I am trying to run JavaScript only after the page has loaded, and according to here - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_app_extensions/injecting_a_script_into_a_webpage, I should use DOMContentLoaded. However, it does not seem to work. This is my content.js file: function runOnStart() {     document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(e) {         document.body.style.background = "rgb(20, 20, 20)";         document.html.style.background = "rgb(20, 20, 20)";                var divElements = document.body.getElementsByTagName('div');         for(var i = 0; i < divElements.length; i++) {             let elem = divElements[i];             elem.style.background = "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.05)";         }     }); } runOnStart(); If I take the code outside of the event listener, it runs fine, but a lot of the elements haven't loaded in yet so it doesn't work as it should. The function is definitely running, but the event listener simply doesn't work. I appreciate any help you can give!

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. { &#9;"id": 121, &#9;"index": 6, &#9;"active": true, &#9;"width": 1324, &#9;"audible": false, &#9;"url": "https://github.com/", &#9;"mutedInfo": { &#9;&#9;"muted": false &#9;}, &#9;"windowId": 2, &#9;"title": "GitHub", &#9;"incognito": false, &#9;"pinned": false, &#9;"height": 935, &#9;"highlighted": true, &#9;"status": "complete" } &#9;&#9; 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.

Does webkit have a way to display a smart banner for a home screen web app similar to how a smart banner can be displayed for native apps? I recently noticed (10/23) that Twitter showed a smart banner encouraging Home Screen web app on my Mac running Sonoma. How is this done?

Hi there! I'm new to App Development and I'm running into the following error when playing audio on a website loaded through a WKWebView: 0x112000cc0 - ProcessAssertion::acquireSync Failed to acquire RBS assertion 'WebKit Media Playback' for process with PID=70.197, error: Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.multitasking.systemappassertions)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.multitasking.systemappassertions)} Looking through this forum, it seems more people have this issue, yet no one has found a solution (or posted it...). The solutions that I did find (Background Modes capability, webView.configuration.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true), did nothing. To make sure the issue had nothing to do with my own code, I created an empty project to reproduce the issue. I'm not sure on the best way to share it, but it's a small file (forgive me, I have no clue what it does, actually chatGPT made it for me. My real application is a WebApp wrapped with Capacitor, so it handles all the Swift stuff) import SwiftUI import WebKit struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable { let urlString: String func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { let webView = WKWebView() webView.configuration.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true webView.configuration.allowsAirPlayForMediaPlayback = true webView.navigationDelegate = context.coordinator return webView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) { if let url = URL(string: urlString) { let request = URLRequest(url: url) uiView.load(request) } } func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator { Coordinator(self) } class Coordinator: NSObject, WKNavigationDelegate { var parent: WebView init(_ parent: WebView) { self.parent = parent } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFailProvisionalNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) { print("Web page loading failed: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } struct WebViewDemo: View { var body: some View { NavigationView { WebView(urlString: "https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_audio_all") .navigationBarTitle("Web View") } } } struct WebView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { WebViewDemo() } } Nothing special, right? When I build the app and navigate to a website that has an tag (https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_audio_all). I still see the error when I play the audio. It plays nonetheless, but the error is there. I'm not at all interested in actually playing audio in the background/when the app is closed/suspended. I just want the error to go away! I've tried different iOS versions (14,15,16,17), but the problem persists. Anyone know what's happening?

I'm experiencing a Safari Web Extension issue where the non-persistant background script seems to crash after 30 seconds even when the content script is messaging it. Here is a minimal-reproducible example. When running in an emulator, the background script will stay responsive forever. However, when running on a physical device, the background script becomes non-responsive after 30 seconds of activity. It never becomes responsive again until I toggle the extensions enable/disable toggle, after which it stays active for 30 seconds and then crashes again.

Hi! We are having a hard time with the universal link, help is appreciated! Thanks in advance! The universal link doesn't work after installation for some time. A user has to wait for from 5 to a couple of hours after the app is installed on the device. This has also affected App reviewers since we need the universal link to work for successful login. Each submission will receive a rejection of we cannot login and it will be approved until we kindly ask them to try again. I believe the JSON is delivered to devices by Apple's CDN system and the fact that it works on most devices most of the time should imply that we have a valid apple-app-site-association setup. So I am really confused about the wait time, which is giving us trouble with app review and a bad user experience

After updating Xcode to the latest version we observed that SFSafariViewController is not loading web pages on Xcode 16 Simulator with iOS 18, whenever it is presented the View Controller is empty (does not load any content) and the app freezes, but other screens that use WKWebView are working normally. Also, during tests on physical devices with iOS 18 it seems to work just fine, so it might be just a IDE version problem. Is anyone experiencing the same issue? If so, did anyone find a solution for it?

Since iPadOS 18.x WKWebView seems to have a bug within its Fullscreen API (which can be enabled via WKPreferences.isElementFullscreenEnabled). This bug has the effect that websites trying to make an element (for example a video player) fullscreen fail to do so. This does not always happen, most of the time the fullscreen mode does work fine, but sometimes (far too often to be ignored) it does not. If an instance of WKWebView shows this issue, it can not be "fixed" by reloading the page or loading other pages, this issue exists in this instance forever. My App is a web browser App so I can create and remove WKWebView instance easily (by opening or closing Tabs). And there are times where I never see this bug, and times where ever other tab shows this bug. It's totally unreliable. The App does not show any issues at all when running under iPadOS 17 or older. The issue is only present under iPadOS 18.x. After some testing I've found out that when the bug has affected an instance of WKWebView, the JavaScript call element.requestFullscreen() will work if the element is a video element, but does no longer work if it is another element (like a DIV). If an instance of WKWebView is not affected by this bug, element.requestFullscreen() will work for all HTML elements. Does anyone has experienced this bug as well? And maybe found a workaround? Or maybe found a pattern which helps to find out what exactly is triggering this bug?

Hello there I have a nested USDZ file I had created a long time ago with some make-up products. Its behaviour was always the same in the past: nested usdz files allow you to control each object "nested" separately. So I used this as a way to allow people to play around with a "set of objects". Today I went to try it and since I'm on ios 18 it shows an "assets tab" on the bottom that allows me to see all the assets inside the tab but doesn't allow me to see or anchor them at all! What changes do I need to do in order for this to work and where can I check documentation on these new behaviours for USDZ files? And what will this allow for in the future? Thank you in advance

When I'm inspecting a WKWebView in a simulator and the WKWebView loads a local URL with a port number, I've found that most features of Safari dev tools that worked in iOS 17 are broken in iOS 18. Here are the steps I'm taking: Set up a WKWebView with isInspectable = true that loads a local URL, e.g. https://www.local.mydomain.com:3000 Install a self-signed SSL certificate on a simulator for www.local.mydomain.com Run my app on the simulator The WKWebView loads successfully In Safari on my Mac, I can select the WKWebView and open dev tools to inspect it If the simulator is on iOS 17, this works fine, no issues. But if the simulator is on iOS 18, Safari dev tools are mostly broken. I can tell that there is a connection to the WKWebView because the Network tab logs the requests that I expect. But I cannot use any of the other dev tools features: Elements, Sources, Console, etc. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a workaround?

It's being a very long time that I discovery that in some web pages, that use function requestAnimationFrame will cause a lot of cpu, but very little in Chrome. I have already submitted this bug nearly two years ago without printout requestAnimationFrame, no one replied. I submitted again and mention requestAnimationFrame recently, hope there will be some response. If anyone interested in this issue and know some tech in javascript please help. You can enter https://www.baidu.com/ and click one of the topic in all the 百度热搜 which have 弹幕滚动(using requestAnimationFrame, and cause a lot of cpu usage) on right.

Hello, I’m encountering a problem with WebSocket connections in Safari on iOS 18.1 and later when initiated from an iframe. The same implementation works perfectly in other browsers like Chrome but fails in Safari. In Safari, the WebSocket connection fails with error message "WebSocket connection to 'wss://MY_CONNECTION_URL' failed: The internet connection appears to be offline." Has anyone else faced this? Is this a known limitation or bug in Safari? Any workarounds or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition to retrieve the users coordinates in a PWA built with Nextjs. getCurrentPosition is called by clicking on a button. If getCurrentPosition is called afterwards, the cached value is returned. On Safari, If I refresh the page, or logout, login and call getCurrentPosition again, the getCurrentPosition error callback is called with an error code 2 - POSITION_UNAVAILABLE. After around five minutes, getCurrentPosition can be called again. Is there some kind of throttling restriction on Safari navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition?

Hi Apple Team, Can we use SFSafariViewController to launch a 3rd party passkey authentication experience from a native iOS app? Regards

I have an endpoint that generates a .ics file. From my mobile app, I open the browser (Safari) and retrieve the .ics file. In Safari, the events are displayed as expected, and I can use the "Add All" button to add them to the calendar. After clicking "Add All," I can select the desired calendar, and the events are successfully added (see screenshots 1 and 2 below). Here’s the initial .ics file response: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:NAME BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250101T195917Z DTSTART:20250102T131600 DTEND:20250102T142500 SUMMARY:My Event 1 UID:unique-uid1 LAST-MODIFIED:20250101T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250101T195917Z DTSTART:20250103T131600 DTEND:20250103T135600 SUMMARY:My Event 2 UID:unique-uid2 LAST-MODIFIED:20250101T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR Later, I updated the .ics file with new event details: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:NAME BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250102T195917Z DTSTART:20250104T131600 DTEND:20250104T142500 SUMMARY:My Event 1 Update UID:unique-uid1 LAST-MODIFIED:20250104T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250102T195917Z DTSTART:20250105T131600 DTEND:20250105T142500 SUMMARY:My Event 2 Update UID:unique-uid2 LAST-MODIFIED:20250102T155715Z DESCRIPTION:Description SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR I updated everything according to the iCalendar documentation: UID remained unchanged SEQUENCE has been updated DTSTAMP has been updated LAST-MODIFIED has been updated However it seems like that Safari can't handle updates on events. In the preview we can see the changes, but when I click on "Add All" button, nothing happens. The same behavior is working with other calendars like Outlook (web view) or Google Calendar. My Questions: Is there a property missing from my .ics file that is necessary for iOS Safari to handle updates? Is Safari not designed to handle event updates in this way? Should I consider moving to a subscription-based solution to manage updates more reliably? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Python version 3.9.1 Selenium version 4.25.0 Safari version 18.1.1 I want to operate Safari using Selenium. For this purpose, I would like to set the UserAgent to iOS and change the viewport. What should I do? The following is the content programmed with the Chrome driver. I would like to achieve this using the Safari driver. import time,os import chromedriver_binary from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver import Safari from selenium.webdriver.safari.options import Options as SafariOptions from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select from selenium.webdriver.chrome import service # selenium 4 from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()),options = chrome_options) # iPhone 13 params viewport = { "width": 390, "height": 844, "deviceScaleFactor": 3, "mobile": True } #Chrome setting ua = "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 15_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.4 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1" driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Emulation.setDeviceMetricsOverride", viewport) # change user agent driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Emulation.setUserAgentOverride", {"userAgent": ua}) # ページにアクセス driver.get("https://hogehoge")

Is it a specification that the Service Worker doesn’t work in an internal iframe only when the parent page in a WebView is file://? It works in Mobile Safari under the same conditions, and we couldn’t find any specification that says Service Worker-like behavior doesn’t work with this combination. Step to reproduce: We use Vite to develop the application. For the iframe in Webview, Install vite-plugin-pwa with version ^0.20.5 Add VitePWA({...}) to plugins[] array in vite.config.ts Build and preview the app: npm run build && npm run preview. We open a Webview with file:// and then open the iframe with the URL to which we preview the app (We use ngrok to create the URL). Then we open Safari and inspect the Webview but inside the Developer > Service workers tab doesn’t have a registered service worker. For safari, we do the same step 1-3, We open Safari browser with the URL that we have deployed the app (The same URL we used in the iframe in Webview). We go inside the Developer > Service workers tab and it has a registered service worker. Environment: Simulator: IOS 18.2 Safari: MacOS 15.2 Expectation: Safari and the iframe in Webview should have a registered service worker inside the Developer > Service workers.

Hi there, I have a problem that , after I add website at dock but unable to turn on the website from dock & pop up message also mention that app was damaged. This problem appears after I factory reset my iMac. Please kindly advise. Thank guys.

PWA works perfectly fine in safari browsers in mac but in mobile devices it is not working it just shows, There is no internet connection. found a fix from ios release - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-17_2-release-notes but actually it is not solving the issue. in my case even it is not throwing the issue - fix is - Fixed a cache miss bug in DOMCache that triggered service worker fetch errors.

Safari throw a ViewTransition error, called ' Unhandled Promise Rejection: AbortError: Old view transition aborted by new view transition.' however, i don't find how to catch it. i used 'try..catch' or Promise.catch, or catch it in finished/ready/updateCallbackDone Promise. These all don't work.
