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.

Is it possible to open the native app from a web extension? I have tried creating a new tab that uses the app's URL scheme but the UI asking the user to open the app is not shown until the new page UI is dismissed. Creating a tab with an HTTPS URL that the app is setup to handle does not work and always the link in a new tab. I tried sending a message to the app extension and using NSExtensionContext.open(_:completionHandler:) but the URL is not opened and the closure received false, indicating it was not handled. Having the option to link back to the native app would be very useful.

Hi, in our app we have a WKWebView with complex web content that is loaded with cachePolicy: .reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData. If the app is in the background for several hours and returns in the foreground we noticed that the system reloads the webpage, but it does so with a cachePoliy returnCacheDataElseLoad. This could break the app if older cache content is present. To reproduce start an app in the simulator (tested with iOS 17.2), put it in the background and via activity monitor stop the processes com.apple.Webkit.WebContent com.apple.Webkit.networking After foreground the reload will happen. Two questions: why is this reload happening after some hours in the background? We haven't seen any crash reports related to this. It mostly happens on one of our test devices (iphone13 with iOS17.2.1). why is the webview reloading with a modified cachePolicy (returnCacheDataElseLoad)? Our temporary fix is to detect this case in "webView:decidePolicyFor navigationAction decisionHandler", cancel the request and reload with modified cachePolicy. Any ideas? Thanks, Heiko Sample code: class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate, WKUIDelegate { var webView: WKWebView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: config) webView.uiDelegate = self webView.navigationDelegate = self view.addSubview(webView) let myRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")!, cachePolicy: .reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData) print("request \(myRequest)") webView.load(myRequest) } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) { print("start loading \(String(describing: navigationAction.request.url)), cache:\(navigationAction.request.cachePolicy)") decisionHandler(.allow) } override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() { super.viewDidLayoutSubviews() let fullscreen = CGRect.init(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.size.width, height: view.frame.size.height) webView.frame = fullscreen } }

I'm building a share extension for my app when I noticed something weird. When I open a mobile URL (URLs with "m." like m.randomsite.org) on iOS using a browser (I'm using Safari & Chrome) and then try to share it, what will be share is the URL without the "m." (i.e. randomsite.org) This messes up with my app since I'm not getting the real URL that I'm viewing using the browser. I don't think it has something to do with my app since even selecting "Copy" when sharing will result in the altered URL too. So far this is happening on both iOS 17 and 18. Does someone know whether this is a bug from iOS or not? I don't think this is a Safari bug since I noticed the same thing on Chrome as well

Hello I have a webrtc-based web app that is loaded inside a WKWebView. The web app gets loaded just fine in our iOS App running WKWebView on an iPad with iOS 15.1. We are using the exact same app, built for Mac Catalyst. However, on the Mac version, the web app gets loaded but the RTCPeerConnection object is undefined.. Meaning that our web app assumes that WebRTC is not available in that browser. Isn't the native app supposed to work the exact same on iOS and MacOS? Is the Mac version of WKWebView more limited than its iOS counterpart ? Is there any resource that states exactly what is supported in WKWebview in each platform? Thanks

I am encountering an issue where we are unable to run or launch Safari Driver in our automation tests using macOS. When attempting to run safaridriver -p 8888 from the terminal, we receive the following error message: ERROR: safaridriver could not launch because it is not configured correctly or you need to authenticate. Re-run safaridriver(1) and pass the '--enable' flag to configure and/or authenticate. For more information, consult the safaridriver(1) man page. Despite running sudo safaridriver --enable as an administrator (even as root), the issue persists. I’ve searched through various online forums and GitHub repositories but couldn’t find a working solution.

I have a Safari Web Extension that successfully receives a message from a webpage and returns a response. I now want to add a user interface to the Safari Web Extension. How do I do this? I have modified the default template code as follow to add an NSAlert for testing. The modal runs, but no alert ever appears, and the code remains stuck at runModal. What is the correct way to add a UI to a webextension? - (void)beginRequestWithExtensionContext:(NSExtensionContext *)context {     id message = [context.inputItems.firstObject userInfo][SFExtensionMessageKey];     NSLog(@"Received message from browser.runtime.sendNativeMessage: %@", message);     NSAlert* alert = [[NSAlert alloc]init];     [alert setMessageText:message[@"request"]];     [alert setInformativeText:@"Hello"];     [alert runModal];     NSExtensionItem *response = [[NSExtensionItem alloc] init];     response.userInfo = @{ SFExtensionMessageKey: @{ @"id": message[@"id"], @"uuid": message[@"uuid"], @"contentType": message[@"contentType"], @"response": message[@"request"] } };     [context completeRequestReturningItems:@[ response ] completionHandler:nil]; } @end

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.

We used declarativeNetRequest.getMatchedRules() to retrieve the blocked URLs. While we do receive a list, we noticed that the URLs captured do not always reflect the ones the content blocker is actively blocking at that moment. However, upon reloading the same page, the correct URLs appear. Screenshots are attached for your reference. First load: After reload:

Recently we started noticing in Safari v18.2 browser an unexpected useragent set for https://www.espn.com pages like - "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/110.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" (recognized as Chrome by most UA detection logic) and breaks our video playback in some scenarios. When digging into this we came across site specific quirks and the "Disable site-specific hacks" setting which fixed the playback functionality and set a more expected UA - "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/18.2 Safari/605.1.15". Is the unexpected UA being set somewhere in Safari/Webkit? Can this be removed so site functionality works without needing to find the "Disable site-specific hacks" setting?

I recently noticed that putting the app on background for some time, then switching back to it again causes the WKWebView to reload the current page, same with just hitting f5 on it. How do we disable this behavior?

I reported this bug one year ago in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/746406, but as it is not been fixed yet, I'm going to try by opening this new incident report. iOS is not working for the Unicode Variation Selector-15 (U+FE0E) for all the characters. Can you please apply that variation selector to all your Unicode characters? I) Steps to reproduce the issue: navigate in safari to the page https://eurovot.com/vs.htm II) Expected result: as the 1st column of characters have the Variation Selector-15 (U+FE0E) applied, and the 2nd column have the Variation Selector-16 (U+FE0F) applied, the first column should always display text characters (in orange) and the second column emoji characters. III) Error result: some characters are working fine in the 1st column and displayed as text (in orange colour), but some other aren't displayed as text, they wrongly displayed as emojis instead.

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with transparent WebM videos rendered via WKWebView in an iOS Capacitor app. The videos play normal, however, they display a black background frame, which does not occur in the web version of the app. I've tried: Playing with the css setting, Enabling experimental WKWebView features, Adjusting meta tags for inline video playback and hardware acceleration. That my code: showThumbs={false} showStatus={false} showIndicators={true} showArrows={false} infiniteLoop={true} autoPlay={true} interval={5000} // Change slide every 5 seconds onChange={(index) => { if (playerRefs.current[index]) { playerRefs.current[index]?.seekTo(0); playerRefs.current[index]?.getInternalPlayer()?.play(); } }} > {videos.map((video, index) => ( <div key={index} className="video-slide"> <ReactPlayer ref={(player) => (playerRefs.current[index] = player)} url={video.src} playing={isLoaded[index]} // Play only when video is loaded loop muted width="100%" onReady={() => handleVideoReady(index)} // Set loaded state when video is ready style={{ backgroundColor: 'transparent' }} config={{ file: { attributes: { playsInline: true, }, }, }} /> <p className="description">{video.description}</p> </div> ))} </Carousel> Working with React, capacitor. The videos work perfect when I test it on the web app, the problem occurs just on my ios app

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>

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

I have a Safari App Extension which allows users to switch between last open tabs with a shortcut option+tab in the same way it's possible to switch between last open apps with command+tab. Here is how i do it: I inject a content script on all websites which has the only thing – key listener for option+tab presses. When a user presses option+tab, that keyboard listener detects it and sends a message to the Safari Handler. Then Safari Handler sends a message to the containing app and it shows a panel with last open tabs. This approach has a problem: it shows a message to a user in settings: "Can read sensitive info from web pages, including passwords..." Which is bad, because in reality i don't read passwords. If i remove SFSafariContentScript key in the Safari App Extension target's Info.plist, then this message about reading sensitive data disappears, but then i loose the ability to open the tabs panel. How can I open my app window with a shortcut without frightening a user? It's possible to listen to global key presses, but that would require a user to grant the app permissions of Accessibility (Privacy & Security) in macOS system settings, which also sounds shady. I know an app which does not require an Accessibility permission: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/tabback-lite/id6469582909 and at the same time it does not tell a user about reading sensitive data in the extension settings. Here is my app: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/tab-finder/id6741719894 It's open-source: https://github.com/kopyl/safari-tab-switcher

When I open a URL in a tab in a Profile, I see that cookies are applied accordingly. When I do a fetch request with {"credentials":"include"} in the extension background page in a Profile, the cookies are not sent in the request. This, however, works when doing it in the normal "Personal Profile".

Dear Apple Developer Experts, We're experiencing an intermittent issue with WKWebView in our macOS application where local HTML file access is occasionally denied by the sandbox, despite proper implementation and permissions. We seek your guidance in understanding and resolving this issue. Issue Description: The WKWebView occasionally fails to load local HTML files stored in the app's Contents/Resources directory Error occurs in WebKit Networking Process with sandbox denial Issue is intermittent and can be resolved by app restart or WebKit Networking Process restart Affects all local HTML files in the same directory once the issue occurs Technical Details: Error from Kernel Log: 2025-02-07 14:57:17.179821 +0800 kernel Sandbox: com.apple.WebKit.Networking(58661) deny(1) file-read-data /Applications/DingTalk.app/Contents/Resources/webcontent/contact-2024.html WKWebView Delegate Error (captured in WKNavigationDelegate method): (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView didFailProvisionalNavigation:(WKNavigation *)navigation withError:(NSError *)error Error Details: Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code: 1 Description: "Operation not permitted" UserInfo: { networkTaskMetricsPrivacyStance: Unknown, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey: LocalDataTask &lt;3694CA1E-481B-4E06-975D-E3A56AD56C0F&gt;.&lt;1&gt;, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey: 1, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey: 1 } Key Observations: Error is captured in WKNavigationDelegate's didFailProvisionalNavigation method The issue affects all local HTML files in the same directory once it occurs Temporary workarounds we've discovered: Restarting the application completely resolves the issue Without restarting the application, terminating the "WebKit Networking Process" via Activity Monitor causes the process to automatically restart, and this resolves the issue and load works again Additional Information: We've collected complete system diagnostics (system_logs.logarchive) at the time of failure The issue appears similar to discussions in Apple Developer Forums (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/110072), though we're uncertain if it's the same root cause We've prepared a minimal demo project demonstrating: Our release version app can be downloaded from: https://dtapp-pub.dingtalk.com/dingtalk-desktop/mac_dmg/Release/M1-Beta/DingTalk_v7.6.45_43521682_universal.dmg?spm=0.0.0.0.UuwovG&amp;file=DingTalk_v7.6.45_43521682_universal.dmg for examining our app's codesign, sandbox, and entitlements configurations if needed Important Investigation Finding: We attempted to simulate the issue by using chmod 000 /path/to/test.html, but this produces a different error: CopyError Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1102 Description="You do not have permission to access the requested resource." UserInfo={ NSLocalizedDescription=You do not have permission to access the requested resource., NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=file:///Users/sunus/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WKWebViewLocalDemo-eumardnlfbmwgnhkaadglsrrhzhs/Build/Products/Debug/WKWebViewLocalDemo.app/Contents/Resources/test.html, NSUnderlyingError=0x600003aedc50 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1102 "(null)"} } This error is distinctly different from our original issue's "Operation not permitted" error, suggesting that the sandbox denial we're experiencing is not a simple file permission issue. Questions: Is this a known issue with the WebKit sandbox in recent macOS versions? Are there recommended best practices or workarounds to prevent this sandbox denial? Could this be related to the WebKit Networking Process's sandbox configuration? Are there additional diagnostics or logs we should collect to help investigate this issue? We appreciate your assistance in investigating this issue. Please let us know if you need any additional information or clarification.
