Is It Possible to Restore Previous Browser State After openURL on iOS?
Hi Everyone, I’m currently working on a flow where a web page redirects to our app to perform certain actions, and then returns the user back to the browser. However, on iOS, the only way to go back to the browser is by using the openURL method. The issue is that this method can only open the browser app itself—it can’t control which tab or page is shown, so the user doesn’t return to the original tab they came from. The same limitation also applies to Android. Furthermore, iOS doesn’t allow an app to programmatically return to the previous app (in this case, the browser). While Android doesn’t have an official way either, in some cases, the OS automatically returns to the previous app when ours is closed. I’d like to ask: Is there any known method or workaround that allows returning from my app back to Safari (or the default browser) and restoring the previously active web page or tab? Or, is there any way to programmatically return to the previous app from within my app? Thanks in advance for your support!

URLSession sometimes return error -1003
Hi, I have an app on the AppStore, but a few times, I get reports from users that he gets -1003 "Could not find a server with the specified hostname" on a 4G network. I tested on my iphone app and the problem is normal. Knowing that -1003 doesn't happen to all users, maybe there is some setting on the phone that is causing this? Or is there a way to help the user to fix it (reboot or Wifi)? If anyone knows the problem please let me know, thanks.
