticated. The exact same extension code, manifest, and API call work correctly (Cookie header is present and user is authenticated) when the extension is running in the Default Safari User Profile.

Install Safari Extension fails with "Unable to download App" and "Operation not permitted" in log
We have a Safari extension that's been up on the App Store for about 18 months with no apparent issues. This week, however, while working on an update, we uninstalled the production version on our test machines and installed a developer version. When we had some issues, we tried to go back to the production version downloaded from the App Store, but we get an pop saying "Unable to download App." In the log, the most obviously relevant error is 'Operation not permitted'. This occurs on several machines and different logins on those machines in both norma and safe modes. However, on another machine that never had one installed, we could still install the app from the app store, so I suspect there is something left behind that needs to be removed, but I don't know what. FWIW, I see the download directory getting created under /Applications, but it is promptly removed when the failure popup appears. Any suggestions?

PAC ( Automatic Proxy Configuration ) Script Not working with Safari MacOS version 15.1
We have written a PAC script that blocklists certain domains and whitelists others. We went to Settings > Network > Wi-Fi (the network we are using), then clicked on Details, and under Proxies, we added the PAC file URL in the Automatic Proxy Configuration section. We tried hosting the PAC file both on localhost and on a separate HTTP server. After saving the settings, we tested several URLs. The blocking and allowing behavior works correctly in all browsers except Safari. Below is the PAC script we are using for your reference. The script works as expected in browsers other than Safari. This is how the PAC script URL looks: http://localhost:31290/proxy.pac function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { var blacklist = new Set(["facebook.com", "deepseek.com"]); var b_list = [...blacklist]; for (let i = 0; i < b_list.length; i++) { let ele = b_list[i] + "*"; if (shExpMatch(host, ele) || shExpMatch(url, ele)) { return "PROXY localhost:8086"; } } if (isIPBlocked(whitelist_subnet, hostIP)) { return "PROXY localhost:8087"; } if (isIPBlocked(blacklist_subnet, hostIP)) { return "PROXY localhost:8086"; } return "PROXY localhost:8080"; }

Why does NSURLSession with Multipath entitlement seamlessly switch to cellular when on a hardware Wi-Fi with no internet, but WKWebView does not?
正文:大家好, 当设备连接到没有互联网的 Wi-Fi SSID(例如,硬件设备的 AP)时,我看到 NSURLSession(multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive)和 WKWebView 之间的行为存在令人费解的差异。我正确启用了多路径授权,在这种情况下: NSURLSession 请求会自动回退到蜂窝网络并成功(无需用户干预,快速切换)。 WKWebView 加载失败或停滞:Web 内容未出现,即使系统网络路径得到满足并确认了真正的 Internet 可访问性,Web 视图似乎也没有使用蜂窝路径。 环境: iOS 版本:(例如 iOS 18.4) 设备:(例如 iPhone 15 Pro) 多路径权利:在应用程序中启用,使用 NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive 连接的 SSID:硬件设备 Wi-Fi,无需外部互联网 预期回退:一旦 Wi-Fi 没有互联网,就会自动到蜂窝网络,如 NSURLSession 所观察到的那样 我做了什么/观察到什么: 使用多路径的 NSURLSession 按预期工作:NSURLSessionConfiguration *cfg = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];cfg.multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive;NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:cfg];NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]];NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [session dataTaskWithRequest:req completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *resp, NSError *err) { NSLog(@“NSURLSession result: %@, error: %@”, resp, err); }];[任务简历];连接到设备 Wi-Fi(无外部 Internet)时,会话会悄悄地切换到手机网络并成功完成。 相同情况下WKWebView加载失败:[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]]];Web 视图要么显示负载失败,要么只是挂起,即使较低级别的监视报告网络路径已满足并且真正的 Internet 连接可用。 网络路径监控逻辑: 我使用 C API nw_path_monitor来监视nw_path_status_satisfied。 一旦观察到满意,我就会使用nw_connection(例如,连接 tohttps://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html)执行真正的连接检查,以验证真实的互联网流量是否可以通过蜂窝网络流动。 该检查通过,确认回退到手机网络,但 WKWebView 仍不会加载内容。同时,相同条件下的 NSURLSession 请求会立即成功。 示例日志记录跟踪:[+] nw_path_status_satisfied=1, hasWiFi=1, hasCellular=1 [+] Internet 连接测试:准备就绪(通过 nw_connection) [-] WKWebView 加载失败/停滞 [+] NSURLSession 请求成功完成 问题: 为什么当 Wi-Fi 没有 Internet 时,具有多路径服务类型的 NSURLSession 无缝使用蜂窝网络,但 WKWebView 不表现出相同的回退行为?WKWebView 是否不以相同的方式接受系统的多路径回退?在这种情况下,它是否使用不同的网络堆栈或忽略多路径授权? 是否有一种受支持的方法可以强制 WKWebView 像 NSURLSession 一样运行? 例如,我是否可以通过启用多路径的 NSURLSession 桥接内容,并通过自定义方案将其注入 WKWebView? 是否有任何 WKWebView 配置标志、首选项或策略启用相同的自动接口切换? 与原始 NSURLSession 相比,WKWebView 处理网络接换、路径满意度或多路径的方式是否存在已知限制或记录在案的差异? 我排除/尝试过的: 已验证多路径授权是否包含且处于活动状态。 确认的网络路径“满足”,并且在调用 [webView loadRequest:] 之前,真正的 Internet 可访问性成功。 将 WKWebView 加载延迟到连接验证之后。 观察到 NSURLSession 请求在相同的连接条件下成功。 任何对内部差异、推荐的解决方法或 Apple 推荐的模式的见解,以使 Web 内容在“没有互联网的 Wi-Fi”+ 自动回退到蜂窝场景中变得健壮,我们将不胜感激。 谢谢!
