We are seeing network errors in Outlook mail on iOS and MacOS safari browsers. As per current investigation, we notice these network error when the user tries to use outlook after leaving it open on Safari for a while. Observations: Issue present in both MacOS and iOS safari. Issue is not present in other webkit browsers like brave and edge on iOS. Issue is reproable on both mini and big owa on safari browser. Issue is not related to post requests being sent in different packets on safari browser. Requests are only blocked for outlook.office/outlook.live domains What does not fix this issue? Reloading the application Clearing cookie, local storage or session storage Unregistering service workers Redirecting to a different page and coming back to outlook domain Re authenticating the users What fixes this issue? Reconnecting to wifi or mobile network Reconnecting vpn Removing safari from background and reopening Flushing the dns in setting

I would like to know if there is a way to disable Smart Punctuation from the webpage rather than requiring the user to do so from the settings. Adding a "inputmode=verbatim" attribute to the input HTML tags for my webpage did that for all the web browsers I tested on Windows, Ubuntu, Android, and MacOS. I tested Chrome and Firefox on all platforms, as well as Edge on Windows and Safari on Mac and iOS. So far the only time it did not disable Smart Punctuation was on Safari on iOS, but it did on MacOS.

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!

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.

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?

How can I make a background image take the entire screen in ios26? I've tried position fixed, sticky, env() css variables but nothing worked. It does it when in PWA mode, but I would like to do so in the browser too.

Whenever I make a safari view controller on XCode26 Beta 5, there appears to be a blurry white overlay overtop the controller. This worked fine in XCode26 Beta 2, with no code differences. Anyone have any suggestions?

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"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" /> <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"> <title>サンプル</title> </head> <body style="background:#00ff00"> <main> <p>テキスト</p> </main> <div id="overlay" role="dialog" aria-modal="true" data-test-id="health-warning-modal" style=" color:#000000; position:fixed; inset:0; z-index:30000; background:#2563eb; display:grid; /* 初期表示：表示中 */ align-items:center; justify-content:center; overflow-y:auto; " > <div style=" padding:60px 16px; display:flex; flex-direction:column; gap:20px; width:100%; box-sizing:border-box; " > <p style=" font-weight:700; text-align:center; margin-top:20px; font-size:28px; line-height:1.4; " > オーバーレイ </p> </div> </div> </body> </html>

After updating to the new iOS, in Safari, my overlays and backdrops using 100dvh no longer cover the full screen there's now a gap at the bottom. Switching to 100vh fixes it, but that causes scrolling issues on older Safari versions since 100vh includes extra height. Has anyone else experienced this? What's the recommended fix that works across iOS versions?

We have a SAML-based SSO App Extension that uses WKWebView to load the SAML login request. This implementation has been working correctly on iOS versions prior to 26. However, starting with iOS 26, the extension consistently crashes when calling WKWebView.load(_:). The crash occurs inside WebKit, specifically in: /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/WebKit/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/WebsiteData/WebsiteDataStore.cpp at WebKit::WebPageProxy::loadRequest(...) No app-level exception is thrown, and the extension terminates with: Thread 10: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x1a31dbe00) It appears that WKWebView initialization or WebsiteDataStore creation is now restricted in extension contexts on iOS 26, but this change is not documented in the SDK release notes. Could you please confirm if this is an intentional sandbox restriction in iOS 26 or a regression in WebKit? Steps to reproduce: Implement an App Extension using ASAuthorizationProviderExtensionAuthorizationRequest. Create a WKWebView instance in the extension. Attempt to load a SAML login request (POST request with headers). Observe immediate crash on iOS 26 (works fine on earlier versions). Expected behavior: WKWebView should load the request or fail gracefully as in prior releases, without crashing the extension process. Request: Please clarify if WKWebView usage inside extensions is officially unsupported as of iOS 26, and if so, recommend an alternative approach for handling SSO flows.

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.

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

I am currently operating an app using an embedded web server that communicates over local HTTP. Recently, when opening Safari, I started encountering the following error message: "Safari cannot open the page. Error: Failed to navigate to an HTTP URL with HTTPS-only mode enabled." However, I am currently in a situation where switching to HTTPS is difficult. Are there any solutions to resolve this issue besides using HTTPS? Thank you.🙏

Hello, I am developing Safari Content Blocker extension and discovered that it frequently fails to load with large amount of rules. Currently I have over 45k and most of the time when I reload the extension on iOS 18 (iPhone 12) it ends with error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.SafariServices.ContentBlockerLoader" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service named com.apple.SafariServices.ContentBlockerLoader} #0 And the simpler message is just: Couldn’t communicate with a helper application. From what I managed to find (for example here - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756931) the limit for blocking rules should be 150k items. It was previously 50k but got increased years ago. Is there anything special I need to do to get the extension to work reliably with say 100k items? I am usng the JSON format from the docs: { "trigger": { ... }, "action": { ... } }, { "trigger": { ... }, "action": { ... } } ] My trigger is url-filter and the action is type: block I was thinking about providing multiple JSON files in attachments property of NSExtensionItem but apparently that is not supported. Thanks for help!

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

I’m encountering an issue with a Safari extension bundled with our main application (F-Secure). The extension is not appearing consistently in Safari settings on a customer’s iPad running iOS 18.3. Below are the details of the issue: Issue Description The Safari extension is bundled with the main app (F-Secure). After installing the app, the extension should automatically appear in Settings > Safari > Extensions, where the user can enable it. On the customer’s iPad, the extension is missing from the Safari settings. It briefly appeared once but then disappeared again.

I have a basic setup following WWDC 2020 on Safari Web Extensions and another one on XPC. The video even mentions that one can use UserDefaults or XPC to communicate with the host app. Here is my setup. macOS 15.2, Xcode 16.2 A macOS app (all targets sandboxed, with an app group) with 3 targets: SwiftUI Hello World web extension XPC Service The web extension itself works and can update UserDefaults, which can then be read by SwiftUI app - everything works by the book. The app can communicate to the XPC service via NSXPCConnection - again, everything works fine. The problem is that the web extension does not communicate with XPC, and this is what I need so that I can avoid using UserDefaults for larger and more complex payloads. Web Ext handler code: class SafariWebExtensionHandler: NSObject, NSExtensionRequestHandling { func beginRequest(with context: NSExtensionContext) { // Unpack the message from Safari Web Extension. let item = context.inputItems[0] as? NSExtensionItem let message = item?.userInfo?[SFExtensionMessageKey] // Update the value in UserDefaults. let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "com.***.AppName.group") let messageDictionary = message as? [String: String] if messageDictionary?["message"] == "Word highlighted" { var currentValue = defaults?.integer(forKey: "WordHighlightedCount") ?? 0 currentValue += 1 defaults?.set(currentValue, forKey: "WordHighlightedCount") } let response = NSExtensionItem() response.userInfo = [ SFExtensionMessageKey: [ "Response to": message ] ] os_log(.default, "setting up XPC connection") let xpcConnection = NSXPCConnection(serviceName: "com.***.AppName.AppName-XPC-Service") xpcConnection.remoteObjectInterface = NSXPCInterface(with: AppName_XPC_ServiceProtocol.self) xpcConnection.resume() let service = xpcConnection.remoteObjectProxyWithErrorHandler { error in os_log(.default, "Received error: %{public}@", error as CVarArg) } as? AppName_XPC_ServiceProtocol service?.performCalculation(firstNumber: 23, secondNumber: 19) { result in NSLog("Result of calculation XPC is: \(result)") os_log(.default, "Result of calculation XPC is: \(result)") context.completeRequest(returningItems: [response], completionHandler: nil) } } } The error I'm getting: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.***.AppName.AppName-XPC-Service was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 3 - No such process." What am I missing?

Hi, I'm using a webview in Swift, where I load an html file locally. Basically I have an angular project built and loaded directly into my app bundle. The webview requires the use of the camera. I request permissions via and javascript, the pop-up appears, I accept the permissions and the app works correctly. Only that after a certain number of seconds, the permissions are requested again. It's as if the webview doesn't cache the accepted permissions. Is this normal behavior?

Hi! Is there any fix: Sounds are not recreated while using websites with, for example, virtual piano keyboard or metronome.

Can someone please help me: I do not have the brain space (85yo) to figure out an Apple Script or Java Script app to do this simple task. I have spent a few hours each day, over several days, and have made zero progress on such an apparently simple task. I wish to create an Automator App for the macOS Safari browser that will schedule (via a Calendar Event) the download of the 48hr data behind the hourly Fuel Mix Plot Data from the AEMO Web Site, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Here is the link to the AEMO web site: AEMO, Energy Systems, Electricity, National Electricity Market (NEM), Data (NEM),Data Dashboard https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem The 48 hour hourly Fuel Mix data is found by selecting the "Fuel Mix" button (which by default will display the NEM Current Trend). The 48 hour trend is displayed by tapping on the small "Current" pulldown menu, and selecting "48 hrs". The 48hr Data is down loaded by selecting the small circular button just to the right of the pulldown menu. a) AEMO Web Site: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem b) Main Menu, and underlying html, c) Fuel Mix menu, Pulldown list, DownLoad button, and underlying html, I am familiar with C++ and have built Xcode Apps, and used Excel Macros extensively in the past. Thank you. Robert.
