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?

On iPhone 16 running iOS 18.0(Xcode 16.2), cookies configured with SameSite=None; Secure fail to apply correctly—iOS forcibly converts the attribute to SameSite=Lax. As a result, cross-site requests from H5 pages within our app cannot carry the required cookies, causing failures. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

As of iOS 26.1, Safari and WebKit views have an issue when rendering the <details> html tag. The disclosure-closed icon / character appears as an emoji arrow ▶️ instead of the unicode character ▸ (U+25B8 - Black Right-Pointing Small Triangle) For example: <details> <summary>Summary</summary> <p>Additional details....</p> </details> This wasn't the case in iOS 26.0 / iOS 18. From what I can observe it seems ▶ (U+25B6 - Black Right-Pointing Triangle) may be used in iOS 26.1 which renders as the emoji ▶️ on iOS (at least as far back as iOS 18). The only workaround I found for the moment is to specify explicit CSS to revert back to using the ▸ (U+25B8 - Black Right-Pointing Small Triangle) details > summary { list-style-type: "▸ "; } details[open] > summary { list-style-type: "▾ "; } Is this expected? I've filed a feedback for this FB20997955. Thanks!

Safari is acting up. It’s appearing on my screen as a blank black screen, and then it’s retreating to the homepage.

Currently I am struggling to find a way to read the status of Safari Web Extension from settings as I can not find any public api listed for iOS as it is already available for macOS.

Sometimes Safari is rendering the icon for an active extension in its original provided colored representation, other times Safari is applying an overlay color in line with the system's highlight color. This difference can even be seen seen on the Safari Extensions Developer home page: https://developer.apple.com/safari/extensions/images/extensions-hero-large_2x.png You will notice that Grammarly's icon is shown in it's original color format, while the others aren't. Example of extensions where the icon is shown in color: Bitwarden Grammarly 1Password Consent-O-Matic I've compared the source code of Bitwarden and Consent-o-Matic with my own extension and cannot find any differences in the settings or image properties (resolution, DPI, file type, color profile). If I take the exact PNG source files from said open source extensions and replace them in my own source code, these icons show up in full color. Does this perhaps mean there is a bug in Safari's processing of the icons where it fails to overlay the icon with the highlight color in some cases? I and I assume many developers with me would like to understand what determines this difference. Ideally, there is a consistent UX where the end user has the choice between icons in color or highlight color overlay.

After App uses Network.framework PrivacyContext Api, dns has been encrypted, that is good. But when using wkwebview to load web page, wireshark captures normal dns request sent by wkwebview. Does wkwebview use DoH to resolve domain? if can, how to config params? If can not, is there anyway to stop wkwebview sending normal dns, such as local proxy.

Hello, Recently, there is an issue in my service that after typing korean at input element, first click event is not working. But i knew that other services are also having same problem. It happens only on Safari. Could you guys check this issue? Thank you.

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.

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

Hi all, Managing Safari usage in an enterprise environment and I’m looking for ways to disable or restrict the QUIC protocol to enforce network-level security policies (e.g., content filtering). Does Safari offer any settings to disable QUIC, or is there a known workaround to prevent Safari from using it? Appreciate any insights or guidance.

I'm looking for answer or documentation on gatekeeper and launching a MacOS app via a url scheme/custom protocol. Our application is delivered via a zip file downloaded from the web. We utilize a url scheme. The act of extracting the app from the zip registers the url scheme with the OS. From previous research/testing we found we had to break the gatekeeper lock (have the user move the app from the downloaded location) to ensure that the url is honored on first launch of the application. To ensure user compliance, we added a check to make sure that the lock has been removed by looking at the quarantine attribute. This flow is not ideal. I am looking for alternatives and was previously under the impression that if we were to move to a DMG then that would provide the user a better user experience for moving it. However, now that I am getting around to looking into it, I am seeing some implied statements that this is not the case and that the quarantine bit will just be moved from the DMG to the app. Questions: Does a DMG allow the app to be launched via custom protocol without prior launch or movement? With a notarized app, will the custom protocol work on a subsequent launch, even without prior movement?

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.

TLDR: I’m searching for a possibility to allow the usage of passkeys and hardware keys for any website in a wkwebview INFO: The browser is macOS ONLY Hi, I couldn’t really find documentation or forums posts on how to implement Webauthn for signin or hardware security keys for a second factor. Or rather where those events are triggered to be handled. In Safari you have that popover, that lets you either authenticate through Passwords or with a security key. When I visit webauthn.io for testing and click either register or authenticate I get Told not to present authorization sheet: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServicesCore.AuthorizationError Code=1 "(null)" ASAuthorizationController credential request failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1004 "(null)" If I add func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didReceive challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge, completionHandler: @escaping @MainActor (URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition, URLCredential?) -> Void) and func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, authenticationChallenge challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge, shouldAllowDeprecatedTLS decisionHandler: @escaping @MainActor (Bool) -> Void) it doesn’t seem to change anything. I found something about the ASWebAuthenticationSessionWebBrowserSupported entitlement, but by my understanding this is used so a browser can get opened upon some other app calling a ASWebAuthenticationSession. Has anyone some guidance for me? I feel like webauthn and yubikey support are important security measures for our users. https://codeberg.org/miakoring/Amethyst/src/branch/main/Amethyst/Shared/ViewComponents/WebKit/WebViewModel.swift is the code for my webviewmodel.

Is the new Observations API for WebPage not available in Beta 1 as demoed in the WWDC video? I get this error even though Observation is imported.

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue where WKWebView consistently fails to load a specific URL on the iOS 18.4 simulator (Xcode 16.3). The error is as follows: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 "The network connection was lost." UserInfo={ _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-4, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4, NSUnderlyingError=Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1005, NSErrorFailingURLKey=[REDACTED] } Key Observations: This URL fails consistently only on the iOS 18.4 simulator. The same URL loads without issue in iOS 18.3 and 18.2 simulators. The backend is serving a valid HTTPS certificate chain, and the server appears to be presenting it properly. The same application appears to work on a real iPhone running 18.4. Certificate Chain for the Failing URL Leaf: WR3 (Valid: Mar 17, 2025 – Jun 15, 2025) Intermediate 1: GTS Root R1 (Valid: Dec 13, 2023 – Feb 20, 2029) Intermediate 2: GlobalSign Root CA (Valid: Jun 19, 2020 – Jan 28, 2028) Other URLs Work Fine in iOS 18.4 Simulator WKWebView successfully loads the following URLs with similar or more complex certificate chains: https://google.com → WR2, GTS Root R1, GlobalSign Root CA https://amazon.com → DigiCert Global CA G2, DigiCert Global Root G2, VeriSign G5 https://stackoverflow.com → E5, ISRG Root X1 https://shopify.com → GlobalSign Root CA, GTS Root R4, WE1 This suggests the issue may not be with general network or certificate trust but instead something specific about how iOS 18.4 handles this domain or certificate configuration in the simulator. Any insights on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
