Declarative Web Push
Anybody succeeded sending a Web Push Message using the new Declarative approach introduced with Safari Version 18.4 (20621.1.14.11.3)? I will help as well if someone can point me to a solution debugging the entire system using Xcode and Minibrowser? Currently I can't get the MiniBrowser connected to the WebPush Daemon.

HTML problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version
We confirmed a problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version. For confirmation, we made a HTML document (see below HTML1) what include ‘method="POST" target="_blank"’ and tested the form however server received GET method and there is no parameter, server did not receive “id” parameter. We confirmed that fact in captured packet and log file that on the server. HTML1: We also made another HTML document (see below HTML2) what include submit button, but the server received GET method as above. HTML2: And we also confirmed that it behaves differently depending on the network environment. If the form targets a name that does not exist (ex. target=” A12345”), behaves differently http or https. http: Safari opened new tag, but the server received GET method. Normally, Safari open new tag and the server receive POST method. https: Safari opened new tag, and the server received POST method. It is normally. If the form targets ‘_blank’, the server received GET method on http or https both. We think Safari change the method POST to GET and delete parameters. It is not conformed to the HTML specification if is that true. We confirmed it was not happened at Safari on iPadOS 17.4, and Windows PC (Edge, Chrome). The method what the server received is POST. We find same problem in Apple Support Community (see below URL). https://discussionsjapan.apple.com/thread/255987615 (Described in Japanese) Is it a bug in Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version? Do you have plan to fix? Or if fixed the bug, when do you release fixed version.

Help with Device Orientation Permission on iPhone (iOS 18) in Safari
Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with accessing device orientation and motion events in Safari on my iPhone (iOS 18). Despite trying several guides and solutions, I cannot find the option to allow access to motion and orientation for websites in the browser settings. I’ve checked privacy settings, and the device is up to date. Can anyone guide me on how to enable this feature in Safari or share any workarounds? Thanks in advance!

How to confidently select one type of camera on iOS
We have a web application that uses high resolution images to validate the authenticity of products. For this purpose we want to use the best camera to make the high resolution camera, on iPhone Pro devices this camera is the ultra-wide angle camera. The issue we have is how to confidently select that camera from the list returned by navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices. We can't use the device ID as it change every time (and for every user), we could use the camera name but the string is translate to the device language which is very problematic. We could also just select a specific item in the list but we are not sure that the order is preserved and it makes it hard to deal with other iPhone models that don't have that ultra wide angle camera. Selecting a specific camera looks like an essential feature not only for us. What is the best option, we are looking for something that is future proof and easily scalable.

Clicking on Quit and Open Safari Extensions Preferences... does nothing
I am trying to build and run a Safari Web Extension from Xcode and I have enabled "Allow unsigned extensions" in Safari settings. However, I see the below pop up: And, if click on the "Quit and Open Safari Extensions Preferences..." button, the project stops running on Xcode and nothing happens. What can be the issue? The extension works and runs fine if I get it from the Mac App Store and this only happens when running from Xcode. I even tried completely uninstalling the mac app store version and still facing the same issue.

Apple Pay Third party browsers - completeMerchantValidation fails
I've a apple pay integration on my website. The new sdk, that allows third party browsers. My integration works well everywhere, except on third party when I read the QR code it results in a "payment incomplete". I have gone through several threads in apple dev forums, and several guides on implementation steps and troubleshooting. But I'm still without solution. When Debugging in iOS device I get: "Application failed to provide a valid merchant session. We can't proceed to authorize the transaction." I've doublechecked, the values I send to create the payment Session are correct, the domain and merchantIds. (It works well with the same implementation on safari, what's the difference here?) I've also doublechecked the values i'm sending to the completeMerchantValidation, and they are all in the right format and types. What else can iIcheck?

WebKit crash on iOS 18.3
After the official release of iOS 18.3, our app has collected numerous identical crash logs. These crashes occurred on different devices, but the common denominator is that they all, and only, happened on iOS 18.3. Based on the stack trace, the crash is happening internally within WebKit. The details are as follows: Crashed: com.apple.main-thread 0 WebCore 0x721f9c + 28 1 WebCore 0x15b6924 + 11356 2 WebCore 0x15b174c + 1008 3 WebCore 0x1776e4 + 292 4 WebCore 0x17753c WebCore::SerializedScriptValue::deserialize(OpaqueJSContext const*, OpaqueJSValue const**) + 100 5 WebKit 0x530b28 + 92 6 WebKit 0x5a0d2c + 176 7 WebKit 0x9e74b0 + 956 8 WebKit 0xe43d58 + 392 9 WebKit 0x886ac + 272 10 WebKit 0x88940 + 44 11 WebKit 0x87a74 + 252 12 WebKit 0x875ec + 576 13 JavaScriptCore 0x2f8a48 ***::RunLoop::performWork() + 204 14 JavaScriptCore 0x2f895c ***::RunLoop::performWork(void*) + 36 15 CoreFoundation 0x73f4c CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION + 28 16 CoreFoundation 0x73ee0 __CFRunLoopDoSource0 + 176 17 CoreFoundation 0x76b40 __CFRunLoopDoSources0 + 244 18 CoreFoundation 0x75d3c __CFRunLoopRun + 840 19 CoreFoundation 0xc8284 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 588 20 GraphicsServices 0x14c0 GSEventRunModal + 164 21 UIKitCore 0x3ee674 -[UIApplication _run] + 816 22 UIKitCore 0x14e88 UIApplicationMain + 340 23 18Birdies 0x1b2d3c main + 14 (main.m:14) 24 ??? 0x1ac161de8 (Missing)

Video on Safari iOS - UI/UX of Shadow Content User Agent
Hi, when I display an HTML page with a on Safari iOS, I get a nice UI. Great! At the first look I see a video frame with an arrow-in-a-circle button in the middle. Very nice. I click on the arrow and I get a fullscreen view while the video begins to play. I watch the video then I pause it then I click on the top-left x button. So I go back to my html page and the video is perfectly there as it was before. But, there is an annoying new detail. The video frame is really dark, it still presents all the controls and a "different" arrow button to play it again. In other words that nice video-frame, that nice picture, is not longer visible on the page. That nice page with nice pictures has now an almost-black rectangle. Too bad. Sure I can click on the video (outside the controls) then the controls and the black overlaying frame disappear. I can see that nice picture again. Finally. Well, but the arrow-in-a-circle button to play the video disappeared. Now the user cannot longer understand that's a video to play. It looks just like any other pictures to admire statically. Is any way to get the previous first look of the video? The one clear, with the current frame and the arrow-in-a-circle look?

Safari App Extension – conflicting Bundle Identifier
Sometimes the Safari App Extension i'm developing does not show up in my Safari Extensions unless i change mu bundle identifier to some unique name. Even if I delete all other apps i've built with the same (and different) bundle ID, the extension is still does not show up. The only solution for me is to always change the bundle ID. For example: Now it is "kopyl.tab-finder-10" If i change it to "kopyl.tab-finder-11", the extension does show up in the Safari extensions settings page again. Is there any other way to fix it?

Inquiry about WebRTC camera access when using Chrome browser and WKWebView API on iPadOS
We are Java application developers and we have a question regarding camera access via WebRTC on iPadOS. Specifically, on iPadOS 17.1, we are encountering an issue when trying to access the camera via the WKWebView API in the Chrome browser, where an error occurs and the camera capture fails. Our investigation suggests that device access through the navigator.mediaDevices property via the WKWebView API may not work in Chrome. However, it works as expected in the Safari browser, leading us to wonder if this is a Chrome-specific limitation, or if it's due to an iPadOS setting or specification. At this point, we are unsure if this issue is related to the WKWebView and WebRTC specifications on iPadOS 17.1, or if there are specific limitations in Chrome. We would appreciate any insights or solutions regarding camera access in iPadOS 17.1 with WKWebView and WebRTC, especially in relation to Chrome.

macOS customized shortcut for Safari with menu title "ReTab" doesn't trigger the extension
Hello! I've made a Safari extension that supports command "ReTab", and a couple of month ago, adding a customized macOS shortcut for Safari with menu title "ReTab" did trigger the extension. However, it's not working anymore and I'm not sure if it's from macOS/Safari update or because I changed manifest from v2 to v3 - could you help check if there's anything wrong with either the manifest.json or background.js? (the default Cmd+E still works) Thank you in advance! Xun manifest.json: { "manifest_version": 3, "default_locale": "en", "name": "ReTab", "description": "Go to the last active tab with Cmd+E!", "version": "1.4", "homepage_url": "https://LycheeIsle.com", "background": { "service_worker": "background.js" }, "action": { "default_icon": "images/toolbar-icon.svg" }, "permissions": [ "commands", "tabs", "storage" ], "commands": { "ReTab": { "suggested_key": { "default": "Command+E" }, "description": "Go to the last active tab" } }, "options_page": "options.html" } in background.js, I have this line which should listen to the command, and Cmd+E works but any customized shortcut for "ReTab" in Safari doesn't: browser.commands.onCommand.addListener(async (command) => { if (command === "ReTab" || command === "retab") { await retab() } });

When loading a .webarchive in WKWebView does it handle local storage differently in iOS 18?
I have multiple web views of the same domain that share the same local storage, as expected. One of them though, is loading a .webarchive file. The web archive is of the same domain, and is loaded using the same base URL. For some reason, in most cases, the local storage is not shared with this web view when loading the web archive, although if I make that same web view load the actual live web page it does share local storage. I say in most cases, because for some users it works as expected, but for a significant portion of users it isn't sharing local storage. I think that the main difference between working and not is iOS version. iOS 17 seems to be able to share the local storage but iOS 18 does not. I can't find anything related in the release notes of iOS 18 versions. There is nothing in the documentation for load(_:mimeType:characterEncodingName:baseURL:), or the header file, that explains anything specific about local storage and webarchive loading. Does anyone know for sure how local storage is handled when a webarchive is loaded into a web view, and did something change with iOS 18 in regards to this?

Safari Web Extension - ES6 Module Imports Not Working After Enabling "type": "module"
I'm trying to use ES6 module imports in a Safari Web Extension, but despite enabling "type": "module" in the manifest, imports are not functioning as expected. Specifically when working with a project structure that includes multiple directories. A root directory containing the manifest.json and main entry point scripts A scripts/ folder housing core functionality modules A common/ directory for shared utilities, constants, and helper functions A background.js file in the root that attempts to import from these various directories When trying to import modules from the scripts/ and common/ directories into my background.js, I'm encountering complete import failures. How can I correctly implement cross-directory module imports in Safari Web Extensions?

HTMLAudioElement on iOS is paused when video plays again
On iOS (iPhone or iPad) the following behaviour happens: when both an HTML video element and an HTML audio element are playing on a page, and the video source ends, and the video source is programmatically forced to play again then the system will automatically pause the audio. See following stackblitz project for a sample: https://stackblitz.com/edit/ios-audio-paused-on-video-playing?file=README.md Steps to reproduce Feel free to try with both another audio and video source, here limited by the available space in Stackblitz plan. On an iPhone/iPad device or simulator, in Safari: browse to index.html when on iPhone, press iPhone Load to force preloading video. Not needed on iPad press Play to start playing both audio and video wait until clip ends and then restarts from 0:00 Expected Audio should keep on playing and eventually loop. Actual When clip restarts from 0, audio is put to pause by the system. Further details This does not happen e.g. on Mac Safari nor on another device/browser. Also, some alternative scenarios: when HTML video element has the muted attribute, the issue disappears and audio is not paused when HTML audio element is replace with Web Audio API, the issue disappears and audio is not paused
