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.

Hello,
I have an authentication flow where my app communicates with a backend protected by F5 client certificate validation. The client certificate is distributed via MDM and is available in the device keychain, but not accessible directly from the app.
When using ASWebAuthenticationSession (or SFSafariViewController) Safari can successfully pick up and present the certificate during authentication, so that part works fine.
However, the backend’s authenticate endpoint only supports a POST request with an Authorization header, whereas ASWebAuthenticationSession only accepts a GET URL when starting the session.
My questions are:
How is this type of flow typically implemented in iOS?
Should the backend provide a GET-based endpoint that redirects into the POST, or is there a recommended iOS pattern (e.g., an intermediate HTML page that does the POST after certificate validation)?
Are there Apple guidelines on handling certificate-based auth with ASWebAuthenticationSession when the API requires POST, especially for In-House distributed apps?
Any guidance or best practices would be very helpful.

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.
If the Safari Technology Preview window is located on an external monitor with DisplayLink and the computer goes to sleep (screen saver), when it returns, it closes with an error.
If the window is located on another monitor that is connected by USB, it does not close.

DisplayLink Manager: 13.0.1 (build 46)
Video in Landscape takes 2 taps on X to close.This issue can be replicated on iphone 14 ios 18.5.There is no issue on iPhone 15 ios 18.5.
window.location.href = "tel:02-xxxx-xxxx"
Can the development team modify the screen text? Or can the country code be erased?
What are the reasons for continuing to be "on the phone" if the country code is automatically attached to the phone like this?

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

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.

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.

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
Hello,
In iOS 26 beta, we are seeing an unexpected behavior when using SwiftUI WebView (or a custom WKWebView via UIViewRepresentable).
When an alert is presented above the WebView, the WebView immediately reloads to its initial page. The alert itself also disappears instantly, making it impossible for the user to interact with it.
This issue occurs both with the new SwiftUI WebView / WebPage API and with a wrapped WKWebView. The problem was not present in previous iOS versions (iOS 17/18).
Steps to reproduce:
Create a SwiftUI view with a WebView (pointing to any URL).
Add a toolbar button that toggles a SwiftUI alert.
Run the app on iOS 26 beta.
Tap the button to trigger the alert.
Expected behavior:
The WebView should remain as-is, and the alert should stay visible until the user dismisses it.
Actual behavior:
As soon as the alert appears, the WebView reloads and resets to the initial page. The alert disappears immediately.
Minimal Example:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var showAlert = false
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
WebView(URL(string: "https://apple.com")!)
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) {
Button("Close") {
showAlert = true
}
}
}
.alert("Confirm close?", isPresented: $showAlert) {
Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {}
Button("Close", role: .destructive) {}
}
}
}
}
I'm using Xcode Version 26.0 beta 7
Thanks for your help.
Hello all,
As you may know, the company ProofPoint is an Apple partner, and is engaged (I think) to reduce misuse of icloud emails.
We have two servers solely set up for our web-app, which is a specialised forum for apartment owners.
The new servers were established about the same time, with the same provider, with clean new IP addresses - and as mentioned above, are only used for this web-app.
During a testing phase a YEAR ago, we became aware that our in-house icloud emails weren't receiving notifications via the app, and further investigations revealed that the cause was that ProofPoint had placed a block on that server's IP.
We immediately, via their website form initiated a Support Ticket, which, the site indicated was lodged, BUT we have never received any response to that Ticket, nor have we received any response to four subsequent Tickets we initiated - nothing. In over a year!!
Yesterday, we contacted Apple support, but the devices area of support is the main section and they said it wasn't an issue they could assist with.
Some relevant matters:
SPF: DKIM: DMARC:
are, I believe all configured correctly (and Gmail gives a PASS to all of them).
The IP is not blacklisted by any list we are aware of.
Our other server's IP isn't blocked by ProofPoint.
So, literally at wits end, I'm reaching out to the developer subscribers here to see if they have any suggestions for us.
We currently are unable to accept any new subscriber that is using an icloud email address, and that's an absurd situation to be in.
Surely we don't have to go to the trouble and inconvenience of obtaining a new IP because of this!!! But when we can't get ANY response to the Support Tickets, it's really hard.
Thanks

Hi,
We’re implementing Apple Pay on the Web for a multi-tenant platform via a PSP. The PSP operates multiple HSM/clusters and gave us multiple CSRs, asking us to register all.
Our understanding: a Merchant ID can hold several PPCs over time, but only one is active at once.
Questions
Is there any supported way to keep more than one PPC active simultaneously for the same Merchant ID?
If not, what does Apple recommend for web-only, multi-tenant setups: a single MID with PSP-side decryption & sub-merchant separation, or separate MIDs per brand/region?
Any official guidance on PPC rotation and handling many domains for Apple Pay on the Web?
links to official docs or prior Apple responses would be appreciated.
Hi everyone, i'm running into a problem with my personal domain being flagged as 'deceptive website' in safari, and i can't figure out how to fix it
Domain: neon0404.space
This is just my personal domain - i use it for adguard home, vaultwarden, some test stuff, sometimes small web tools for friends or family
Nothing illegal or malicious has ever been hosted there
On july 6, i launched a very simple web utility for a friend
when he opened it on ios safari, he got the red 'deceptive website warning'
I checked this on other different devices - all got the same warning
The next day (july 7) i submitted a review request via websitereview.apple.com, but got no reply
I did some digging and found that safari safe browsing daemon pulls data from google safe browsing, tencent safe browsing, and some apple's internal lists
So, going one-by-one
https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search showed up that domain is flagged for something shady
Signed up in google search console and saw my domain was flagged for 'malware links' (with no related urls listed), so looked like a false positive
I audited everything related to this domain on august 5 - nothing suspicious
Next day i requested a review in Google Search Console, just next day Google confirmed that everything is ok and removed the flag
So, i thought, maybe this was the key and requested another review via websitereview.apple.com (august 7)
No reply, domain still flagged
While i was waiting, i checked domain in Tencent (https://urlsec.qq.com/check.html) - no issues
Other services like VirusTotal, Norton and Sucuri showed up same result - no issues
I attempted to contact regular support (even though it's not their area of responsibility), but just in case
They, as expected, couldn't do anything
At this point it feels like a dead end, so i'm here
Has anyone been through this before?
Is there any other way to escalate the review process with apple?
Really appreciate any advice, as this domain is personal and linked to my username, which i want to use later

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;
}
Area: WebKit (Safari)
Description:
I am reporting an issue where our application's core functionality is being broken by Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP).
ITP's "Link Tracking Protection" feature automatically strips specific query parameters from URLs. We understand this is an intentional privacy feature. However, our application requires these query parameters to carry essential, non-tracking data, such as authentication tokens or specific app-state information to function correctly.
When a user navigates to our site, Safari strips these parameters, this means our client-side application never receives the necessary data, which breaks core features and leads to a failed user experience. This is a significant issue for our application as it prevents users from accessing their content.
We are seeking guidance on how to resolve this.
Questions for Apple:
Is there a recommended way to identify and flag essential, non-tracking query parameters so that Safari's ITP does not strip them?
Our parameters are critical for app functionality, not for third-party tracking. What is the recommended best practice for building web applications that rely on URL parameters while adhering to ITP's privacy-first model?
We want to ensure our application is compatible with modern browser privacy features without compromising functionality.
Could you provide a detailed explanation of what criteria ITP uses to decide which parameters to strip? Understanding the underlying logic would help us restructure our URLs to avoid this issue.
Device Information:
Operating System: iOS and macOS
Safari Version: Latest stable versions on both platforms
Device Models: All relevant models and device types

As you see in the image, when I fullscreen in WKWebView, it shows black instead of the webpage in full screen. It works fine in Sequoia. It has happened to me since beta 1, but I post it now, because we’re in beta 8 and it’s not fixed. What’s going on? Can somebody tell me if they have the same issue?
WebAuthn can be used in Safari, but when using it with WKWebView, you need to set the default browser definition (com.apple.developer.web-browser). Is this correct?
Also, is it possible that the terms of use will change or that it will no longer be available in WKWebView in the future?
