This is my first time to post on this forum. If there are something we didn't notice, please tell me. Thanks. Background We're using canvas to provide a web component to marketing. https://demo.mescius.jp/spreadjs/BenchmarkSample/ Problem Recently we have met an issue from customer. He is using iPad 10th to access the web component but when he tries to scroll it and it's very slow on iPad 10th. His iPad OS version is 17.7 and this issue also can be reproduced on our iPad 10th with iPad OS 18.0.1. But if we use iPad 9th with iPad OS 17.7 and 18.0.1, things are fine and there isn't any performance issue. We developer took some time investigating and found it's because of iPad 10th's safari takes longer time to paint each frame. On iPad 9th, it needs nearly 10ms to paint each frame. But on iPad 10, it needs nearly 70ms to paint each frame. Also we can provide simple code for you to check the different. We tried to simulate the repaint when user is scrolling. You can see on iPad 9th, it will be 2~3ms but on iPad 10th, it will be more than 10ms for each frame. test-ipad10.html It has been happening on iPad 10th only with iPad OS 17.6/17.7/18.0. This will be a big problem for us because it means on the iPad 10th (the latest iPad, non Pro or Air), it can't be used. Question Is there anyone knowing similar issue with this one? And do you know how to solve it on iPad 10?

I have a visionOS app using Apple's WebView and WebPage to display web content. When viewing a live YouTube stream last night, YouTube put up the warning in the area that would have the chat window: Oh no! It looks like you're using an older version of your browser. Please update it to use live chat. Anyone know if YouTube is generating this from the server based on the WebPage's user agent string, from Javascript running in the browser engine, or something else? Anyone know if and how it is possible to resolve this? (See right side of YouTube web page from a screen grab):

Hi there, I have a popular open source app called Foqos. What I'm finding in iOS 26 (might even effect older versions) is that when using the webcontent api within Managed settings as the following: store.webContent.blockedByFilter = .specific(domains) It doesn't work on Safari, but does work on third party applications like chrome, firefox, etc. But when using the all and exception enum like the following store.webContent.blockedByFilter = .all(except: domains) This does work on Safari This is pretty inconsistent behavior of the API and should be fixed to match the documentation. Documentation does not mention anything about Safari limitations Again source code is open: https://github.com/awaseem/foqos You can run the app yourself and find the same issues. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I’m developing a Safari App Extension and I want to debug the background.js script. However, I can’t find any tool or option to do this. When I run the extension from Xcode using the ProjectName Extension (macOS) scheme, I expect to see a “ProjectName” item under the Develop → Web Extension Background Content menu. But there’s nothing there. Has anyone encountered the same issue? How did you fix it? Environment: Manifest Version: V3 Safari: 26.0.1 (21622.1.22.11.15) Xcode: 26.0.1 (17A400)

Whenever I make a safari view controller on XCode26 Beta 5, there appears to be a blurry white overlay overtop the controller. This worked fine in XCode26 Beta 2, with no code differences. Anyone have any suggestions?

Dear Apple Developer Support, I’m developing a Chromium-based iOS browser and want to open the Safari settings page (Settings → Apps→ Safari) like Chrome’s “Import data from Safari” feature, where clicking “Go to settings” opens the Safari settings page. To reproduce this behavior in Chrome: 1.In Chrome, search “Import password from Safari.” 2.Restart Chrome. 3.Go to Chrome → Settings → Safari import → Import to Chrome → Go to settings. 4.You will see it opens Settings → Apps → Safari. Please see the attached file for steps to trigger this feature in Chrome. My attempt with App-Prefs:root=SAFARI only opens the Settings main page ,Is there a public API to open the Safari settings page directly? Look forward to your reply,many thanks

I have a website I’m working on that uses WordPress and element mentor pro. Basically everything is custom HTML in individual containers and custom CSS for each page. The problem that I’m running into is there needs to be a pop-up and the easiest way to do that is just use the element or proper pop-ups however, the overlay is not extending into the safe areas on the bottom or top notch. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to fix this, and I cannot get it to work. I’ve tried having CSS in every imaginable way to get it to extend the overlay.. The other issue is for this website there is no header. It’s just a container that’s the hero content and for some reason that also will not extend into the top-notch safe area. It extends to the bottom notch just fine but not the top notch and there’s just a white bar there where I prefer it be the background gradient that I have set up for the hero however, nothing I do will get it to push into that top notch safe area either. Hoping someone else had this issue and can help me out

Hi, it seems that with iOS26 the system displays two entries in the screentime report for apps that use a WKWebView: one for the app itself and one for the website that was displayed in the app. We don't see this behaviour in iOS18.7. I'm reseaching how to disable the recording for the webviews in one of our apps (written in Swift with UIKit). The STWebpageController looked promising, especially the field suppressUsageRecording, but the whole class is poorly documented. We initialized it with the bundle identifier of the app and set the url of the wkwebview as the url in STWebpageController. It looks a bit like this: webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: config) view.addSubview(webView) //setup STWebpageController webpageController = STWebpageController() do { try webpageController!.setBundleIdentifier(bundleIdentifier) } catch{ } webpageController!.suppressUsageRecording = true addChild(webpageController!) view.addSubview(webpageController!.view) webpageController!.view.frame = view.frame webpageController!.didMove(toParent: self) //load url in webView let request = URLRequest(url: url, cachePolicy: .reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData) webview.load(request) webpageController?.url = request.url This has no effect on the recorded screentime for the webview inside our app - we still see the same time for the container app and the included webview. Any suggestions? Thanks, Heiko

I understand that you want echoCancellation and noiseSuppression in most cases, but I would like to be able to turn off all the filter processes for this particular use case. When I set echoCancellation: false in navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia, Safari 26 on MacOS produces stereo recording even if I set channelCount: 1. When I set echoCancellation: true, it produces mono recording as expected. How can I get mono recording with echoCancellation: false and channelCount: 1? Thanks!

iPadOS 26, dark mode Open Safari Search for anything or open a website that has white background Kill Safari Open Safari again I still can reproduce it with Safari on iPadOS 26.0.1 This issue also happens to my app when opening a HTML/JS on WKWebView with white background while using dark mode. I did send a feedback ticket when using iPadOS 26 beta but havent seen any reply. This is my first time sending a feedback so I dont know if Apple would reply or not.

Hello, Recently, there is an issue in my service that after typing korean at input element, first click event is not working. But i knew that other services are also having same problem. It happens only on Safari. Could you guys check this issue? Thank you.

Hi Apple Team, We’ve noticed a couple of issues with launching default App Clip in safari and would appreciate your guidance. App Clip Popup Timing: When launching the App Clip using default URL, we sometimes see the small App Clip popup appear before the App Clip banner is displayed. Ideally, the banner should appear first. Cached URL Handling: In certain cases, the App Clip appears to be using a cached URL instead of the most recent one. For example, when we invoke two different App Clip URLs with unique parameters, the App Clip sometimes launches using the previous URL’s data instead of the new one. This behavior is inconsistent and makes it difficult to ensure users are directed to the correct experience each time. Could you please help us understand whether this is expected behavior or if there are any known issues or recommended solutions? Thank you for your time and support. Example

I'm working on a regular website, in which I'm trying to debug using the (MacOS) Safari Development tools. Since updating my Simulator to iOS 16.4, console.log is no longer displayed in the Console. Even when executing it directly in the console (console.log('test');), it's not printed. Now, I've read that this is a feature for debugging in-app browser content (https://webkit.org/blog/13936/enabling-the-inspection-of-web-content-in-apps/) but can't find the regular web workaround here. TL;DR: No longer see console.log in iOS 16.4 Safari when debugging from my Mac. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Up until some point relatively recently, I have been able to use Safari's web inspector to connect to the iOS simulator in order to debug our web application in development at http://localhost:8088. Now, the web inspector still OPENS, but it opens in a broken state. The context is available to select from Safari's "Develop" menu: Develop > "iPhone 16 Pro (Simulator)" > "localhost - login". It appears under the Safari heading if I have navigated to the web app in the browser, or under the Expo heading if I am accessing it through the webview in our React Native wrapper app. When I select it, the web inspector window does appear. However, once it opens, the Elements pane is empty, the Console pane is empty, expressions entered into the console are not evaluated, there's no content in Sources, Network, Storage, etc. Important notes: This broken state happens at http://localhost:8088 as well as http://127.0.0.1:8088, and it seems that the insecure context is the issue. The web inspector DOES work for HTTPS sites. If I navigate to, e.g., https://example.com in the simulator and connect the web inspector, everything works fine. The web inspector also works fine in Safari on macOS (OUTSIDE the simulator) when accessing non-HTTPS sites. It's only a problem for non-HTTPS sites when connecting to the simulator. A coworker has the same problem, so it is not isolated to my machine. I would enable TLS locally as a workaround, but this web app is very complex, and I know from experience that it is very difficult for various reasons to set it up properly for our project in development, and it will take significant non-trivial work to do so. So... Why is this happening? Is this expected behavior? Is there a way that I can debug my site on localhost without HTTPS?

System/device combinations where the issue does not occur: Physical device: iOS 26.0 (23A5318c) + iPhone 16 Pro Max System/device combinations where the issue does occur: System versions: Physical device: iOS 26.0 (23A5330a), iOS 26.0 (23A340) Simulator: iOS 26.0 (23A339) Device models: Physical device: iPhone 12 Reproducible in Safari, WKWebView, and UIWebView: Yes Actual behavior In WebView (and identically in Safari): Before the keyboard is shown, header/footer elements with position: fixed are correctly aligned with the screen viewport. Scrolling up/down works as expected. After the keyboard appears, the visualViewport position changes. Bug: When the keyboard is dismissed, visualViewport.offsetTop does not reset to 0. As a result, fixed header/footer elements remain misaligned: When scrolling down, the position looks correct. When scrolling up, the header/footer are visibly offset. Steps to reproduce Focus an input field → the keyboard appears Dismiss the keyboard Observe that visualViewport.offsetTop remains >0 (does not reset to zero) position: fixed header/footer elements are misplaced relative to the screen Expected behavior After the keyboard is dismissed, visualViewport.height should return to match the layout viewport, and visualViewport.offsetTop should reset to 0. When scrolling upward, fixed elements should remain correctly positioned within the layout viewport. Minimal reproducible demo A simple HTML file containing: A header and footer with position: fixed An input element to trigger the keyboard <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="zh-CN"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, viewport-fit=cover" /> <title>H5 吸顶吸底页面 Demo</title> <style> * { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; } body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; height: 2000px; /* 设置内容高度 */ background-color: #f0f8ff; /* body 背景浅蓝色 */ padding-top: 120px; /* 预留 header 高度 */ padding-bottom: 60px; /* 预留 footer 高度 */ overflow-x: hidden; } /* 吸顶 Header */ header { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px; background-color: #ff6b6b; /* 红色 */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; color: white; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; z-index: 1000; } /* 吸底 Footer */ footer { position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 60px; background-color: #4ecdc4; /* 青绿色 */ display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; color: white; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; z-index: 1000; } /* 输入框样式 */ .input-container { margin: 100px auto; width: 80%; max-width: 600px; text-align: center; } input[type='text'] { padding: 12px; font-size: 16px; border: 2px solid #ddd; border-radius: 8px; width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; } input[type='text']:focus { outline: none; border-color: #4ecdc4; } </style> </head> <body> <!-- 吸顶 Header --> <header>吸顶 Header (120px)</header> <!-- 主体内容 --> <div class="input-container"> <input type="text" placeholder="请输入内容..." /> </div> <!-- 吸底 Footer --> <footer>吸底 Footer (60px)</footer> </body> </html>

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?

Subject: iOS 26 WKWebView: Remote Pages Become Unresponsive After Loading Local HTML Files Description We're experiencing a critical issue with WKWebView in a React Native 0.64.3 application where remote web pages become completely unresponsive after loading local HTML files in iOS 26. It works well before iOS26. Environment: React Native 0.64.3 iOS 26.0 Xcode 26.0.1 Using custom WKWebView implementations in Native modules Problem Details App loads local HTML files using loadFileURL:allowingReadAccessToURL: Later, when loading remote pages via loadRequest:, the remote pages load successfully but become unresponsive to user interactions This occurs even when using different WKWebView instances The issue is reproducible 100% of the time once a local file has been loaded Restarting the app and loading remote pages directly works fine Code Example: // Loading local file (works fine) [self.webView loadFileURL:localFileURL allowingReadAccessToURL:accessURL]; // Later, loading remote page (loads but becomes unresponsive) NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:remoteURL]; [self.webView loadRequest:request]; What We've Tried: Using different WKWebView instances for local vs remote content Comprehensive cleanup in dealloc (removing all user scripts and message handlers) Loading blank HTML before switching to remote content Using shared WKProcessPool (understanding its limitations in iOS 15+) Ensuring proper decisionHandler management in navigation delegates Resetting WKWebView configuration settings Clearing cookies and cache between loads Using loadFileRequest:allowingReadAccessToURL: instead of loadFileURL: Key Observations: The remote page renders correctly and network requests complete No JavaScript errors in console The view hierarchy appears normal in Debug View Hierarchy Touch events seem to be delivered but not processed by the web content Questions: Has Apple introduced new security restrictions in iOS 26 that affect the transition from file:// URLs to http:// URLs? Are there specific WKWebView configuration changes required for React Native applications in iOS 26? Could this be related to the React Native bridge or JavaScript context persistence? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated, as this is blocking our iOS 26 compatibility.

I have a working answerer-only WebRTC client to view video from a remote device. This client, works in all common web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) except in Safari. After trying to debug the problem, I noticed that after calling await peerConnection.setLocalDescription(answer); RTCPeerConnection.iceGatheringState never changes to the "gathering" state and stays the default initial "new" state. This is a problem because the ICE candidates can never be gathered and thus the client in Safari does not work at all. What is surprising and weird is that by explicitly calling setLocalDescription(), ICE gathering should start as mentioned in the documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/RTCPeerConnection/icecandidate_event. However, in Safari, this never happens. I experienced this issue in both Safari 18.x and 21.x versions.

Hi, we have PWA for which we´ve built a wrapper using PWA Builder tool and we are experiencing an issue with apple sign in. When we try to redirect the user to "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?...params...", a bottom sheet login prompt appears and only once the user signs in using the prompt he is then redirected to the url where he needs to sign in again and then we get the callback. We want to get rid of that bottom sheet prompt. The code we´ve tried: ` iosButton.addEventListener('click', function () { window.location.href = "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=xxxxx&redirect_uri=xxxxx&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=name%20email&response_mode=form_post"; });` The alternative code we´ve tried for which it seems that nothing happens, we only see the "Started" alert, we´ve confirmed that there is no other error : ` <script src="https://appleid.cdn-apple.com/appleauth/static/jsapi/appleid/1/en_US/appleid.auth.js"></script> <script> (function initAppleSignIn() { try { window.AppleID.auth.init({ clientId: "{{ env('APPLE_WEB_CLIENT_ID') }}", scope: "name email", redirectURI: window.location.origin +"/auth/apple/callback", usePopup: true }); } catch (e) { console.warn('Apple Sign-In init skipped:', e); } })(); function appleButtonClicked() { alert("Started"); try { const res = await window.AppleID.auth.signIn(); } catch (err) { alert("Got error"); } alert("Got here"); } </script>

After updating to the new iOS, in Safari, my overlays and backdrops using 100dvh no longer cover the full screen there's now a gap at the bottom. Switching to 100vh fixes it, but that causes scrolling issues on older Safari versions since 100vh includes extra height. Has anyone else experienced this? What's the recommended fix that works across iOS versions?
