I am a newby to JavaScript, suggested to me to use to automate the task of opening of a Web page, selecting three internal buttons in sequence to download the underlying chart data. I have created the App via Automator on macOS, to run the Script, successfully open the Web Page, but cannot find a way to select and click() on the buttons. Can someone please help me. Robert. This is the code suggested by Grok 3 Beta, but I see this error: Error: First parameter passed to Document Constructor must be an object. function run(input, parameters) { var Safari = Application('Safari'); Safari.activate(); // Open the AEMO data dashboard (Grok 3 Beta recomendation opens the web page correctly) Safari.Document().make(); Safari.windows[0].currentTab.url = 'https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem'; delay(10); // Wait for page to load // Click the Fuel Mix tab (target the active in the tabs) Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('.tabs .active').click()"); delay(5); // Wait for tab content to load // Select 48 hrs from the dropdown Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('#interval').value = '48H'; document.querySelector('#interval').dispatchEvent(new Event('change'))"); delay(5); // Wait for selection to take effect // Click the download button Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('.visualisation-icon-button').click()"); return input; }

The order nor -webkit-order properties of a child element of a flex parent dosen't work in Safari 18.3. Works correctly in FireFox and Chrome.

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?

Even default Safari Web Extension project is not displayed on iOS 18.4 simulator ("No extensions installed"), so it's not possible to test extensions in simulator, only on real device.

I'm converting a Chrome Extension to a Safari Web Extension, I found it's not easy to get favicon of current tab/url natively. The tab object in Safari doesn't have favIconUrl. { 	"id": 121, 	"index": 6, 	"active": true, 	"width": 1324, 	"audible": false, 	"url": "https://github.com/", 	"mutedInfo": { 		"muted": false 	}, 	"windowId": 2, 	"title": "GitHub", 	"incognito": false, 	"pinned": false, 	"height": 935, 	"highlighted": true, 	"status": "complete" } 		 2. I didn't find Safari has similar thing like chrome://favicon 3. I found Safari's favicon caches in ~/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache/favicons but have no idea how to use them in Safari Web Extension.

I don't think the issue is specific iOS 18. We have a web application that runs with IIS Authentication of Windows and Anonymous. Initially the app opens and the user clicks a button and triggers the "401 Challenge" via ASP.NET. The browser presents the Active Directory login, user enters credentials, clicks Sign In, and the browser hangs (may actually be negotiating something). After a few minutes the user is logged into the application. We have done a number of google searches/AI to try to determine what to change and there is no clear solution. Is there anything else to try? This problem is not seen in Chrome on iOS or on a Windows machine. Strangely it is also not seen using BrowserStack with one of their "real" devices. We have other apps that run with just Windows Authorization and this problem is not observed.

Hi all, With version 18.4 beta, I have a problem with the display of webviews in the app. In particular, the app of my bank has webviews inside it, and as they are not loading, I am unable to access it. Can you help me? Thank you.

As of IOS 18.3, there browser.tabs.create methods active property which is supposed to determine whether a tab get open in the active window or not is not working as it should. I have the active property set to false but the tab still gets opened and is active on the window. Tested on older ios versions 18.2 and below and it works as it should. please advise

Hello, I'm using Safari 18.2 on Sonoma 14.6.1. I was using the Developer Tools to do a Local Request Override in the Source tab for a CSS file that had a changing query string. I thought I had a good regular expression to catch all variants, but apparently it was too generic and possibly wrong, and made both Source and Network tabs no longer work in my Safari. The regular expression I entered for the Local Request Override was: //build/style.css(?.*)?$ Now my dev tools is broken to the extent that the Source and Network tabs no longer work. The slide-out panel on Source that shows Breakpoints, LocalOverrides, etc no longer shows. The toggle for it does, but does nothing now. UI in general looks a little wack on both tabs. So, since I can't turn off the Local Request Override, I've been trying to locate where Safari may have stored it to manually delete it. Not having a lot of luck on that front. It seems to me that Safari was unable to escape my regular expression correctly and it then causes additional issue. Just a guess though. Any advice or help in getting Safari Source & Network working again / manual removal of the LocalOverride would be greatly appreciated. I'm fluent in OSX and Linux, but grep was not much help surfacing anything that worked. Thanks in Advance, possibly a Safari bug as well.

Is this symbol, which Safari uses to the left of the address bar, in the public SF Symbols set? What's it called?

I am a developer working on a Safari extension that handles video playback, and I’ve encountered an issue with Safari version 18.2. When I open the developer tools to inspect the browser, videos fail to play as expected. It worked well on safari version 18.1. Details: Safari Version: 18.2 Operating System: macOS Sequoia v15.2 Additional Information: I’ve tested the extension with various video formats and sites. Clearing the cache and disabling other extensions did not resolve the issue. There are no error messages displayed in the console related to the extension. If I close inspecting, then extension(video playback) works well. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to address this issue, as it impacts the functionality of my extension. Thank you for your help!

We are seeing an issue in Safari on iOS 26 where the a automatic unfocus of on select box dismisses the second one. <select name="choice1" onblur="console.log('onblur1');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus1');"> <option value="first">First Value</option> <option value="second" selected>Second Value</option> <option value="third">Third Value</option> </select> <select name="choice2" onblur="console.log('onblur2');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus2')"> <option value="first">First Value</option> <option value="second" selected>Second Value</option> <option value="third">Third Value</option> </select> select something in choice1. quickly tap choice2 before onblur1 is logged. At the timing of onblur1 the selection menu for choice2 is dismissed. Anyone know how to fix this behavior?

"The Safari web extension packager enables you to package and distribute your Safari extensions using App Store Connect from any web browser, without requiring a Mac or access to Xcode." I upload the unzipped folder I'd test in Chrome://extensions to the Safari web extension packager in App store connect. I get error: Embedded binary's bundle identifier is not prefixed with the parent app's bundle identifier. The only solution i've seen to this error involves xcode/a mac, being without which doesn't help

I have a Safari Extension which replaces default new tab and puts a link on a generated new tab. This link can be either usual URL link, or a URL Scheme, something like plecoapi://x-callback-url/df?hw=${char}&sec=dict In iOS 17 and previosly, this link worked flawlessly. In iOS 18, including 18.2, this X-Callback-URL link works only once, if I kill Safari process, reopen Safari and tap the link. Each subsequent tap will just reload the page, link won't work anymore until the next Safari reload. Usual URL links works every time without a problem.

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.

We have a JavaScript api that queries our Secure Browser to get the network information – signal strength, network name, plugged in/wifi. Everything worked fine through the Tahoe betas, still does. Now we are getting on the network name and this is breaking our UI. Was this an intentional change or a bug? The other two properties still appear to be working. And it works in all lower MacOS versions. We are currently obtaining it through AppleScript try   set ssid to do shell script "system_profiler SPAirPortDataType | awk '/Current Network Information:/ {getline; sub(/^ +/, ""); sub(/:$/, ""); print}'"   if ssid is equal to "" then     return "Not connected to any Wi-Fi network."   else     return ssid   end if on error errMsg   return "Error: " & errMsg end try

Since Safari requires a macOS app as a container for Web Extensions, is there a way to establish native messaging directly from SafariWebExtensionHandler using stdin/stdout? Or does Safari enforce a different communication mechanism? I’d like to keep the same approach as other browsers. Any guidance on making this work would be appreciated!

I have a Safari extension that plays audio via the javascript AudioContext API. It was working fine under iOS 17 and is now broken under iOS 18. It does not play audio at all. I've tried in both the iOS 18 public beta and the iOS 18.1 developer beta. It is broken in both of them. I've also created Feedback item FB15170620 which has a url attached to a page I created which demonstrates the issue.

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. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Open App Then loads the local file in /WKWebViewLocalDemo.app/Contents/Resources/test.html PS, We also submit a DTS &amp; Feedback DTS:Case-ID: 11876957 Feedback-ID: FB16493282 sysdiagnose is in the Feedback-ID: FB16493282 is uploaded

Hello, We’ve been using the CesiumJS WebGL library for several years, both on our website and within embedded WebViews in our iOS application. Since upgrading to iOS versions 18.2 and 18.3, we’ve started receiving numerous user complaints regarding application crashes on various iPad and iPhone models when loading CesiumJS. The crashes occur as soon as the 3D view initializes, and the error consistently reported is: "WebGL context lost" This issue appears to be a WebGL-related crash potentially triggered by GPU memory handling or allocation limits. However, we are not detecting any abnormal memory consumption prior to the crash, and the same setup works perfect on older iOS versions and on all Android devices and versions. Steps to Reproduce: Open: https://www.flightradar24.com/30.47,-94.84/8 Click on any aircraft icon on the map. In the aircraft details panel at the bottom, click on the “3D view” tab. On iOS 18.2 or 18.3, the page will crash shortly after initializing CesiumJS WebGL. Affected Devices: This issue is occurring across a wide range of devices, including: iPad 9th Generation iPad Pro (11-inch, 2nd Gen) iPhone SE (2020 and 2022) iPhone 11, 11 Pro iPhone XR iPhone Mini All of the above are running iOS 18.2 or 18.3. The problem does not occur on Android or previous iOS versions. Request: Has anyone else encountered similar issues with WebGL context loss after upgrading to iOS 18.2 or 18.3? Are there any known changes in memory limits or WebGL behavior in these recent iOS updates? We’d appreciate any insight or suggestions on workarounds or potential fixes. Thank you!
