Safari Extension Error: “Non-persistent background content cannot listen to webRequest events.” after macOS 15.4 / Safari 18.4 Update
We’re seeing the following error in the Safari Extensions tab after updating to macOS 15.4 and Safari 18.4:
“Non-persistent background content cannot listen to webRequest events.”
This error did not appear prior to the update, and we haven’t found any official documentation stating that webRequest API is no longer supported in Safari.
In our extension (Manifest V3), we are using the webRequest.onHeadersReceived callback to intercept response headers and read updated cookies.
While the functionality itself still works as expected. we’re able to access the response headers and this error is now shown in the Extension settings page.
We are not seeing this issue in other browsers (Chrome, Firefox) using the same Manifest V3 setup.
Is there any plan to deprecate webRequest support in Manifest V3 for Safari?
We’d appreciate any clarification or guidance on how to handle this going forward.

Hi,
I’m working with the SFExtensionProfileKey in my Safari Web Extension. As I understand it, this key is to get the UUID of the profile currently in use. However, it seems to be missing (no key in userInfo) when the default profile is active. Also, I haven’t found any API to get a profile’s human-readable name or list all available profiles.
Could someone clarify:
If the value of SFExtensionProfileKey is absent, can I safely assume the default profile is in use?
Is there a supported way to get a profile’s display name?
Does Safari expose an API for getting all profiles?
Thanks in advance for your insights!
I am testing stuff on a website, and it worked well on any mobile browser till iOS18.
Now that I am testing iOS26, even with the latest BETA (3)
everything works smoothly on any other mobile browser but Safari.
Previously I had the bug, which now has been patched, for status-bar, which was flickering too, but popover and page issue seems still there.
I have persistent popover and ajax navigation, and both are rendering with bugs and fouc while view/page changes.
Example: If I have an element which must stay on its place and its width is 100vw: while page changes it blinks, shrinks, flicker and jumps on rendering, while it simply must stay as is..
Animations and page transitions work smoothly on Chrome mobile (latest iOS 26 beta 3) , while breaking on Safari.
I did open a feedback FB18328720, but seems no one caring.
Any idea guys?

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!
Hi everyone,
My web application has two services: myapp.com and account.myapp.com.
The first manages all app content, while the latter handles the authentication, with Sign In with Apple included.
The tech stack is mainly composed of React, JS, and Express.
We'd like to allow users to authenticate inside a dialog on some pages of myapp.com.
To avoid replicating stuff from one service to another, we put an iframe inside the dialog to show the authentication standard page from account.myapp.com.
Email and Facebook processes work fine, but we have the following issues with Sign in with Apple:
On desktop, not Safari, a pop-up window opens when you click on the Apple button, and it works as expected.
On desktop Safari, the pop-up window is blocked. We want the native Apple pop-up to show instead of a generic browser new window.
On mobile, nothing happens on click
Obviously, outside the iframe, everything works as expected.
I can't seem to find anything related to an iframe constraint in the Sign in with Apple docs. Is this feasible?

Hi all,
I need to detect if my web application (pure HTML / Javascript) is opened from:
Safari from a Mac
Safari from an iPad but by asking for the desktop version
I tried to check for many properties (including the navigator.useragent) but no difference were visible. Anyone could help me?
Thank you

After upgrade to ios 26,
if WKWebView load url which did not contain "#" will always ok.
but load url contain “#” will cancel when start load, then result in white screen
Within installed PWAs, the navigator.language / navigator.languages property return a value, that is not according to the Safari settings and defers from the navigator.language / navigator.languages in the browser itself.
Example: Safari settings set to "German", returns "de-DE" in browser mode, but within the installed webApp it returns "en-GB".
I thought this might be due to the overall phone language settings, but this is not the case. Even is the phone is completely set to German, the navigator returns "en-GB" within an installed PWA.
My phone is also not English/British, there is no reason why "en-GB" should show up.

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.

Hello,
I was going through the Apple Pay API documentation and noticed ambiguity on the exact process to complete merchant validation.
One of the documentation mentions that the validation url will be
Your server posts a request using mutual TLS (mTLS) by calling the Apple Pay server’s Payment Session endpoint.
Endpoint (Global)
POST https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession
Endpoint (China region)
POST https://cn-apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession
Referencing the url: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/apple_pay_js_api/requesting_an_apple_pay_payment_session
whereas the other references that the value should be used as provided by the onvalidatemerchant event object with the property validationURL.
Refer: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/apple_pay_js_api/providing_merchant_validation
Can someone confirm which is the correct approach to follow ?
I’m a developer working on a Safari Web Extension that’s distributed via the App Store and also tested locally through Xcode. I’m running into an issue that’s affecting my ability to debug errors reported to my Sentry error logging instance from production.
The Problem
When an error is thrown in one of my extension scripts (e.g., background.js, popup.js, or content.js), the error is sent to Sentry but the captured JavaScript error stack trace replaces the file paths with the webkit-masked-url://hidden placeholder like this:
ReferenceError: Cannot access uninitialized variable.
at ? (webkit-masked-url://hidden/:14677:28)
at ? (webkit-masked-url://hidden/:16307:3)
This happens consistently across both App Store builds and local Xcode runs. It prevents me from seeing which script the error came from or resolving the actual source code lines using uploaded source maps in Sentry.
My Setup
Safari Version: 18.5 (Stable on macOS)
Distribution: App Store and local Xcode development
Extension Type: Safari Web Extension
Error Reporting: Sentry (@sentry/browser SDK)
Bundler: Webpack with inline-source-map
What I’ve Confirmed
I can see the actual source files in Safari’s Web Inspector under the Sources tab when the extension is running.
My source maps are uploaded to Sentry correctly and are associated with the matching release.
Errors from Safari are being captured by Sentry, but the file URLs are masked, so stack traces cannot be resolved against my original source.
My Question
Is this behavior (masking file URLs in stack traces with webkit-masked-url://hidden/) intentional for Safari Web Extensions?
If so, is there any supported method or workaround to allow exception stack traces to reveal the original script path (e.g., popup.js, background.js) so tools like Sentry or even console logs can point to real locations? I fully understand the privacy/security rationale behind the masking, but as the extension developer, this is making it extremely difficult to debug runtime issues in production.
I’d really appreciate any insight into:
Whether this masking is expected and permanent behavior
If there are any entitlements, debug settings, or Info.plist keys that can alter this behavior for development or for trusted/own extensions
If Apple recommends a different way to log extension errors that includes script name or source references
Thanks in advance for your help! I’m happy to share more technical details or try out suggestions.

Hi all,
I'm developing an application that uses WKWebView to display a web application which I augment with iOS native utilities such as Speech to Text and IAP. The application also uses Service workers, so we define AppBound Domains in the info.plist file.
Everything works for this, but when we deploy on a device the application will crash and say we need these entitlements
com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking,
com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering,
com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent,
com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit
From what I can see, we do need all of them. However Apple suggest submitting a request to be an Altnerative Browser (https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engines)
This is not appropriate for the application in my view since one requirement of being an alternative browser is that you don't modify the resources on the web site - we of course do since we inject javascript in order to bridge between iOS and the contents of the webview.
How are people navigating this issue? I assumed it would be common given the use of Tauri etc. to build similar types of applications, but I don't see much about it.
Thank you!
I have a simple Safari extension for iOS.
In its popup, I want a button that will open the app via a universal link.
I have this kind-of working, except that Safari opens the actual online destination of the link with a banner at the top saying "Open in the XXXX app" and an OPEN button.
What do I have to do to go directly to the app?
More generally, I know that if I copy-and-paste a universal link into the Safari address bar, Safari does the same thing - but it does go directly to the app from an <a href="...."> link.
In my app extension JavaScript, I set window.location. Presumably this is too similar to pasting into the address bar.
Is there some alternative to setting window.location that is more like clicking on a link and will go directly to the universal link's app?
Thanks.
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.
Hey everyone,
After installing iOS 26 beta, I started noticing unexpected behavior in our input event handlers.
Specifically, when users type into an field, event.target.value is always an empty string — but only when the JS file is loaded from a specific domain (e.g., t1.daumcdn.net). The exact same code works perfectly when hosted on other domains like t2.daumcdn.net or search1.daumcdn.net.
👉 I created a demo here:
🔗 CodePen Demo
The scripts loaded from each domain are 100% identical (apart from the top-level selector). Before iOS 26 beta, this worked fine.
I suspect this is related to ITP or some new cross-origin behavior in Safari, but I’d love to know if anyone else is running into this — or if someone knows a workaround.
Thanks!
I recently noticed that putting the app on background for some time, then switching back to it again causes the WKWebView to reload the current page, same with just hitting f5 on it. How do we disable this behavior?
