I wanted to create a public contact card so when my clients click a button on my website it traverses them through the iMessage API and instantly adds a contact card with photo and name as a background task. If there is implications my next question was going to be if there is a possible way to create a public contact card where for example I could redirect a client to iMessage and when starting a new conversation if they type in a name it pops up instead of needing to utilize a phone number? I am trying to explain my thought process as much as possible but I have been typing for hours. In simple terms is there a possibility to create a public contact card that can be accessed or texted by anyone who types in a name into new conversation bar?

We have a Web Extension that uses firebase for auth. It was working fine until the latest version of Safari 18.3 got released few days ago on January 27, 2025. All of out extension versions stopped working on it; even the ones that are published on App Store. It uses FirebaseJS v9.23.0. Same version of the extension are working fine on other browsers. We use onAuthStateChanged to listen to auth related events; but it is never fired now.

Hi there, we have found a problem, after switching audio tracks multi times when play the HLS, there will be a few seconds of no sound playing after audio track switching, Is there a solution to this problem?

I'm currently experimenting to add 3d stereo images in HEIC format to my daily Mars Rover Images website https://areo.info/mars20 which can be opened on a Vision Pro. Only a few images are yet converted into that mode, those on the sol 1411 page. As I'm currently only working in the Vision Pro Simulator from Xcode, no real 3d effect if of course visible and I'm curious if anyone using the real hardware can confirm that the images are working. Especially the eye distance correction is important to know about as the Mars Rover camera has a much wider pupil distance than humans and while I entered that distance in the conversion tool, I'm not sure if it worked well. So feedback is welcome! For those who like to try to create stereo images themselves: I used https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ImageIO/writing-spatial-photos to create a HEIC file from two JPEGs.

If the host name included in the URL of the PWA and the host name included in the URL of the xlsx file accessed from within the PWA match, the upper menu portion of the application selection screen for opening the xlsx file will be blank. However, if the host name in the PWA URL is changed from the PC name to an IP address and the host name in the URL of the xlsx file accessed from within the PWA is left as the PC name so that the host names do not match, the upper menu portion of the application selection screen for opening the xlsx file will be displayed. (e.g., the Safari icon appears in the upper right corner). Is anyone else experiencing the same phenomenon? Is it a bug?

Hi Apple developers, I am very new to XCode and Swift, I am planning to build an app for iOS from a web. I tried to use WKWebView to handle the web , I managed to redirect some of the links to Safari, however some button/links didn't trigger .linkActivated function and encounter the error as "Your browser preventing this app to open “URL”. If I copy the URL to Safari is able to open, I trying to research on web but can't find any related solution for my case. Here is the code in my app: import UIKit import WebKit import SafariServices class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate { var webView: WKWebView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Initialize WKWebView let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration() //enable javascript webConfiguration.preferences.javaScriptEnabled = true webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame, configuration: webConfiguration) webView.navigationDelegate = self self.view.addSubview(webView) // Load a web page as webview if let url = URL(string: "https://myurl") { let request = URLRequest(url: url) webView.load(request) } //console log webView.evaluateJavaScript("console.log('Button clicked!')") { result, error in if let error = error { print("Error executing JavaScript: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { print("JavaScript result: \(String(describing: result))") } } } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) { if let url = navigationAction.request.url, navigationAction.navigationType == .linkActivated { // Check if URL is external and open it in Safari if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(url) { UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) decisionHandler(.cancel) // Prevent loading the link in the WebView } else { decisionHandler(.allow) // Allow loading if URL cannot be opened in Safari } } else { decisionHandler(.allow) // Allow the WebView to load the URL normally } } }

When I access my website through Safari, I see Deceptive Warning. My website has only html with no styles, just text and my contacts leading to github-like services. I also have an SSL certificate. At the same time, going through online ios emulators, there is no warning, I checked through different versions of ios. I sent many requests to websitereview, but personally I get such a warning.

Hello, we built an ios app using the capacitor framework (app rendered in webview) and recently implemented a cookie based authentication mechanism. What we have no reliable information about is for how long these first-party cookies are stored and if/when they are cleared by some Apple policy. There is a lot of conflicting information out there and I want to reach out here to get some definitive information about this topic. For how long are first-party cookies persisted using ios webview via capacitor. Is there any way to influence that behaviour? Thank you very much. Best Regards Marcus

I have a url that I want to stream, the stream is protected by basic auth. I am using URLAuthenticationChallenge (wkwebview navigation delegate function) method to provide my credentials. the credential changes with every stream url. The issue I am facing is that URLAuthenticationChallenge is never called upon refresh or on new URL request until the app is killed and opened again. I have tried: clearing cooking setting cache to ignore opening an another blank url using child view approach setting wkwebview instance to nil I always end up with 401 in decidePolicy (wkwebview delegate functions) on subsequent refresh call. Upon inspecting I see that it is using my previous used credentials and never calling challenge to update. *Backend has a no-cache policy in its header. **I am using http resource, the aim is to have streaming service on iOS. class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate, WKUIDelegate { @IBOutlet weak var wkWebView: WKWebView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let url = URL(string: "http://some-ip-address/some-path")! var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.httpMethod = "GET" wkWebView.configuration.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true wkWebView.navigationDelegate = self wkWebView.load(request) } // this is just called once. we want to call it everytime our page refreshes. // we have tried clearing cache and cookies but failed to call challenge func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didReceive challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge, completionHandler: @escaping(URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition, URLCredential?) -> Void) { let credential = URLCredential(user: "user", password: "password", persistence: .forSession) completionHandler(.useCredential, credential) } }

Hello! I've made a Safari extension that supports command "ReTab", and a couple of month ago, adding a customized macOS shortcut for Safari with menu title "ReTab" did trigger the extension. However, it's not working anymore and I'm not sure if it's from macOS/Safari update or because I changed manifest from v2 to v3 - could you help check if there's anything wrong with either the manifest.json or background.js? (the default Cmd+E still works) Thank you in advance! Xun manifest.json: { "manifest_version": 3, "default_locale": "en", "name": "ReTab", "description": "Go to the last active tab with Cmd+E!", "version": "1.4", "homepage_url": "https://LycheeIsle.com", "background": { "service_worker": "background.js" }, "action": { "default_icon": "images/toolbar-icon.svg" }, "permissions": [ "commands", "tabs", "storage" ], "commands": { "ReTab": { "suggested_key": { "default": "Command+E" }, "description": "Go to the last active tab" } }, "options_page": "options.html" } in background.js, I have this line which should listen to the command, and Cmd+E works but any customized shortcut for "ReTab" in Safari doesn't: browser.commands.onCommand.addListener(async (command) => { if (command === "ReTab" || command === "retab") { await retab() } });

Hello, i've read about this error, which means a DNS-Problem. Some hints: I'm using an Apple MDM and have set up an cardDAV-Server with "Radicale". If i set up the account for this cardDAV on the iPhone manually, everything works fine, i even can get the Website on my cardDAV in Safari without problems. If i deploy this payload with my MDM, i'll get the Error and after We'll refresh if we find a better network connection. I don't understand where the problem is. Thomas

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!

Hi, I need a version of a web app to be accessible on a local network (LAN), when the users connect to a wifi without internet access. I provide a valid TLS certificate to validate the website. There is also a local DNS (dnsmasq), with the following entries to return NXDOMAIN, as specified by the documentation. server=/mask.icloud.com/ server=/mask-h2.icloud.com/ However, without internet (no cellular data), there is an error in Safari instead of the website. When there is some internet connection, there is a warning that allows to continue to the website by showing the IP address, which is not clear for the user. iPhone users are very frustrated. Is there a solution?

I am using SFSafariViewController to process payments via a Stripe checkout URL. Once the payment is completed, the user is redirected to a success URL. I have also added associated domains for deep linking. Below is my implementation: func presentCheckout(url: String) { showProgressHUD() let checkoutURL = URL(string: url)! safariVC = SFSafariViewController(url: checkoutURL) safariVC.delegate = self self.present(safariVC, animated: true) } // Delegate method implementations func safariViewControllerDidFinish(_ controller: SFSafariViewController) { print("SafariViewController dismissed") // Handle dismissal } func safariViewController(_ controller: SFSafariViewController, initialLoadDidRedirectTo URL: URL) { print(URL.absoluteString) if URL.absoluteString.contains("xsworld/payment/stripe/checkout/success") { controller.dismiss(animated: true) { if URL.absoluteString.contains("/v1/resources/xsworld/payment/stripe/checkout") { NotificationCenter.default.post( name: Notification.Name("StripePaymentStatus"), object: nil, userInfo: ["url": URL] ) } } } else if URL.absoluteString.contains("xsworld/payment/stripe/checkout/cancel") { // Handle failure NotificationCenter.default.post( name: Notification.Name("StripePaymentStatus"), object: nil, userInfo: ["url": URL] ) } } func safariViewController(_ controller: SFSafariViewController, didCompleteInitialLoad didLoadSuccessfully: Bool) { if didLoadSuccessfully { print("Initial page loaded successfully") } else { print("Initial page load failed") } } Issue: The safariViewController(_:initialLoadDidRedirectTo:) method does not always get called after the payment is completed. Sometimes it works as expected, and sometimes it does not trigger at all. What I’ve Tried: Ensuring the associated domains for deep linking are correctly set up. Checking the success and failure URLs. Debugging to see if the redirect happens but is not detected. What I Need Help With: I want to ensure that the redirection always works after the payment process is completed, whether through deep linking or another reliable approach. How can I guarantee that my app correctly detects and handles the redirect every time? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

I am building Safari extension. In my background script I am setting badge text and title like this: browser.action.setBadgeText({text: badgeText, tabId: tabId}); browser.action.setTitle({title: badgeText + " found images", tabId: tabId}) , where tabId is correct id of current tab. I was expecting that in this way I am setting a different badge and title for different tabs, so that badge and title would automatically switch if I activate different tab. However this does not happen, badge and title behave as if set globaly and don't change with tabs. How is this expected to work? I have also tried to set badge globally, and update it every time user switches a tab. I have set up listener like this: browser.tabs.onActivated.addListener(function(actInfo) { console.log("switched tab to " + actInfo.tabId); }); , however the event never fires, tab switch is never logged in console. Am I doing something wrong here? This is my manifest, if there was a problem with permissions or something similar. { "manifest_version": 3, "default_locale": "en", "name": "Test", "description": "Test Extension", "version": "1.0", "icons": { "48": "images/icon-48.png", "96": "images/icon-96.png", "128": "images/icon-128.png", "256": "images/icon-256.png", "512": "images/icon-512.png" }, "action": { "default_title": "a test title", "default_popup": "popup/hello.html", "default_icon": { "16": "images/toolbar-icon-16.png", "19": "images/toolbar-icon-19.png", "32": "images/toolbar-icon-32.png", "38": "images/toolbar-icon-38.png", "48": "images/toolbar-icon-48.png", "72": "images/toolbar-icon-72.png" } }, "web_accessible_resources": [ { "matches": ["*://*/*"], "resources": ["images/*", "css/*", "scripts/lib/*"] } ], "background": { "service_worker": "scripts/background.js", "type": "module" }, "content_scripts": [ { "js": [ "scripts/content.js" ], "matches": [ "http://*/*", "https://*/*" ], "css": ["css/style.css"], "run_at": "document_end" } ], "permissions": [ "nativeMessaging", "tabs" ] }

I built and extension for chrome, edge, and firefox. I'm porting the chrome extension to safari using the safari-web-extension-converter tool. This has worked successfully and I was able to publish my extension to the app store. I made some updates to the service worker code recently and I'm now being hit with an error when trying to load my unsigned extension into safari: The service_worker script failed to load due to an error. I've looked online at some other forums and haven't found anything helpful around how to debug this kind of error. Because the service worker is non-persistent in safari, I don't have access to the console logs of the service worker through the Develop > Web Extension Background Context menu. Has anyone successfully debugged this kind of error? Are there logs I can pull directly from safari that would help me here? Thanks in advance for the help!

We have a PWA that can be added to a users home screen. In IOS 17, when added to a phones home screen, the camera works as expected. Since testing this on an IOS 18 device, the camera does not work. I am asked if I want to allow the camera. After saying yes, it never loads. I do see a red camera icon in the top bar, but the camera doesn't show. When trying the PWA in the safari web-browser, the camera works as expected

We have a Angular/Cordova application which is internal and is deployed on 10th gen iPad's currently. After updating the iOS version to 18.2 (current patch 18.2.1) the touch events on buttons and other views forms such as div are not firing the desired typescript methods. We are getting the touch events on the screen with relevant script which uses eventListner for debugging the touchevent but it doesn't fire at relevant methods at times. "click" can be replaced with "touchend "and "submit". document.addEventListener('click', (event) => { handleGlobalEvent(event, 'click'); });
