Hello,
I'm using Safari 18.2 on Sonoma 14.6.1.
I was using the Developer Tools to do a Local Request Override in the Source tab for a CSS file that had a changing query string. I thought I had a good regular expression to catch all variants, but apparently it was too generic and possibly wrong, and made both Source and Network tabs no longer work in my Safari.
The regular expression I entered for the Local Request Override was: //build/style.css(?.*)?$
Now my dev tools is broken to the extent that the Source and Network tabs no longer work. The slide-out panel on Source that shows Breakpoints, LocalOverrides, etc no longer shows. The toggle for it does, but does nothing now. UI in general looks a little wack on both tabs.
So, since I can't turn off the Local Request Override, I've been trying to locate where Safari may have stored it to manually delete it. Not having a lot of luck on that front.
It seems to me that Safari was unable to escape my regular expression correctly and it then causes additional issue. Just a guess though.
Any advice or help in getting Safari Source & Network working again / manual removal of the LocalOverride would be greatly appreciated. I'm fluent in OSX and Linux, but grep was not much help surfacing anything that worked.
Thanks in Advance, possibly a Safari bug as well.

Hi,
we have PWA for which we´ve built a wrapper using PWA Builder tool and we are experiencing an issue with apple sign in.
When we try to redirect the user to "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?...params...", a bottom sheet login prompt appears and only once the user signs in using the prompt he is then redirected to the url where he needs to sign in again and then we get the callback. We want to get rid of that bottom sheet prompt.
The code we´ve tried:
` iosButton.addEventListener('click', function () {
window.location.href = "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=xxxxx&redirect_uri=xxxxx&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=name%20email&response_mode=form_post";
});`
The alternative code we´ve tried for which it seems that nothing happens, we only see the "Started" alert, we´ve confirmed that there is no other error :
` <script src="https://appleid.cdn-apple.com/appleauth/static/jsapi/appleid/1/en_US/appleid.auth.js"></script>
<script>
(function initAppleSignIn() {
try {
window.AppleID.auth.init({
clientId: "{{ env('APPLE_WEB_CLIENT_ID') }}",
scope: "name email",
redirectURI: window.location.origin +"/auth/apple/callback",
usePopup: true
});
} catch (e) {
console.warn('Apple Sign-In init skipped:', e);
}
})();
function appleButtonClicked() {
alert("Started");
try {
const res = await window.AppleID.auth.signIn();
} catch (err) {
alert("Got error");
}
alert("Got here");
}
</script>
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.
I am a newby to JavaScript, suggested to me to use to automate the task of opening of a Web page, selecting three internal buttons in sequence to download the underlying chart data.
I have created the App via Automator on macOS, to run the Script, successfully open the Web Page, but cannot find a way to select and click() on the buttons.
Can someone please help me.
Robert.
This is the code suggested by Grok 3 Beta, but I see this error:
Error: First parameter passed to Document Constructor must be an object.
function run(input, parameters) {
var Safari = Application('Safari');
Safari.activate();
// Open the AEMO data dashboard (Grok 3 Beta recomendation opens the web page correctly)
Safari.Document().make();
Safari.windows[0].currentTab.url = 'https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem';
delay(10); // Wait for page to load
// Click the Fuel Mix tab (target the active in the tabs)
Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('.tabs .active').click()");
delay(5); // Wait for tab content to load
// Select 48 hrs from the dropdown Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('#interval').value = '48H'; document.querySelector('#interval').dispatchEvent(new Event('change'))");
delay(5); // Wait for selection to take effect
// Click the download button Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('.visualisation-icon-button').click()");
return input;
}
A DNR rule with lower priority is being applied before a DNR rule of higher priority on Safari. Specifically, a low-priority DNR block rule that matches a request is being applied before a high-priority DNR redirect rule that matches the same request, preventing the redirect from occurring. The only way to get the high-priority redirect rule to occur is to remove the DNR block rule. This does not occur on other browsers.
I have already submitted a Feedback Assistant report about this bug: FB16535579
How to reproduce:
Create/install a web extension on Safari with the declarativeNetRequest and declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess permissions
Open the Web Extension Background Content console and add a redirect rule with a high priority number. For example:
await chrome.declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules({addRules: [
{id: 5000, condition: {urlFilter: "||www.google-analytics.com*/ga.js", resourceTypes: ["script"], domainType: "thirdParty"}, priority: 80, action: {type: "redirect", redirect: {url: “http://www.apple.com/”}}}
]})
Add a block rule of lower priority for the same urlFilter:
await chrome.declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules({addRules: [
{id: 5001, condition: {urlFilter: "||www.google-analytics.com^", domainType: "thirdParty"}, priority: 1, action: {type: "block"}}
]})
Visit https://efforg.github.io/privacybadger-test-fixtures/html/ga_surrogate.html
Check the network tab and see that neither a request to Google Analytics nor apple.com appear. This means that the request to Google Analytics was blocked instead of being / before being redirected
Remove the block rule:
await chrome.declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules({removeRuleIds: [5001]})
Reload https://efforg.github.io/privacybadger-test-fixtures/html/ga_surrogate.html.
Check the network tab and confirm that there is a request to apple.com, showing that the redirect rule is only applied if the lower-priority block rule is removed. The priority of the DNR rules should handle this without having to remove a DNR rule.
I have confirmed that the incorrect application of DNR rule priority happens on other top level domains, with other urlFilters, and with other redirect URLs. I confirmed that this is happening while I’ve granted my extension permissions on all websites.
I have observed Safari App starts crashing when running with my safari extension.
Our Safari extension polls the host app every 60s. The extension receives and completes requests in
func beginRequest(with context: NSExtensionContext)
(we always call context.completeRequest(...)). The crash is intermittent: beginRequest itself does not throw.
Looking for guidance about likely causes. I am attaching the snippet from crash report.

Bug Report:
Safari refuses to render content that is position: fixed or position: sticky if it goes below the iOS 26 navigation controls at the bottom of the browser. Since the controls are transparent and floating, this is a problem as fixed content is effectively unable to reach the bottom of the page. Attempting to move it below 100vh causes it to be cut off rather than rendering behind the navigation elements.
Here is some code reproducing the issue:

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?

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
We are seeing an issue in Safari on iOS 26 where the a automatic unfocus of on select box dismisses the second one.
<select name="choice1" onblur="console.log('onblur1');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus1');">
<option value="first">First Value</option>
<option value="second" selected>Second Value</option>
<option value="third">Third Value</option>
</select>
<select name="choice2" onblur="console.log('onblur2');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus2')">
<option value="first">First Value</option>
<option value="second" selected>Second Value</option>
<option value="third">Third Value</option>
</select>
select something in choice1.
quickly tap choice2 before onblur1 is logged.
At the timing of onblur1 the selection menu for choice2 is dismissed.
Anyone know how to fix this behavior?
Hello,
In iOS 26 beta, we are seeing an unexpected behavior when using SwiftUI WebView (or a custom WKWebView via UIViewRepresentable).
When an alert is presented above the WebView, the WebView immediately reloads to its initial page. The alert itself also disappears instantly, making it impossible for the user to interact with it.
This issue occurs both with the new SwiftUI WebView / WebPage API and with a wrapped WKWebView. The problem was not present in previous iOS versions (iOS 17/18).
Steps to reproduce:
Create a SwiftUI view with a WebView (pointing to any URL).
Add a toolbar button that toggles a SwiftUI alert.
Run the app on iOS 26 beta.
Tap the button to trigger the alert.
Expected behavior:
The WebView should remain as-is, and the alert should stay visible until the user dismisses it.
Actual behavior:
As soon as the alert appears, the WebView reloads and resets to the initial page. The alert disappears immediately.
Minimal Example:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var showAlert = false
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
WebView(URL(string: "https://apple.com")!)
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) {
Button("Close") {
showAlert = true
}
}
}
.alert("Confirm close?", isPresented: $showAlert) {
Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {}
Button("Close", role: .destructive) {}
}
}
}
}
I'm using Xcode Version 26.0 beta 7
Thanks for your help.
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.
Our iOS app uses React Native Webview (based on top of WKWebView) to display content. This webview stays in memory throughtout the app's lifecycle. We are observing a high number of webview content process terminations - around 15% of our sessions. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wknavigationdelegate/webviewwebcontentprocessdidterminate(_:))
What could be the reasons for it? Is there a way to know for sure?
Is the 15% of sessions number something that other apps also experience, or should this be lower?
Thanks!

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!
//Is my post method correct because google and claude are telling me I must use content type for the json and use .setvalue. I thought that my process was correct because I encode the data to turn into json and then make the request

Anyone have any suggestions?
Hello all,
As you may know, the company ProofPoint is an Apple partner, and is engaged (I think) to reduce misuse of icloud emails.
We have two servers solely set up for our web-app, which is a specialised forum for apartment owners.
The new servers were established about the same time, with the same provider, with clean new IP addresses - and as mentioned above, are only used for this web-app.
During a testing phase a YEAR ago, we became aware that our in-house icloud emails weren't receiving notifications via the app, and further investigations revealed that the cause was that ProofPoint had placed a block on that server's IP.
We immediately, via their website form initiated a Support Ticket, which, the site indicated was lodged, BUT we have never received any response to that Ticket, nor have we received any response to four subsequent Tickets we initiated - nothing. In over a year!!
Yesterday, we contacted Apple support, but the devices area of support is the main section and they said it wasn't an issue they could assist with.
Some relevant matters:
SPF: DKIM: DMARC:
are, I believe all configured correctly (and Gmail gives a PASS to all of them).
The IP is not blacklisted by any list we are aware of.
Our other server's IP isn't blocked by ProofPoint.
So, literally at wits end, I'm reaching out to the developer subscribers here to see if they have any suggestions for us.
We currently are unable to accept any new subscriber that is using an icloud email address, and that's an absurd situation to be in.
Surely we don't have to go to the trouble and inconvenience of obtaining a new IP because of this!!! But when we can't get ANY response to the Support Tickets, it's really hard.
Thanks

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue when trying to open the browser on my Apple Watch SE 2 running the latest version, watchOS 11.6. When I attempt to visit any website, the browser opens and displays the URL at the top as if it is loading, but the screen remains black and no content is displayed.
The internet connection is available, and all other apps on the watch work normally. This issue occurs only with the browser.
I would appreciate any guidance or solution to resolve this problem.
Thank you for your assistance.
Hi all,
With version 18.4 beta, I have a problem with the display of webviews in the app. In particular, the app of my bank has webviews inside it, and as they are not loading, I am unable to access it. Can you help me? Thank you.
