Hi, this is my first post in the community, so please correct me if i am posting this somewhat in a wrong manner.
Im using my Apple M1 Pro(14inch, 2021) and installed the os 26 yesterday.
Today, I was using Safari, and all of sudden it gets frozen, then the following window popped up.
Is this something expected? i.e. my usage is somewhat unusual or is there any report around potential memory leak in Safari? appreciate any suggestions, as Safari is my main browser and currently on hold due to this issue. Thanks

The app I work on uses WKWebView to render customer data. In iPadOS 26, we observe that there is a delay when resizing the window (and thus the web view) before the content is re-rendered. The same behavior is visible in Safari.
For demonstration purposes, consider this test page: https://phet-dev.colorado.edu/html/build-an-atom/0.0.0-3/simple-text-only-test-page.html
Initially, the window is small:
Then when the window is expanded, the content scales up temporarily:
It eventually re-renders to the correct size, but then if you make the window small again, you get (temporarily):
Is there anyway around this behavior? We would love to have the content reflow interactively.
I'm using the new iOS 26 WebPage/WebView for SwiftUI in a NavigationStack. The initial load works as expected, but when loading items from the back/forward lists, the content jumps beneath the navigation bar:
struct WebPageTestView: View {
var webPage = WebPage()
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
WebView(webPage)
.toolbar {
Button("Back") {
if let backItem = webPage.backForwardList.backList.last {
webPage.load(backItem)
}
}
Button("Forward") {
if let forwardItem = webPage.backForwardList.forwardList.first {
webPage.load(forwardItem)
}
}
}
}
.task {
webPage.isInspectable = true
webPage.load(URL(string: "https://domchristie.co.uk/"))
}
}
}
I have run this on the iOS 26.0 and 26.1 Simulators and get the same issue.
The demo website does not use any JavaScript.
I was able to replicate this behaviour using a wrapped WKWebView and calling the .ignoresSafeArea(.all) modifier.
After updating to Safari 26.0 (on macOS Sequoia or Tahoe), the Declarative Net Request (DNR) API rule with "type": "redirect" no longer works as expected.
When the rule is applied, the browser initially shows a banner at the top of the page:
"This webpage was reloaded because a problem occurred."
After the reload, the page fails to load and displays an error page with the message:
"A problem repeatedly occurred with https://extensionworkshop.com/?test=true "
This behavior is new in Safari 26.0. The same rule was working correctly in earlier Safari versions (17.x / 18.x).
Hi,
I have an app that uses WKWebView and it's crashing on iOS 26 Simulator in places I've never had problems before. In this case it's crashing when calling WKWebView.callAsyncJavaScript, but in my other project WKWebView is crashing with some sort of EXC_BAD_ACCESS other than callAsyncJavaScript.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm not able to get the webauthn attestation statement using the option (attestation.direct) on Safari. The answer I get is a fmt of none and a aaguid of zeros.
The same code works on Chrome and I was able to get a none zero aaguid and a packed fmt attestation.
Can you explain why this does not work on Safari ?
Thank you.
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;
}
I have observed Safari App starts crashing when running with my safari extension.
Our Safari extension polls the host app every 60s. The extension receives and completes requests in
func beginRequest(with context: NSExtensionContext)
(we always call context.completeRequest(...)). The crash is intermittent: beginRequest itself does not throw.
Looking for guidance about likely causes. I am attaching the snippet from crash report.

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">

<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />

Despite using the iPad in landscape mode, self-camera video is forced to portrait (Rotate 90 degrees).
Only the video is portrait, even though the browser is in landscape orientation.
Our app use getUserMedia() to get the video.
The problem also happend in iPad Safari GoogleMeet.
Details:
The problem occurs even when the screen orientation is locked.
After the video has been forced to portrait, rotating the iPad temporarily changes the video to landscape, but forces it to portrait again.
It takes around 0 - 30 seconds before the video is forced to portrait.
Both selfie camera and back camera
I have confirmed this problem on the following devices
iPad 8th iPadOS: 18.3.1
iPad10th iPadOS:18.3.1
iPadPro(M4) iPadOS:18.3.1
Some devices do not have this problem, even if they are the same model and OS version.
I have tried the following
restart
factory reset
Configuration changes (Settings > Apps > Safari)
SETTINGS FOR WEBSITES
Camera > Allow, Ask
Microphone > Allow, Ask
Advanced > Feature Flags
Reset All to Defaults
Screen Orientation API (Locking / Unlocking)
Screen Orientation API
WebRTC AV1 codec
Please help me to resolve this problom. 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.
The passkey authentication dialog appears, and after unlocking with Touch ID, the dialog closes without any notification of success or failure.
This issue occurs with high frequency.
access to the https://passkeys-demo.appspot.com/
register account and create passkey.
logoff
access to the url again
you can see the passkey dialog
unlock device then the dialog disappears
nothing happens
reload the page
proceed 5) to 6)
nothing happens or success webauthn.

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.
Based on the "Build immersive web experiences with WebXR"-Video for visionOS there is no way to disable the consent prompts for entering an immersive experience or consent hand-tracking. For the microphone it's possible to "greenlight" specific websites for mic input, which works great.
I'd welcome it, if it were possible to add specific websites in the settings, in which those consent dialogs aren't shown each time.
In my opinion, the user interaction through a button that launches the experience would be sufficient to not disorient.
Hi guys, I'm trying to use sign in with apple in javascript, I followed the guider in the website, and almost find everything I can find in Google, but nothing help, here is my situation:
I create a new App: com.yuhan.test.app
I create a new service ID: com.yuhan.test.service
configure a domain and return url
domain: tts.perterpon.com
returnURL: https://tts.perterpon.com/login
create a new key for Sign In with Apple.
my html code is here, it's easy, but it always told me invalid_client, I think I have done anything I need to do, can somebody help me? Thank you so much.
you can test my online web site: https://tts.perterpon.com/login.html
`
const buttonElementNew = document.getElementById('appleid-signin');
buttonElementNew.addEventListener('click', async () => {
try {
const data = await AppleID.auth.signIn()
console.log('Try/Catch Data', data.authorization.id_token);
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append("token", data.authorization.id_token);
await fetch("", {
method: "POST",
body: formData,
});
// Handle successful response.
} catch (error) {
// Handle error.
}
});
</script>
Test Scenario:
Initial Setup:
Register a passkey on Chrome (MacBook) with cross-platform option
The passkey syncs to iPhone via iCloud
Both devices share same iCloud account
Authentication Tests:
Chrome on MacBook:
Using hybrid transport (QR code with iPhone) → PRF output A
Using platform authenticator → PRF output B (different)
Safari on MacBook:
Only uses platform authenticator → PRF output B
Expected Behavior:
When using same credential ID and salt, PRF output should be consistent across browsers/devices
We are encountering an issue where the Safari extension we are developing stops working while in use on relatively new iOS versions (confirmed on 17.5.1, 17.6.1, and 18). Upon checking the Safari console, the content script is displayed in the extension script, so the background script or Service Worker must be stopping. The time until it stops is about 1 minute on 17.5.1 and about one day on 17.6.1 or 18.
When it stops, we would like to find a way to restart the Service Worker from the extension side, but we have not found a method to do so yet. To restart the extension, the user needs to turn off the corresponding extension in the iPhone settings and then turn it back on.
As mentioned in the following thread, it is written that the above bug was fixed in 17.6, but we recognize that it has not been fixed. https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758346
On 17.5.1, adding the following process to the background script prevents it from stopping for about the same time as on 17.6 and above.
// Will be passed into runtime.onConnect for processes that are listening for the connection event
const INTERNAL_STAYALIVE_PORT = "port.connect";
// Try wake up every 9S
const INTERVAL_WAKE_UP = 9000;
// Alive port
var alivePort = null;
// Call the function at SW(service worker) start
StayAlive();
async function StayAlive() {
var wakeup = setInterval(() => {
if (alivePort == null) {
alivePort = browser.runtime.connect({ name: INTERNAL_STAYALIVE_PORT });
alivePort.onDisconnect.addListener((p) => {
alivePort = null;
});
}
if (alivePort) {
alivePort.postMessage({ content: "ping" });
}
}, INTERVAL_WAKE_UP);
}
Additionally, we considered methods to revive the Service Worker when it stops, which are listed below. None of the methods listed below resolved the issue.
①
Implemented a process to create a connection again if the return value of sendMessage is null. The determination of whether the Service Worker has stopped is made by sending a message from the content script to the background script and checking whether the message return value is null as follows.
sendMessageToBackground.js
let infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
if (!infoFromBackground) {
// If infoFromBackground is null, Service Worker should have stopped.
browser.runtime.connect({name: 'reconnect'}); // ← reconnection process
// Sending message again
infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
}
return infoFromBackground.message;
Background script
browser.runtime.onConnect.addListener((port) => {
if (port.name !== 'reconnect') return;
port.onMessage.addListener(async (request, sender, sendResponse) => {
sendResponse({
response: "response form background",
message: "reconnect.",
});
});
②
Verified whether the service worker could be restarted by regenerating Background.js and content.js.
sendMessageToBackground.js
export async function sendMessageToBackground(sendParam) {
let infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
if (!infoFromBackground) {
executeContentScript(); // ← executeScript
infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
}
return infoFromBackground.message;
}
async function executeContentScript() {
browser.webNavigation.onDOMContentLoaded.addListener((details) => {
browser.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId: details.tabId },
files: ["./content.js"]
});
});
}
However, browser.webNavigation.onDOMContentLoaded.addListener was not executed due to the following error.
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58295
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58539
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58539
③
Verify that ServiceWorker restarts by updating ContentScripts
async function updateContentScripts() {
try {
const scripts = await browser.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts();
const scriptIds = scripts.map(script => script.id);
await browser.scripting.updateContentScripts(scriptIds);//update content
} catch (e) {
await errorLogger(e.stack);
}
}
However, scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts was not executed due to the same error as in 2.
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58359
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58456
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58456
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58549
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58549
These are the methods we have considered. If anyone knows a solution, please let us know.
I'm not loving the huge Favorites icons in Safari on MacOS 26, is there a way to reduce the size of them so that we can see more favorites on the list without scrolling down?
I have a Net8 Maui WebView app and whenever I use magnifier, it crashes.
The magnifier works on iOS18 and lower but crashes on iOS26+

We’re seeing an issue in our Safari Web Extension where not all cookies from the Set-Cookie response header are accessible. We are using macOS 15.4 and Safari 18.4.
In the webRequest.onHeadersReceived callback, the Set-Cookie header returned by Safari only includes some of the cookies set by the server. If multiple Set-Cookie headers are present, we seem to receive only a partial list, some cookies are missing entirely.
In Chrome and Firefox, the same callback provides all cookies set by the server without issue.
We are looking for assistance in fixing these issues and having our Safari Extension function the same as it does in Firefox and Chrome.
