Our app connects to the headend to get a IDP login URL for each connection session, for example: “https://myvpn.ocwa.com/+CSCOE+/saml/sp/login?ctx=3627097090&acsamlcap=v2” and then open embedded webview to load the page. (Note: the value of ctx is session token which changes every time). Quite often the webview shows blank white screen. After user cancel the connection and re-connect, the 2nd time webview loads the content successfully.
The working case logs shows:
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
decidePolicyForNavigationAction is called twice
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
decidePolicyForNavigationResponse is called
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
But the failure case shows:
Filed to terminate process: Error Domain=com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x11461c240 {Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process found" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=No such process found}}}
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
decidePolicyForNavigationAction is called

If we stop calling evaluateJavaScript code to get userAgent, the blank page happens less frequently. Below is the code we put in makeUIView():
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView
{
if let url = URL(string: self.myUrl)
{
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
webview.evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent")
{
result, error in
if let error = error
{
NSLog("evaluateJavaScript Error: \(error)")
}
else
{
let agent = result as! String + " " + self.myUserAgent
webview.customUserAgent = agent
webview.load(request)
}
}
}
return self.webview
}
Found some posts saying call evaluateJavaScript only after WKWebView has finished loading its content. However, it will block us to send the userAgent info via HTTP request. And I don’t think it is the root cause since the problem still occurs with less frequency.
There is no problem to load same web page on Windows desktop and Android devices. The problem only occurs on iOS and macOS which both use WKWebview APIs.
Is there a bug in WKWebview?
Thanks,
Ying

When I open com. apple. developer. web browser, I am unable to inject JavaScript into the webview through methods such as addUserScript. The console will prompt 'ignoring user script injection for non app bound domain'
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. (115740959) (FB13188943)
input type="file"でアップロードした画像データからGPS情報が除去されます。
こちらはiPadOS16.5.1で発生しておりました。
iPadOS17.4.1、iPadOS18.3では正常にGPS情報が保持されます。
iOS、iPadOSのアップデートでGPS情報を保持するよう修正されたと見受けられますが、リリースノートを参照しても上記修正についての記事を見つけられませんでした。
お手数ですが、上記修正に該当する記事をご教示頂けませんでしょうか。

Hello there,
For a video like this <video src="blob:safari-web-extension://***" autoplay="" loop="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover; z-index: -1;"></video>, no matter if its local or remote, blob or mp4 files, is constantly being reloaded (refetched? revalidated?) if the loop tag is added. I can confirm there is actual constant traffic from the server based on my server logs. I am running iOS/macOS 26.
Hey team, I've integrated custom WkWebsiteDatastore to manage profiling for different sessions.
upon testing the WkWebsiteDataStore as its mentioned to be persistent But
The storage can be accessed via identifier, But the session data in storage is absent, such as cookies caches all are cleared when app is relaunched
is it the default behavior to be expected or there is some property missing causing the session data to be removed from storage.
I'm running apache with following configuration.
/cc require TLS client certificate
/ not require TLS client certificate
Starting with ios 18.4, accessing /cc after / fails with following error:
AH02261: Re-negotiation handshake failed, referer: https://www.example.com/...
SSL Library Error: error:1417C0C7:SSL routines:tls_process_client_certificate:peer did not return a certificate -- No CAs known to server for verification?
It seems like ios 18.4 does not support TLS re-negotiation.
(It worked with ios 18.3 and before)
Is this an expected behavior or a bug?

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.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the Bing search page in Safari (example URL: https://www.bing.com/search?q=webkit&form=APIPH1&PC=APPL).
Pinch-zoom in or out, then return the page to exactly 100% zoom.
Rotate the device from portrait to landscape orientation.
Observe that the page is incorrectly scaled to a value other than 100%.
Rotate the device back to portrait orientation.
The page remains at the incorrect zoom level.
Expected Result:
After returning the page to 100% zoom, changing orientation should keep the zoom level at exactly 100% in both portrait and landscape modes.
Actual Result:
After returning to 100% zoom, rotating to landscape changes the zoom to a non-100% value, and rotating back to portrait retains the incorrect zoom level.
WebRTC and Web Audio are essential for modern web applications, powering everything from real-time voice communication to accessibility tools. However, in iOS Safari, these technologies are suspended as soon as the screen locks or Safari goes into the background. This makes web-based calling, live audio spaces, broadcast sessions and assistive applications unreliable for iOS users.
Why This Matters:
It’s impractical and inefficient. Asking users to keep their screen on to continue a WebRTC call wastes more battery, as the display is one of the most power-intensive components of a device. Allowing WebRTC audio to run in the background would be more battery-efficient than forcing the screen to stay lit for extended periods.
Competing platforms allow WebRTC to run in the background. Safari’s restriction puts web-based applications at a disadvantage compared to native apps.
Many industries depend on persistent WebRTC audio, including telehealth, live broadcasting, and accessibility tools.
This restriction forces developers to build native iOS apps instead of using the open web, limiting web innovation and increasing development costs.
Proposed Solution:
Apple could implement an explicit user permission for background WebRTC, similar to how background audio playback is already handled for media apps. This would balance user security with the need for uninterrupted real-time communication—without forcing users to keep their screens on unnecessarily.
I would love to hear if anyone has found workarounds or if Apple has commented on potential improvements in future iOS versions.

Hello.
We are adding a Safari extension to our app and we have some questions
about communication between the app and its extension.
We have added the nativeMessaging permission to the extension so that it can communicate with the app and communication between both are doing very well.
Our question is about the security of communications between the two.
How can we be sure the native app communicates well with the correct extension?
Can the Safari extension communicate with another native app or can the native app receive messages from another extension?
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

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:
🔗 https://codepen.io/bzasklcu-the-sans/pen/rNXogxL
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!
Hello!
I have a few questions about integrating an OAuth2 API into my Swift application. I am using this API to access user data from the website (users will authenticate themselves within the app). I have seen other apps use this API in the way that I am describing it so I know that it is possible. However, I am not sure how to implement it.
Are there any recommended ways to use an OAuth2 API in my application?
The API that I am using does not specifically say that it supports PKCE. However, I have heard from some sources that it does. If it does not support PKCE, how do I still create a secure app infrastructure that will pass App Store Review?
At a more basic level, what is the difference between OAuth2 and PKCE? What should I use in my app? Are there any resources to learn a little bit more about these protocols so that I understand them better?
Thanks!
We are using WebKit in our app and recently started noticing a crash occurring on iOS 17 and earlier versions. The crash log shows the following error:

After investigating, we found that this crash was addressed in this https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/24778 WebKit PR. However, our app is still crashing for users on older iOS versions where this fix is not available.
Is there a known workaround to prevent this crash on affected iOS versions? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
iOS18的app中加载了自己开发的H5页面,H5页面有个input输入框,每次输入框聚焦的时候,都会弹出键盘滑行键入的提示:“滑动手指将字母拼成词以快速键入”,应该怎么修改,达到不每次都弹出这个提示呢
I am currently developing a Chrome, Firefox and Safari web extension, and I am facing a CSP issue on the content script on Safari.
The extension I develop has a content script that injects an img tag in the DOM of web pages the user is visiting. That img tag fetches its content at a specific URL.
On Chrome and on Firefox, the img tag content fetches the content at the URL with no issue on every web pages, including those that set the CSP header img-src.
On Safari, I'm getting the following error on web sites that set the img-src CSP header:
Refused to load https://axxlfrmnpq.cloudimg.io/www.macifavantages.fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Garmin-logo.png?func=bound&w=225&h=113 because it does not appear in the img-src directive of the Content Security Policy.
Here is the actual CSP img-src header content of the web page where, on Safari, the injected img tag does not load the content at https://axxlfrmnpq.cloudimg.io/www.macifavantages.fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Garmin-logo.png?func=bound&w=225&h=113:
Content-Security-Policy: img-src https://secure.adnxs.com https://www.facebook.com https://.garmin.cn 'self' data: .garmin.com .trustarc.com .truste.com https://static.garmincdn.com https://www.google.com https://www.google.co.uk https://prefmgr-cookie.truste-svc.net https://res.cloudinary.com https://res.garmin.com https://.criteo.com https://.doubleclick.net https://www.googleadservices.com https://px.adentifi.com https://rtb.adentifi.com https://.teads.tv https://www.googletagmanager.com https://bat.bing.com https://.yahoo.com https://sync.outbrain.com https://*.google-analytics.com https://stats.g.doubleclick.net https://static.hotjar.com https://script.hotjar.com .akamaihd.net https://.tealiumiq.com https://deploytealium.com https://pixel.mediaiqdigital.com;
My question is, is the page CSP blocking the img tag injected in the web page by the extension's content script?
If so, is this behavior documented somewhere, or is it a Safari bug?
I saw there is a similar post on the forum, but I couldn't find if the issue is a bug or if it's the expected behavior on Safari: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/651542?login=true.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hello,
I followed the instructions to set up a custom logo for our domain name Allogarage.fr, both for the brand and the domain. Everything appears to be correctly configured in Apple Business backend for several weeks now, but the logo still doesn’t show up in Mail.
Is the branded email feature available in France? Are there any additional steps required?
Hello
I built a WordPress website with a three.js/react front page. On iOS chrome, Android chrome, and desktop chrome all is working well. However, on Safari mobile when the animation loads a downward swipe causes the page to refresh rather than scroll as is intended and working correctly on all the other browsers. Strangely, scroll up works initially and then downward scroll begins to work. I have tried various iterations of overscroll behavior but still cannot aolbe the issue. Any help would be appreciated.
