Hello there, We are having a problem when trying to repdorucir videos with videojs in a webview on devices with iOS older than 17.4. When playing them you see that the player restarts several times until crashing the webview. This are the xcode logs when this happens: Error acquiring assertion: <Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.multitasking.systemappassertions)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.multitasking.systemappassertions)}> 0x114029980 - ProcessAssertion::acquireSync Failed to acquire RBS assertion 'WebKit Media Playback' for process with PID=64167, error: Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.multitasking.systemappassertions)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.multitasking.systemappassertions)} 0x1140180c0 - [PID=64164] WebProcessProxy::didClose: (web process 0 crash) 0x1140180c0 - [PID=64164] WebProcessProxy::processDidTerminateOrFailedToLaunch: reason=Crash

After iOS 17.4, Passkey Autofill stopped working inside ASWebAuthenticationSession. iOS 17.5 re-enabled users to pick passkeys if they tap "🔑" icon on right bottom of keyboard and opened Safari password manager. However, it still doesn't recommend passkeys on the first view. Even on the latest iOS 18.0 developer beta, the behaviour is not fixed yet.

Unable to create a cookie using WebKit API or manually create a cookie in Safari with SameSite=None on a device using iPadOS 18 beta. In Safari, the None option is still in the drop down as a selection for SameSite which leads me to believe this is a bug. Is this going to be fixed in the release version of iOS 18?

Hello, a very simple question, is there a test domain that is flagged by safari as a fraudulent webpage? one that is just for testing? Thank you.

We have implemented a content blocker using the Safari Web Extension, which can be toggled on or off as needed. However, we've noticed that changes in the Safari browser take effect only after the page is reloaded again. This behaviour has been observed across all simulators as well as on iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 16.7.8. Is this due to a delay in the JS file rules updation on simulator and lower devices?

Hello everyone, I am currently developing several Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and I am wondering if it’s possible to programmatically open an installed PWA on iOS/iPadOS from another app or a link. My goal is to be able to launch an installed PWA directly from an action in another PWA, a web app, or a native app on iOS. For example, I’d like to know if this can be achieved via a deep link, a custom protocol (web+), or any other mechanism available on these platforms. Has anyone successfully implemented this feature or found a workaround to programmatically open an installed PWA on iOS/iPadOS? Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions!

Hello, dear Apple community I have WordPress website: https://fritzboxwelt.de/ I was using Google Chrome to access the website dashboard. For some reason, I shifted from Chrome to Safari, but now I am facing errors when logging in. What should I do now? Is it a website issue or my browser settings are not okay? It will be great to hear from you.

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with my Safari extension on iOS 18. When trying to access images using browser.runtime.getURL(), it doesn't work as expected. The same code works on iOS 17 and earlier versions. Here's my manifest file and code snippet. "web_accessible_resources": [ { "resources": [ "html/*.html", "images/*.png", "images/*.gif", "images/*.svg", "json/*.json", "fonts/*.ttf", "css/*.css" ], "matches": [ "<all_urls>" ] }, "images/fs_loading.svg", "images/status_protected.svg", "images/safe_check_icon.svg" ] `var status_ok_svg = browser.runtime.getURL("images/status_protected.svg");` Note: Image all are added in Images folder only

I'm experiencing a Safari Web Extension issue where the non-persistant background script seems to crash after 30 seconds even when the content script is messaging it. Here is a minimal-reproducible example. When running in an emulator, the background script will stay responsive forever. However, when running on a physical device, the background script becomes non-responsive after 30 seconds of activity. It never becomes responsive again until I toggle the extensions enable/disable toggle, after which it stays active for 30 seconds and then crashes again.

We had developed an iOS Safari web extension (which uses non-persistent background scripts) that functioned properly until iOS 17.3. However, I've encountered inconsistent behavior on iOS 17.4.1, 17.5, and 17.5.1. Upon further debugging, I noticed that the background scripts often become idle and are unloaded frequently. They are not loaded again even for the registered webNavigation events and only trigger when interacting with the extension popup menu. This is also mentioned here. I had tried this in both manifest versions 2 & 3. I had tried using service_worker for background scripts. But, none of it seems to resolve this issue. Could you please clarify if this is a bug or an intended behavior? Our extension relies on webNavigation events without users having to interact with the popup menu often.

Hello there! At our company we have started to deal with an issue in the latest iOS (17.5) version. It looks like the background script of the extension becomes unresponsive after a short amount of time (around 30 seconds) after performing more than one request to it within a range of 1 - 4 seconds. How it can be tested? Pretty simple example: // content.js const t = 4000 // Using less than 4000ms makes background script unresponsive async function requestNext() { return browser.runtime.sendMessage({ greeting: "getNext" }) } setInterval(async () => { const n = await requestNext() console.log("current is: " + n) }, 4000) // background.js let counter = 0 browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener((request, sender, sendResponse) => { console.log("Received request: ", request); if (request.greeting === "getNext") { counter++ sendResponse(counter); return true } }); Whenever the browser.runtime.sendMessage is executed too fast the background script will stop working. As far as we have been able to check this only can be reproduced after 17.4.1

Running extension either on physical device or simulator. When trying to get the console log in Safari > Develop > Device > The main page shows but when launching the popup.js extension it doesn't show in order to see console. Works fine iOS 17* Not available iOS 18 FB14109978

I am developing a web application with PWA and Vue.js (javascript). I would like to add a Web Push notification function, so I referred to the following site to execute notification permission and received the response result "granted". https://developer.mozilla.org/ja/docs/Web/API/Notification/requestPermission_static I have tried both requestPermission(); and requestPermission(callback). However, in this state, an error occurred when subscribing to pushManager, and push notification registration could not be executed. As a workaround, I found that by changing the notification permission setting from the OS Settings > Notification screen to Off and On, subscribing to pushManager was successful. Is there anything else I need to implement other than calling requestPermission(); or requestPermission(callback) to make it executable without following the workaround steps? In addition, this phenomenon was not occurring around the beginning of June 2024, and it was confirmed that the problem occurred as of August 5th. The confirmed OS and models are as follows. iOS 17.4 Mobile Safari iPad iOS 17.3 Mobile Safari iOS 15.8 Mobile Safari iOS 17.3 Mobile Safari iPad iOS 15.8 Mobile Safari iPad iOS 17.4 Mobile Safari iOS 16.7 Mobile Safari

We have tested on iPhone 12 Pro and observed that Safari allowed approximately 1.5GB of RAM usage. Page refreshes when trying to allocate more memory. After performing a hard reset and erasing all content, I noticed that Safari allowed approximately 3GB of RAM usage for our webpage. However, after 2-3 days, the maximum allowable RAM usage in Safari decreases to about 1.5GB. Once 1.5GB limit is reached, the system reloads the page. To further investigate, I performed another hard reset on my device, and once again, Safari allowed around 3GB of RAM usage. Additionally, we tested this on iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, where the RAM limitation in Safari is consistently around 3GB (page is reloading after reaching 3GB). Could you please clarify why the memory limit fluctuates after hard reset? Is there any specific setting or flag within Safari or iPhone that controls the maximum RAM usage, which could be causing this behavior? I also posted the issue there: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277848 I would appreciate any guidance or potential solutions to this issue. If this is a known limitation or issue, understanding the root cause would be extremely helpful. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Model Name: iPhone 12 Pro iOS Version: 17.5.1 Capacity: 128gb

I have some questions about the behavior of encode. For example, with the following code, when we encode a very large string, the result is an empty array. So if memory allocation fails due to insufficient system memory or other reasons, and the returned Uint8Array is not successfully created, what will we get? An empty array, an exception, or an OOM crash? const encoder = new TextEncoder(); const encoded = encoder.encode(largeText);

Hello! I've been maintaining a Cordova-based calling application for years. Cordova uses a webview to show the user interface and has a bridge for calling native iOS API from JavaScript. The application uses CallKit and VoIP push notifications to handle the calling functionality. Before the iOS 17.5 update, calling worked relatively stable. However, starting from this version and on, Safari instantly force-closes all open websocket connections when the "Answer" button on the calling UI is hit. So, basically, the call ends right after it answers, because in our case websockets are crucial for the SIP negotiation process. Firstly, I inspected the Safari console, and there is a new red error saying: WebSocket connection to 'wss://home.thirdlane.com/wss' failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. Software caused connection abort. Secondly, I checked the Xcode logs, and there are several warnings saying Invalidating grant <invalid NS/CF object> failed every time the call is answered. And, I'm afraid this is all that I have to cling to. I managed to mitigate the effect by connecting the websockets only when the call is answered and the application is focused. However, this approach has its own drawbacks and doesn't solve all the problematic cases. I must mention that the behavior has slightly improved in iOS 17.6 – now the websockets are cut after the "Answer" button hit whereas in 17.5.1 they were cut in ~3 seconds after the VoIP push regardless of whether the answer was made. This looks like a Safari/WebView bug to me and I would like bring it to the Apple's attention. I've never filed a bug before, so hopefully this is the right place to write. I can provide more logs or vidoes upon request. Thank you!

Is there a way to detect if the user has tapped on "Turn Off Content Blockers" option on safari in ios or get a callback from the same?

I am a student at Utah Valley University doing a UX Research project involving spatial web browsing on Safari. I am trying to determine if spatial video and photos would be supported on a safari web page while using the AVP. I am not a developer, so my knowledge of that front is limited, but I am hoping to get any insight into if that feature would be able to be implemented into a web based experience. If so, what formats would need to be used? Is the MV-HEVC format able to be directly embedded? Or is there another format that needs to be explored? Any insight is appreciated!

Hi everyone, when My project (Angular 5) running in Safari Browser, we have a download function, it's download the excel file, end with .xlsx, but when running in low version Safari version, it will have a popup, that is not my project did, it blocked be safari itself, you can check the image, my question is how to hide the 'View' button or directly download instead of show the popup?

I'm trying to mimic glossy, semi-transparent blurry backgrounds for my visionOS app inside of WKWebView It's easy to do for menus like on the screenshot below, using semitransparent background and applying backdrop-effect: blur(20px) The problem I have is when I make the whole window like this by specifying webView.isOpaque = false and applying to body background-color: transparent. In this case, suddenly, the backdrop-effect: blur stops working for menu. See picture below: You can clearly see that blur is not working anymore since you can see 3 dots behind the menu. I did not touch any CSS properties for the menu itself, only making the whole window semi-transparent. Is there any workaround for this problem? For me it's a blocker to make UI to feel native to visionOS.
