Smart App Banner works on private distributed app
Smart App Banner is integrated on the backend where Apple ID is used. The banner is displayed on the website when the app is publicly distributed via Appstoreconnect and available in the App Store. The Privately distributed app has Apple ID and registered in the App Store and is distributed via client's Apple Business Management account. Does Smart App Banner work if the app is privately distributed?

Cannot find duplicate root CA for development Safari claims to have
I use three Macs for development of a web application. On each of the Macs (macOS 14.4) I used mkcert to install a local CA and to issue developer certificates (all separately). Accessing the web app with https://localhost:8080 works fine on two Macs with all browsers, but on one Mac Safari claims to have another root CA for localhost which it does not trust. And I cannot override the trust settings. Using Keychain Access I do not find this certificate. Safari shows it like this: Scrolling down I can see DNS Names localhost, localhost.localdomain and lvl.me, so I suspect it is a leftover from trying to install a root CA before using mkcert. The mkcert certificate looks like this and I can see it in the System keychain: So Safari complains and I cannot tell it to trust the server certificate as the CA does not fit (I think). Firefox and Chrome open the website just fine after warning me and me telling them to do so. I tried to find the wrong CA using Keychain Access and Terminal (security find-certificate -a -c localhost, security find-certificate -a -c lvh...) but in vain. Where can I find this certificate and how can I delete it?

Images not rendering on some iPhones
Hi all, I deployed a static site and two of my imgs are not appearing on some iPhones. It's not showing up on my iPhone 15 Pro but it's appearing on an iPhoneSE and androids. When I long click them, they actually show up in preview and can even open the images in a different tab, so they're just transparent. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Inquiry Regarding WebM Video Format Support in Safari
Dear Apple Community, I am writing to seek assistance with a challenge I've encountered regarding the playback of WebM video format in Safari. Despite various attempts and troubleshooting, I've been unable to successfully play WebM videos in Safari using the HTML5 video tag with provided Blob URLs. The videos, which are recorded in WebM format using browsers such as Chrome, fail to play in Safari, causing inconvenience for users who rely on this browser for their browsing needs. I understand that Safari may have certain limitations and compatibility issues with certain multimedia formats, but as WebM gains popularity as a widely used format for web-based videos, its support in Safari would greatly enhance the browsing experience for many users. I'm reaching out to inquire if there are any known solutions, workarounds, or plans to address this issue. Specifically, I've attempted to utilize the HTML5 video tag with Blob URLs to play WebM videos in Safari, but to no avail. If there are alternative methods or techniques that I may have overlooked, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance in enabling playback of WebM videos in Safari. Ensuring cross-browser compatibility and seamless playback of multimedia content is crucial for providing a consistent and enjoyable user experience across different platforms and environments. Any insights or recommendations from the Apple community would be immensely helpful in resolving this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Umair Khan

Azure B2C cookies missing on Safari 17.x
Our app uses Azure B2C for SSO login, and we are noticing a bug on Safari 17.x (any browser on iOS 17.x, and Safari 17 on Mac OS) where the Azure B2C cookies go missing during the registration process, which leads to a broken user experience. The following cookies are the ones that go missing The only forum posts related to this issue I have come across are these: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure/azure-app-on-ios-17-not-working/m-p/3958809 Which links to this https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/intune-customer-success/day-zero-support-for-ios-ipados-17-and-macos-14/ba-p/3930010 Is this in bug that will be fixed in an upcoming release on Safari 17.x?

WebRTC App doesn't work while an iPhone or MacBook is connected.
Good evening, I am having problems with my WebRTC application when an iPhone or Macbook is connected. This only happens when an iPhone or Macbook is connected, as tests with Windows or Android devices have shown no issues. As can be seen in the screenshot below, it appears that the datachannel is not initialised correctly. In fact, the webcam and microphone do not work even if permissions are given by the user, and messages and the remote webcam are not sent/shown. If I open chrome console on Windows, this is the error I get in the console Could you please help me investigate this problem. If you want, you can have full access to my application at https://www.fourmeet.it. I attach the functions that seem to be responsible for the problems: const configuration = { iceServers: [...turnServers, { urls: 'stun:stun.1und1.de:3478'}], iceTransportPolicy: 'relay' }; peerConection = new RTCPeerConnection(configuration); dataChannel = peerConection.createDataChannel("chat"); peerConection.ondatachannel = (event) => { const dataChannel = event.channel; dataChannel.onopen = () => { console.log("peer connection is ready to receive data channel messages"); }; dataChannel.onmessage = (event) => { console.log("message came from data channel"); const message = JSON.parse(event.data); ui.appendMessage(message); }; }; peerConection.onicecandidate = (event) => { console.log("geeting ice candidates from stun server"); if (event.candidate) { // send our ice candidates to other peer wss.sendDataUsingWebRTCSignaling({ connectedUserSocketId: connectedUserDetails.socketId, type: constants.webRTCSignaling.ICE_CANDIDATE, candidate: event.candidate, }); } }; peerConection.onconnectionstatechange = (event) => { if (peerConection.connectionState === "connected") { console.log("succesfully connected with other peer"); } }; const stringifiedMessage = JSON.stringify(message); if (dataChannel && dataChannel.readyState === 'open') { dataChannel.send(stringifiedMessage); } else { console.log('canale non aperto'); } };

How to Achieve Safari-like Scaling in WKWebView
I am currently developing an iOS app that needs to embed a third-party website. On this website, the best view is achieved in the standard Safari app by pressing the 'Aa' button on the left side of the address bar and setting the zoom to 50%. I want to replicate this 50% scaling in WKWebView, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it. I've tried using webView.pageZoom = 0.5 and setting webView.scrollView.minimumZoomScale = 0.5 webView.scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 0.5 but it doesn't display the same way as it does in Safari. How can I achieve the same scaling effect in WKWebView?

iOS 17.4.1 Safari extension issues
Since updating to iOS v17.4.1 our safari extension no longer functions as it used to We are experiencing issues where our content script is not getting initialized, On devices running iOS 17.4.1, the content script included in our extension does not appear to run. There are no logs from the content script in the console, whereas on other versions and devices, it operates as expected. Our Extension relies con communication between the background and content scripts in order for us to render various popups to our users, based on our logs as of iOS 17.4.1 this communication is not successful, we can see messages being sent from the background script but as mentioned above nothing on the content script side. This behavior happens majority of the time and on random sites, sometimes opening the same site in a new tab would work but not always. There are also times where we would only receive our popups after opening the safari menu and interacting with our extension via this menu. Please assist with a way forward

Translucent Toolbar Background Issue in iOS Safari Private Browsing Mode After Enabling Dark Mode and Single Tab Navigation from Safari Settings
hi. I've come across a UI-related bug. It's not a critical issue, but I'm curious whether it's actually a bug or an intended result. Enable "Dark Mode" on your device. Set Safari to "single tab" mode in the settings. Open the iOS browser. Switch to "Private Browsing" mode. When swiping up, the background of the top toolbar (including the status bar) becomes translucent, revealing the content behind it. When I turn on the 'Reduce Transparency' setting, the issue does not occur, and the background content remains hidden as expected. iPhone12 mini / iOS 17.0.1 thx!

IndexedDB in WebView, get deleted?
Hi. I plan to use a WebView in an iOS app (SWIFT) and this should run a web app with WASM and using IndexedDB for permanent credentials. I found rumors and information on Apple deleting data in IndexedDB and localStorage after 7 days (see links below). But I found no official information that tells me if this is true for my WebView in my ordinary mobile App (not PWA). A test cycle over a week to find out is hard to do... Is there any reliable and clear information on this and am I affected? Thank you! .

Cookie sharing between ASWebAuthenticationSession and Safari (ios)
I'm currently trying to add an OIDC connection to an iOS application. I'm using AppAuth, which will use ASWebAuthenticationSession (because we're targeting recent versions of iOS). We have a login web page that will write a cookie. We'd like this cookie to be shared between the application (using ASWebAuthenticationSession) and the system browser (Safari) so that the user can be recognized and avoid having to log in again. The web page writes a permanent cookie (with an expiry date) and the iOS application uses ASWebAuthenticationSession. And I did not set prefersEphemeralSession to true. So we should be OK with the documentation (SFSafariViewController no longer shares cookies, and session cookies are not shared between ASWebAuthenticationSession and Safari). It should work, if I understand the documentation correctly. Did I miss a point? Or is it a known problem? I also tried to create a simple web page that read and write a cookie to do dome tests. function writeCookie() { var value = "something"; var maxAge = "max-age=" + (365 * 24 * 60 * 60); var expiration = new Date(); expiration.setTime(expiration.getTime() + (365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); var expires = "expires=" + expiration.toUTCString(); var sameSite = "SameSite=None"; var secure = ";Secure"; document.cookie = cookieName + "=" + value + ";" + maxAge + ";path=/;" + sameSite + secure; } function readCookie() { var cookies = document.cookie.split(';'); var value = ""; for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) { var cookie = cookies[i].trim(); if (cookie.indexOf(cookieName) == 0) { value = cookie.substring(cookieName.length + 1, cookie.length); break; } } if (value !== "") { alert("Cookie value : " + value); } } And iOS code: currentAuthorizationFlow = OIDAuthState.authState(byPresenting: request, presenting: viewController) { authState, error in if let authState = authState { print("Authorization succeed") self.authState = authState if let accessToken = authState.lastTokenResponse?.accessToken, let idToken = authState.lastTokenResponse?.idToken { completion(.success(TokenResponse(accessToken: accessToken, idToken: idToken))) return } } self.authState = nil completion(.failure(error)) }

When I try to print through the application, a message "This action will take you outside the app
Hello, I have noticed an issue when using my web application via TestFlight on iOS devices. When I try to print through the application, a message "This action will take you outside the app, press OK to continue" appears. This message prevents the user from printing documents from the application. Steps to reproduce the issue: Open my web application via TestFlight on an iOS device. Press the print button in the application. Expected behavior: It is expected that the user can print documents from the web application via TestFlight without any obstacles. Actual behavior: When pressing the print button, a message "This action will take you outside the app, press OK to continue" appears, preventing printing.

HTML Geolocation API does not work properly on some iOS devices
I created a PWA that requires access to users' geolocation to perform a certain action in the system. The correct operation would be the user opens the application, and then the operating system prompts them to allow sharing their exact location with the PWA. However, this is not happening with a few users who have iPhone 11 or XR. I tested it on iPhones 14, 13, 11 Pro, and even iPhone 6, and it works as expected. I directly spoke with a user who was experiencing the problem and conducted some tests. I checked if location access was allowed in the settings. I verified if Safari was accepting with the option to always ask selected. In the settings of my system's website, I checked if location access was allowed with the option to always ask chosen. We changed all prompting options to allow. We opened the following site https://whatpwacando.today/ and found that geolocation was also not possible. Everything indicates that the issue lies with these users' phones; however, other geolocation methods work fine, as other geolocation apps function properly. This leads me to think that it might be a problem with Safari not working properly with the HTML Geolocation API. I'm not sure if there are any more advanced settings that could help or if anyone else has encountered this issue.
