HI, please can someone help?
I have a web app where push notifications are in place for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Providing the user allows notifications then when they log in for the first time their details are registered to the subscriptions table in the backend. All good so far.
When trying to do the same with Safari on Mac I'm faced with this issue:
"Safari doesn’t support invisible push notifications. Present push notifications to the user immediately after your service worker receives them. If you don’t, Safari revokes the push notification permission for your site."
and the user is not registered in the subscription table with the Safari console just saying variations of this:
[Warning] Notification permission denied. (notifications_frontend.js, line 177, x2)
[Log] Enable Notifications button clicked (notifications_frontend.js, line 245)
[Log] Safari Push Notifications detected (notifications_frontend.js, line 248)
[Warning] Safari Push Permission denied. (notifications_frontend.js, line 278)
I've found this on an another forrum:
"Safari requires that you immediately post a notification when a push message is received. "Immediately" means that it cannot be after some async operation.
If you display a notification immediately from the service worker itself, it will stop displaying that error. I cannot remember 100% but I think if you clear your cache and cookies you will be able to receive push messages again if you accidentally get blocked while testing."
and I've tried adding buttons to trigger allowing notifications but it all seem to late to get the subscription registered in the subscription table.
I'm pretty new to coding so if any has a similar experience and can advice how to get the subscriptions registered when the user logs on for the first time in Safari in a Mac it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

There is no problem with the content display of each tab, but the tab bar is completely buggy.
If you open 5 or more tabs and browse tabs after the 5, the first 4 tab bars will be completely blacked out, and you don't even know how many tabs you have.
If you click on the place where the tab title probably exists, the tab is displayed as if the partial display of the tab bar has been restored.
There is no problem with content display. But because it is unclear what tab is open, the browsing experience is at its lowest.
If you switch to the tab after the 5th, the first 4 will return to the blackout state again.
Of course, it is the latest software configuration at the moment. There is no shortage of memory at 24GB.
I recently started developing a Safari extension with AppExtension, but is that due to it?

We are testing our safari web extension (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatfix-for-jnj-centris/id6723895659) on an iPad 7th Gen (iPadOS v - 17.4.1)
I am sharing a video link where you can see the widget (named Self Help) appears on the application. However after a couple of refreshes, it vanishes. This widget is powered by the extension.
We tried connecting the iPad to Mac and opened the webinspector. The extension content script sends a message to the service worker and it is expected to send back a response which it is not doing
We believe it is related to an issue that has been highlighted multiple times in the developer forum -
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758346
We have tried using several workaorunds as suggested by peer developers in the thread but we are unable to revive the service worker once it is killed.
We would like to understand from you, how to recover from this issue. Is there any workaround that we can apply to make sure that extension works fine?
It would be immensely helpful if we can get on a call to explain the issue further

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!
This is a rare occurrence on our site, having only detected 4 instances of it over the past few weeks, where 10s of thousands of transactions have occurred successfully.
We only call the following PaymentRequest API onClick from the <apple-pay-button>:
async function startApplePay(merchantIdentifier, amount) {
...
try {
const request = new PaymentRequest([ applePayMethod ], paymentDetails);
...
catch (e) {
// cancel, just stay here
if (e.name === "AbortError") {
if (consoleLog) console.log("Payment canceled", e);
logServer("INFO", "Payment canceled");
}
else {
handleError("Error caught: " + e.name + ", " + e.cause + ", " + e.message);
}
}
Where the "handleError" else case is what gets triggered:
Error caught: SecurityError, undefined, show() must be triggered by user activation.
All 4 instances have been from iPads, but with that small of a sample size, we can't tell whether that's relevant or coincidence. Different iOS versions, but looks like same Safari version.
Here are the 4 User Agents we've seen thus far:

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!
In a project to create a web extension for Safari, using scripting.registerContentScript() API to inject a bunch of scripts into web pages, I needed to manage a dynamic whitelist (i.e., web pages where the scripts should not be injected).
Fortunately, scripting.registerContentScripts() gives you the option of defining a list of web pages to be considered as a whitelist, using the excludeMatches parameter in the directive, to represent an array of pages where the script should not be injected.
Here just a sample of what I mean:
const matches = ['*://*/*'];
const excludeMatches = ['*://*.example.com/*'];
const directive = {
id: 'injected-jstest',
js: ['injectedscript.js'],
matches: matches,
excludeMatches: excludeMatches,
persistAcrossSessions: false,
runAt: 'document_start'
};
await browser.scripting.registerContentScripts([directive])
.catch(reason => { console.log("[SW] >>> inject script error:",reason); });
Of course, the whitelist (the excludeMatches array) is not static, but varies over time according to the needs of the moment.
Everything works perfectly in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, ...) and Firefox, but fails miserably in Safari. In fact, Safari seems to completely ignore the excludeMatches parameter and injects the script even where it should not.
Has anyone had the same problem and solved it somehow?
NOTE : To test the correctness and capabilities of the API in each browser, I created a simple repository on Github with the extension code for Chromium, Firefox and Safari (XCode project).

How can I send a POST request using PHP, and what certificates are required?
Currently, I have downloaded the following files on the backend: merchant_id.cer, apple_pay.cer, and a local cert.p12 file
This my code:
But,run error:cURL Error: unable to set private key file: '***/private.pem' type PEM%
On iOS 18, when setting the src attribute of an tag to a custom scheme (e.g., myapp://image.png) or an HTTP URL (http://example.com/image.png), if crossorigin="anonymous" is applied, the image fails to load. Additionally, images affected by this issue cannot be drawn to a , as the browser treats them as tainted and blocks access to their pixel data.
This issue did not occur in previous iOS versions and seems to be a regression in iOS 18.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open an HTTPS-hosted H5 page in Safari on iOS 18.
Add an tag with crossorigin="anonymous" and set src to either:
A custom scheme:
<img src="myapp://image.png" crossorigin="anonymous">
An HTTP URL (even from the same origin):
<img src="http://example.com/image.png" crossorigin="anonymous">
Observe that the image does not load.
Attempt to draw the image onto a and retrieve its data:
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
const img = new Image();
img.crossOrigin = "anonymous";
img.src = "http://example.com/image.png"; // or "myapp://image.png"
img.onload = () => {
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
try {
console.log(canvas.toDataURL()); // Expect base64 image data
} catch (error) {
console.error("Canvas is tainted:", error);
}
};
Notice that the image is blocked, and any attempt to access pixel data results in a CORS error.
Expected Behavior:
* The image should be displayed if it is accessible under normal CORS rules.
* The API should allow access to the image data unless explicitly blocked by the server’s CORS policy.
Actual Behavior:
The image fails to load when crossorigin="anonymous" is applied.
The API does not allow access to the image data, treating it as tainted.
Removing crossorigin="anonymous" allows the image to display in some cases, but this is not a viable workaround when CORS enforcement is required.
Regression:
Works correctly on: iOS 17 and earlier
Broken on: iOS 18
Environment:
Device: iPhone/iPad
iOS Version: 18.0+
Browser: Safari
Suggested Fix:
Apple should investigate this regression and allow custom schemes and HTTP images to be correctly handled under CORS policies when crossorigin="anonymous" is set. If the source allows cross-origin requests, Safari should not block the image or its use in .
I'm currently experimenting to add 3d stereo images in HEIC format to my daily Mars Rover Images website https://areo.info/mars20 which can be opened on a Vision Pro. Only a few images are yet converted into that mode, those on the sol 1411 page.
As I'm currently only working in the Vision Pro Simulator from Xcode, no real 3d effect if of course visible and I'm curious if anyone using the real hardware can confirm that the images are working.
Especially the eye distance correction is important to know about as the Mars Rover camera has a much wider pupil distance than humans and while I entered that distance in the conversion tool, I'm not sure if it worked well. So feedback is welcome!
For those who like to try to create stereo images themselves: I used https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ImageIO/writing-spatial-photos to create a HEIC file from two JPEGs.
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
by turning web content restriction setting turned on
why the facebook and twiiter havn’t blocked ???pls fix this…..

I tried to create a content blocker for Safari and did it through Safari App Extension and Safari Web Extension.
The XCode project for Safari Extension creates 2 applications: the “Main Application” (which is compiled into ".app") and the “Safari Extension” itself (which is compiled into ".appex").
If you want to create a content blocker, you must add “Content Blocker Extension” from the “File → New → Target” menu. This will be the third application in the group, which is also compiled into "*.appex".
And now about differences...
The first difference is that Web Extension does not have the right to work on any domains by default, unlike App Extension. For the App Extension, in the "info.plist" in the "SFSafariWebsiteAccess" section, we can remove "Allowed Domains" and in "Level" replace "Some" to "All". This is important because the content blocker should work on any domain, and not be turned on manually for each individual. This will not work in Web Extension and will have to be activated for each domain separately.
The second significant difference between Web Extension and App Extension is that for security reasons it is more limited in page management.
Web Extensions are supposedly focused on a common API for all browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge, Safari), but if I use Safari and want maximum integration with it, then I don't care about all those browsers. In this case, I don't need Web Extension.
App Extension functions as a client-server even within the “Main Application”. This is quite expensive and can be fixed. You can remove the “webView” component from storyBoard and remove this files: “script.js”, “main.html”, “style.css”. After this you will get the pure storyBoard without any tinsel and communication between these layers. That’s will work perfectly because these are native Swift applications.
p.s. To show the "Safari Extension" window after clicking on the icon on the toolbar, you need to change key from "Command" to "Popover" in the "info.plist" in the section "SFSafariToolbarItem" in the "Action".
write your additions...

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.

This is the code suggested by Grok 3 Beta, but I see this error:

Hello, following problems described here:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/765272
Last version of Safari apparently corrected previous bugs, however we encountered another problem. Right now Safari uses autocomplete feature of some kind (Siri suggested websites/Top hit) which triggers blocking while writing the name of the website. Probably somehow loads website in the background. Problem is, that this behavior is impossible to debug, because this autocomplete doesn't work, while the browser console is open. We are using content script for blocking.
Please advise.
Thanks very much

I'm having issues with opening up role="link". links in wkwebview. Is there a way in my decideforpolicy to allow these links to open up in the current webview vs another window like a traditional web browser does? Thank you ahead of time.
Hi all!
I have been working on a web speech recognition service using the Web Speech API. This service is intended to work on smartphones, primarily Chrome on Android and Safari (or WebKit WebView) on iOS.
In my specific use case, I need to set the properties continuous = true and interimResults = true. However, I have noticed that interimResults = true does not always work as expected in WebKit.
I understand that this setting should provide fast, native, on-device speech recognition with isFinal = false. However, at times, the recognition becomes throttled and slow, yielding isFinal = true and switching to cloud-based recognition.
To confirm whether the recognition is cloud-based, I tested it by disabling the internet connection before starting speech recognition. In some cases, recognition fails entirely, which suggests that requiresOnDeviceRecognition = false is being applied. (Reference: SFSpeechRecognitionRequest.requiresOnDeviceRecognition)
I believe this is not the expected behavior when setting interimResults = true. I have researched the native services used by the Web Speech API on iOS devices, and the following links seem relevant:
• SFSpeechRecognizer
• SFSpeechRecognitionRequest.shouldReportPartialResults
• SFSpeechRecognizer.supportsOnDeviceRecognition
• Recognizing speech in live audio
• Apple Developer Forums Discussion
I found that setRequiresOnDeviceRecognition and setShouldReportPartialResults appear to be set correctly, but apparently, they do not work as expected:
WebKit Source Code
"We have a multi-tenant EdTech platform serving over 1500 clients, each with a unique domain (e.g., client1.eduapp.com). We use WKWebView in a native shell. Due to WKAppBoundDomains restriction, we can't dynamically list all domains. How can we support dynamic tenants while maintaining cookie persistence"
"Can Apple suggest a best practice or alternative approach for apps using WebView/PWA shell architecture across multiple client domains?"
Problem:
We cannot predefine all 1500 domains in WKAppBoundDomains due to limitations.
As a result:
Service workers fail to register, breaking PWA functionality Ex: Offline.
