Two unrelated, legitimate websites I own are both shown as "Deceptive Website — Apple has identified this website as fraudulent" in Safari (iOS + macOS), and even inside my installed PWA on iOS. This is a false positive and I can't find a working way to get Apple to remove it. Why I'm confident it's a false positive: Google Safe Browsing site status: clean Google Search Console (verified owner) > Security Issues: none Yandex Webmaster > Security: no violations VirusTotal: 0/92 detections Chrome, Firefox, Yandex Browser: NO warning on any platform Only Safari shows it, wording is "Apple has identified..." — i.e. Apple's own list, not the Google Safe Browsing feed The sites are genuinely benign: no brand impersonation, no third-party credential harvesting, no malware, no drive-by downloads. The interesting part — it's TWO unrelated sites: Site A: a small web app (SaaS with a login form) Site B: my personal developer portfolio — static, no login at all They share almost nothing: different codebase, different design, different hosting (Site A is behind Cloudflare with a Google Trust Services edge cert; Site B is a plain nginx box with a Let's Encrypt cert), different TLS issuers, different stacks. The ONLY common denominator is me as the owner/registrant (same person, same contact email, same registrar account). This makes me think the domains were clustered by registrant/owner rather than by anything on the sites themselves. The two-sites fact also rules out the usual scapegoats: it isn't Cloudflare (Site B isn't even on Cloudflare and is flagged too), nor the cert issuer, host, or stack, since those differ. What I've already done: Clicked "Report an error" on the Safari warning page Submitted the Google Safe Browsing incorrect-warning report Filed a tracked report in Feedback Assistant (FB number, status Open) Hardened both sites anyway: CSP + security headers, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and real trust pages (About with owner identity + contact, Privacy Policy, Terms, linked from homepage and login page) It's been about a week with no response. My questions: When Google Safe Browsing is clean but Safari still flags, what feeds Apple's OWN fraudulent-site list? Is registrant/owner clustering a real mechanism here? Which removal channel actually works in practice? Realistic timeline for a false-positive removal? If one domain is cleared, does that clear the owner-level association for the other, or do I appeal each separately? Is there anything that re-triggers it? (Considering a domain migration as a last resort and want to avoid a new domain getting re-flagged.) Any first-hand experience is appreciated — the process is completely opaque.

My site formtracker.ru shows Safari's "Deceptive Website" warning. I believe it is a false positive, and I am trying to understand how the Apple-side check is reviewed, since every other signal I can measure is clean. What the site is A strength-training tracker that runs as a Telegram Mini App. There is no login form, no payment form, and no field anywhere that asks a visitor for credentials, card details or personal data — authentication happens inside Telegram, not on the page. The site does not imitate any brand or product; all content is our own. Privacy policy and terms are published at /privacy.html and /terms.html with a working contact address. What I verified Google Safe Browsing: clean VirusTotal: no detections Chrome, Firefox and other browsers on the same device: no warning The warning appears only in Safari One reproducible observation After migrating hosting I created a brand-new subdomain that had never been published, linked or crawled anywhere, pointing at the new IP. Safari flagged it immediately on first load. That strongly suggests the entry applies to the registrable domain and all of its subdomains rather than to a specific URL or IP — and therefore that nothing I change on my side (hosting, content, subdomain) can clear it. Possible contributing factor, already removed Until 19 Aug 2026 the site was hosted at 79.137.205.96. That address sits inside a range listed by Spamhaus SBL under a "bulletproof hosting" classification. The listing covers the whole /24 and the neighbouring /24s, including addresses unrelated to my service, so it was not specific to me; AbuseIPDB has zero reports for that address. I have since moved to a different provider entirely, and the current IP is clean in Spamhaus ZEN, Barracuda, SpamCop and SORBS. I am not claiming this was the cause — I have no way to know. It is simply the one negative signal I could find and verify, and it no longer applies. What I have already submitted "Report an Error" from the Safari warning screen The Fraudulent Website Warning review request form Feedback Assistant: FB24430497 One more detail The warning also appears with the device region set to Germany, so it does not appear to be region-specific. My questions Is there a review channel for the Apple-side list other than the three above, and is there any way to tell whether a submission was received at all? Since a never-published subdomain was flagged on first load, is the entry expected to apply to the whole registrable domain? If so, is a domain-level review the only path? Has anyone here had a Safari-only false positive cleared, and roughly how long did it take? I am happy to provide anything else that would help — full URLs, screenshots, timestamps.

Five of my sites are flagged by Safari's Deceptive Website Warning. They are legitimate and none of them collect credentials, imitate another brand or contain social engineering content: store-api.ru — paid access to third-party AI APIs (clearly states it is not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic or Google) cenwise.ru — price comparison service kirillportfolio.ru — personal developer portfolio (no login, no forms, no data collection at all) 3021.ru — habit tracking app animegenai.ru — AI image generation service All five are clean in Google Safe Browsing, Google Transparency Report, Google Search Console and Yandex Webmaster. Safari is the only place showing a warning. The flag appears to be inherited from a previous hosting provider whose IP ranges had reputation problems, and it seems attached to the domain names rather than to the current infrastructure. This is directly testable: On 20 July 2026 all sites were migrated to a new host — a single server, single IP (152.53.119.191). On that exact same server and IP, the domains created AFTER the migration are NOT flagged: filelama.com (live since 28 July, fully indexed), novelisstory.ru (25 July) and store-api.com (4 August). Only the domains that already existed under the previous host are still flagged. Same server, same IP, same certificates, same kind of content. The only variable is whether the domain existed before 20 July. store-api.ru and store-api.com are the clearest case: both are literally the same application behind the same nginx on the same IP, differing only in the domain name. The .ru is flagged, the .com is not. I submitted requests through websitereview.apple.com on 20 July and again on 11 August 2026. Neither produced a response or an acknowledgement, which as I understand is expected behaviour for that form. My questions: Is websitereview.apple.com still the correct — and only — channel for a site owner to dispute a false positive? Is there any way to confirm that a submission was received, or a typical review timeframe I should expect? Would a Feedback Assistant report under Safari add anything here, or would it simply duplicate the request?

Observed versions: Reproduced on Tahoe / Safari 26 and iOS 26 Safari. Not reproduced on v18 Safari. Not reproduced in Chrome with the same reduced test setup. We are seeing a Safari-only rendering issue affecting an ad creative inside an iframe on both desktop Safari and iOS Safari. What we observe: The issue is reproducible in Safari on OS X and iOS v26. We do not reproduce it in Chrome with the same test setup. We can reproduce it in a minimal test case, outside our site app code. The issue appears tied to the rendered iframe document/layout, not our outer page layout. The problematic rendered structure inside the iframe looks like this: <div class="GoogleActiveViewElement" style="display:inline"> <ins class="dcmads" style="display:inline-block;width:320px;height:50px"> <script src="https://www.googletagservices.com/dcm/dcmads.js"></script> </ins> </div> Here is a simplified, local-reproducible version for testing: <div class="GoogleActiveViewInnerContainer" style="left:0px; top:0px; width:100%; height:100%; position:fixed; pointer-events:none; z-index:-9999;"></div> <div class="GoogleActiveViewElement" style="display:inline"> <ins class="dcmads" style="display:inline-block;width:320px;height:50px"> <script> document.write( '<a target="_blank" href="#"><img ' + 'src="data:image/svg+xml;utf8,' + encodeURIComponent( '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="320" height="50">' + '<rect width="320" height="50" fill="#ffd8d8"/>' + '<text x="160" y="30" text-anchor="middle" font-family="Arial" font-size="14" fill="#222">' + 'img placeholder' + '</text>' + '</svg>' ) + '" ' + ' alt="Advertisement" border="0" width="320" height="50" style="display:block" /></a>' ); </script> </ins> </div> In Safari, this produces extra vertical spacing / cutoff above the ad. In the test code you will only notice an added top spacing, but when rendered in a live ad, the bottom gets cut off. A few details that may help: If we manually change the inner ins.dcmads from display:inline-block to display:inline, or adding overflow:hidden, the spacing issue goes away. If the loader script is moved outside the ins during manual experimentation, the issue also goes away. This makes it look like a Safari layout/rendering issue involving an inline wrapper around an inline-block ad container during script-driven rendering. Questions: Is this a known Safari/WebKit layout issue involving inline + inline-block content in iframe documents? Has there been any recent Safari/WebKit change that could affect this rendering path? Is there a preferred reduced repro format for reporting layout issues like this?

When I login to an account on a subdomain of a main domain, I want to be able to store a separate password for the same login id on the main domain account. This doesn't seem possible in the current Safari implementation.eg: domain.com is the main domain and is the general information site.my.domain.com is the subdomain that hosts the customer support.I want different passwords on each for the same login ID... Can't I do this?--marcel

Hi, Looking for feedback from the community. We have a app that has a weather module and a subscription module. They are built in a table format. The weather module has Y and X scroll, however the subscription only has X scroll. When we test the app on an apple device using safari browser these modules moves around in all directions with touch method. The weather module should only move on X or Y scroll however with touch screen movement it moves it all directions, including the titles of the table columns. In regards to the subscription page in only has X scroll, however it has 2 scroll a top one after all the subscriptions are listed and then a bottom on after the total cost of all the subscriptions. The module behaves fine in windows and android devices, however it does not on safari. How do we address this issue? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. AJ

Is anyone else seeing Instagram fail to open App Store links tonight? Started for me a few hours ago, iOS only. To rule out my own setup I put a bare App Store URL straight in my bio, and I also tapped the App Store links on a few competitors' sites. Same result every time: nothing happens, no error, no page. Same phone, same moment: Safari works, Facebook and YouTube work, TikTok fails. Has Instagram started blocking store links the way TikTok does? If so, it looks like we're back to telling people to tap the ⋯ menu and "Open in external browser" before they can install anything.

I am implementing push notifications for a web application running as a PWA on iPad using Web Push. When sending a push notification to the web application, I received a 410 response from the server. I would like to understand the cause and reason for receiving this 410 response. The library used for sending push notifications is a commonly used JavaScript Web Push library. Could you please explain under what circumstances Apple Web Push endpoints return a 410 response, and whether this indicates that the existing push subscription is no longer valid and should be re‑registered.

My Iphone 17 Pro Max is in ioss 27 and it is having troubles with wifi issues, It works on celluar data but however when conected to wifi it only work son certain programs such as safari, it does not work on imsg, social media and app store. However everything works fine on data, I know its not a wifi problem as my Iphone 16 pro max is having zero issues with the wifi connected to it so I am not sure what the issue is

When using passkeys stored in iCloud Keychain (Passwords app) via Passkey Autofill in browsers other than Safari, the userVerification parameter is ignored and user verification (UV) is not performed. As a result, relying party servers that require userVerification = required fail validation because the UV flag is not set, causing passkey authentication to fail. This issue occurs when the following setting is disabled: Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Use Face ID For → Password AutoFill The issue is reproducible only with the following combination: Non-Safari browsers (e.g. Chrome) Passkeys stored in iCloud Keychain (Passwords app) Passkey Autofill The issue does not occur in the following cases: Safari with passkeys stored in any credential manager Non-Safari browsers using credential managers other than iCloud Keychain Steps to Reproduce: Go to Settings → General → Autofill & Passwords, and enable the Passwords app under “Autofill From”. Go to Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Use Face ID For, and disable “Password AutoFill”. Open Chrome and navigate to https://webauthn.io Enter a username and tap “Register” to create a passkey using the Passwords app (iCloud Keychain). On webauthn.io, go to Advanced Settings → Authentication Settings, and set “User Verification” to “Required”. Reload the page, tap the input field, and perform Passkey Autofill. User Verification is not triggered, and “Authentication failed” is displayed on webauthn.io. === This issue has already been reported via Feedback Assistant as FB21756948. I am posting here to confirm whether this behavior is working as intended or represents a bug, and to make other developers aware of the current behavior.

We are currently supporting an Apple Pay-enabled card program as an issuer/issuer processor and have successfully completed In-App Push Provisioning integration within our iOS application. The in-app flow is fully operational, including issuer-side cryptographic exchange and Mastercard MDES network tokenization. We are now looking to extend this integration to support Apple Pay Web Push Provisioning, allowing cardholders to add eligible cards to Apple Wallet directly from our web application. We would appreciate guidance on: -The process for enrolling in Apple Business Register (if required) -Enabling Web Push Provisioning for an issuer profile Required entitlements or provisioning certificates Any additional onboarding steps specific to issuer-level Web provisioning We understand that Web Push Provisioning requires issuer-level enablement beyond standard Apple Pay on the Web, and we would like clarification on the correct path to activate this capability. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Hello Apple engineers and fellow developers, Over the past few weeks I have noticed multiple reports from different developers whose legitimate websites have been classified by Safari as “Fraudulent Website Warning”, despite passing every major public security and reputation check. My websites appear to be affected by the same issue. Domains https://skvoz.net https://skvoz.org Both domains were registered on July 15, 2026. The Fraudulent Website Warning first appeared on July 22, 2026, only one week after registration. Both websites are legitimate services operated by our team. Neither website impersonates another brand, attempts to collect Apple IDs, banking credentials, passwords, or any other sensitive information through deceptive means. Extensive verification performed After the warning appeared, we performed a comprehensive technical and security review. Website security ✅ No malware detected ✅ No phishing content ✅ No unauthorized redirects ✅ No suspicious JavaScript ✅ No mixed-content issues ✅ HTTPS configured correctly ✅ Valid TLS certificates Infrastructure DNS configuration verified SSL certificate chain verified using OpenSSL Server responds correctly over HTTP/2 IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity verified Origin server behaves correctly Cloudflare configuration was thoroughly tested during troubleshooting and ultimately removed from the production setup to eliminate it as a possible cause Reputation checks We verified both domains and the hosting IP address using multiple public reputation services. Results were consistently clean. This included services such as: Google Safe Browsing Google Search Console VirusTotal URLVoid IP reputation databases None of them currently report malware, phishing activity, or any other security issues. Apple-specific actions We have already: submitted a Website Review request; contacted Apple Security via reportphishing @apple.com requesting a manual review. At the time of writing, the warning is still present. One unusual observation One particularly unusual observation is that both of our domains (skvoz.net and skvoz.org) received the warning independently. These are separate domains serving different purposes, yet both appear to have been classified in the same way despite passing the same technical and reputation checks. This made me wonder whether Apple’s reputation system may evaluate related domains or shared infrastructure together. I understand the internal implementation is not public, but I wanted to mention this observation in case it is useful during investigation. Similar reports While investigating this issue, I found several recent reports from other developers describing almost identical behavior. The common pattern is remarkably consistent: Safari displays Fraudulent Website Warning Chrome, Firefox and Edge open the website normally Google Safe Browsing reports the domain as safe VirusTotal reports no malware Google Search Console reports no security issues valid HTTPS certificates relatively new domains no explanation regarding what triggered the warning This suggests the issue may not be isolated to a single website. Questions I would greatly appreciate any guidance from Apple engineers. Does Safari rely solely on Google Safe Browsing, or does Apple maintain an independent reputation database for Fraudulent Website Warning? If Apple maintains its own reputation system, are there any documented technical signals developers should verify? For example: redirects third-party scripts TLS configuration domain age hosting reputation infrastructure characteristics phishing heuristics machine-learning based classification Is there any recommended diagnostic process beyond Website Review? Approximately how long does a manual review usually take? Why I am posting This post is not only about my own websites. Over the past few months I have noticed an increasing number of developers reporting what appear to be false positive Fraudulent Website Warnings affecting legitimate websites. If there have been recent changes to Safari’s reputation or anti-phishing systems, it would be extremely helpful for developers to better understand what technical criteria should be reviewed before requesting reconsideration. Even if the exact detection logic cannot be disclosed, any general guidance on common causes of false positives would help developers resolve issues much more efficiently. Thank you very much for your time.

webkitEnterFullScreen API is supported on iOS for video element, but not for a div element. Also as a fullscreen demo website shown, Safari on macOS supports div element but not on iOS. Is there any plan to add the support in iOS? If not is there any way to fullscreen a div element or make it run as fullscreen on Safari iOS?

I operate a website that offers Sign In with Apple as an authentication option for users. When I originally set this up a couple years ago, I'd created an App ID using my personal Developer account, along with the appropriate Services ID and Key. I'm now in the process of creating an iOS app offering users similar functionality. But for this, I have a new, business Developer account, where I've created an App ID and all the same ids allowing Sign In with Apple. It feels like the first appropriate thing to do—before starting my iOS sign-in—is to get my existing website users migrated from my personal developer team to my new business developer team. I found that process very well documented by technote TN3159, which describes this as a six-step process in terms of Team A handing a project to Team B. Team A obtains access token(s) Team A generates transfer identifiers Team A initiates app transfer to Team B Team B obtains access token(s) Team B exchanges transfer identifiers Team B confirms successful user migration ✓ I'm successfully able to complete steps 1 and 2. ✘ Step 3 doesn't seem possible, as it looks like that applies to a team transferring a published app to another team. But I figured maybe that didn't matter in my case, as my website uses a Services ID, not an App ID. ✓ I'm successfully able to complete step 4. ✘ But step 5—the important part, where I get the transfer ID—fails with an invalid_request error. I suspect this is because step 3 really was important. But I can't find a way to transfer an app that isn't really an app, just a website using the Sign In with Apple service. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have recently discovered that our company website, https://www.cgs.com, displays the message "Website Not Allowed, cgs.com is a restricted website." when accessed via iOS Safari. After investigation, I found that this occurs when the Limit Adult Websites option is enabled under Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → App Store,Media, Web, & Games → Web Content. I believe this restriction has been applied incorrectly to our website, and I would like to formally request that https://www.cgs.com be removed from this restricted list. Please let me know if any supporting materials or documentation are required from our side. Best regards

I'm trying to run a MacOS shortcut using the "Run JavaScript on Active Safari Tab" action. I consistently get the error "Make sure that 'Allow JavaScript from Apple Events' is enabled in the Develop menu in Safari." The Develop menu in Safari does not contain this switch (in Tahoe 26.5.1), but if you go to Developer Settings... a dialog opens that includes the required switch. I've ensured that the switch is set on, but I continue to get the runtime error in the shortcut JavaScript. What am I missing?

Safari continues to display a "Fraudulent Website Warning" for openvan.camp despite the domain being clean across all major security databases for over a week. Chrome, Firefox, and all other browsers open the site without any warnings. Domain: openvan.camp Warning appeared: March 18, 2026 Warning type: Fraudulent Website Warning (red screen) Current security database status: Google Safe Browsing: ✅ Clean (transparencyreport.google.com) Google Search Console: ✅ No security issues Spamhaus DBL: ✅ Removed from blocklist Fortinet FortiGuard: ✅ Category "Travel" VirusTotal: ✅ 0/65 vendors URLVoid: ✅ 0/35 engines Steps taken: Removed the third-party ad network (Adsterra) that caused the original flag — March 18, 2026 Migrated hosting to Scaleway (AS12876, France), IP: 151.115.84.228 Configured SPF, DKIM, DMARC records Created functional abuse@ and postmaster@ role accounts Submitted review via websitereview.apple.com — no response after 5 days What we believe is happening: Apple's Safe Browsing database appears to have an independent entry for this domain that has not been updated despite all underlying security databases clearing the flag. Safari's warning persists even after deleting ~/Library/Safari/SafeBrowsing/ cache and re-downloading the database — which confirms this is not a local cache issue. Steps to reproduce: Open Safari on macOS or iOS Navigate to https://openvan.camp/ Safari displays "Fraudulent Website Warning" Open the same URL in Chrome — no warning Expected behavior: No warning should be shown. The domain is legitimate, clean, and verified. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is there any additional channel to escalate beyond websitereview.apple.com?

Hello, I am investigating a WKWebView cookie reliability issue with WKWebsiteDataStore.default() / persistent website data, and I would like to request a supported public API to force persistent cookie durability. We set persistent cookies from native code through the public WKHTTPCookieStore API: let dataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default() let cookieStore = dataStore.httpCookieStore await cookieStore.setCookie(cookie) The cookies have Max-Age / maximumAge set, so these are persistent cookies, not session-only cookies. Reproduction pattern: Use WKWebsiteDataStore.default(). Clear existing cookies. Set a persistent cookie through WKHTTPCookieStore.setCookie. After setCookie completes, terminate WebKit's NetworkProcess soon afterward. Create or reuse a WKWebView with the same WKWebsiteDataStore.default(). Load a same-origin page or trigger a same-origin fetch. I also have reproducible WebKit source-level test cases for this, in the style of TestWebKitAPI / WKHTTPCookieStore tests. The tests exercise persistent WKWebsiteDataStore.default() cookies, terminate the NetworkProcess after the cookie mutation, and then verify that a top-level load, same-origin fetch, and WKHTTPCookieStore cookie read can miss the cookie on an unpatched WebKit build. Observed result: The next top-level HTTP request, and sometimes a same-origin fetch, can omit the cookie that was just set. After the NetworkProcess is relaunched, WKHTTPCookieStore.allCookies() can also fail to show the recently set cookie. If I wait long enough after the cookie mutation before terminating the NetworkProcess, the problem disappears. In local simulator testing, this lines up with CFNetwork appearing to debounce/coalesce persistent cookie writes in an approximately 2-to-10 second window. That makes this look like setCookie completion means the current NetworkProcess / CFNetwork cookie store accepted the cookie in memory, but the persistent cookie backing store has not necessarily been written yet. If the NetworkProcess dies before that delayed write, the replacement NetworkProcess appears to reload stale cookie state from disk. This is especially painful for apps that bridge native authentication state into WKWebView. The app sees setCookie complete, assumes the cookie is ready, and then a later WebKit NetworkProcess termination can cause authenticated web requests to be sent without the expected auth cookie. We believe that, at scale, this is a mechanism causing a baseline of about 5% of our HTTP requests, as measured by HAProxy, to lack cookies that should be present. We know those cookies should be present because we duplicate the same values as URLRequest headers under different keys, and the headers are present while the corresponding Cookie header entries are missing. The API gap is that there does not appear to be a supported public equivalent of Android WebView's CookieManager.flush(). There is no public way for an app to say: "I just mutated persistent WKWebView cookies; please synchronously/asynchronously flush the persistent cookie store before I proceed." Request: Please expose a public flush API for persistent WKHTTPCookieStore / WKWebsiteDataStore cookies, for example an async API shaped like: try await websiteDataStore.httpCookieStore.flush() or: try await websiteDataStore.flushCookies() The important behavior would be: after WKHTTPCookieStore.setCookie / deleteCookie completes, an app can explicitly request durability; the flush completion should mean persistent cookie state has been handed to the backing persistent store, not merely accepted by the current NetworkProcess; if flushing is impossible because the relevant process/state is gone, the API should fail or report that, rather than silently succeeding; the API should be safe for App Store apps and should not require private SPI. Question: Are there any recommended supported patterns today for forcing persistent WKWebView cookies to reach durable storage after native WKHTTPCookieStore mutations? Is there an official supported way to force or observe cookie durability for persistent WKWebsiteDataStore cookies? If not, is the recommended approach simply to re-apply critical cookies before loads and tolerate NetworkProcess loss as unrecoverable app-side state? This issue is not just theoretical. It affects auth/session reliability when WebKit's NetworkProcess is terminated before the backing persistent cookie write completes. Apps can reduce unnecessary cookie churn, but without a flush API there is no supported way to close the durability window after setting important persistent cookies.

Hello, I am developing a Safari extension that uses service workers and all works well. When the extension is updated, a new content script is injected into the current open tabs however the service worker connection with the new content script does not get established. I confirmed both the old content script and new one is on the page, but the new one just doesn't execute which means it will not connect to the service worker. In Chrome a newly injected content script does work and in FireFox it is handled by FireFox automatically. How can this be done in Safari? Any help would be appreciated.

Tested iPhone 16 Pro Max running DB2 Since using iOS 27 Developer Beta, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and applications using WKWebView that route live streaming audio (such as Icecast/SHOUTcast streams) through the Web Audio API (AudioContext / MediaElementAudioSourceNode for canvas visualizers) experience silent playback freezes during track changes. The JavaScript context remains active, and the HTMLMediaElement reports no errors or pauses, but the low-level system audio daemon (audiod) disconnects. The logs indicate a state desynchronization in MediaToolbox triggered by inline metadata frame updates, coupled with massive sandbox violations. Steps to reproduce: Run a PWA or WKWebView on iOS 27 Developer Beta that loads a live audio stream using an tag. Route the media element into the Web Audio API (e.g., audioContext.createMediaElementSource(audioElement)). Play the stream and lock the screen or let it run in the foreground. Wait for a track transition to occur on the live stream server (which pushes an inline ICY metadata update). Observed Result: Audio instantly goes silent at the track boundary. JavaScript rendering loops remain active, but the stream is dead. List of important errors: MediaToolbox parsing failure: <<<< FigStreamPlayer >>>> fpfs_CacheRenderChain: Caching unexpected mediatype metadata Reasoning: When the stream updates its inline metadata, MediaToolbox (FigStreamPlayer) fails to handle the frame descriptor correctly, halting the stream decoder render chain. Audio engine state desynchronization: <<<< FigStreamPlayer >>>> fpfs_SetRateOnTrack: [...] setting rate on track before it has reached playing state - 4 instead Reasoning: WebKit attempts to keep playing or setting the playback rate, but MediaToolbox fails because the underlying decoder track is stuck in an uninitialized/stalled state (4). System Audio Daemon Disconnection: Subsystem: com.apple.audioanalytics | Process: audiod Reporter disconnected. ( function=sendMessage, reporterID=... ) Reasoning: Because the rendering stream stalled, the system audio daemon (audiod) forcibly severs the audio session connection to the browser container. Massive Sandbox Log Flooding (WebKit.WebContent): Sandbox: com.apple.WebKit.WebContent(2719) deny(1) syscall-unix 179 Reasoning: WebKit's WebAudio thread tries to log trace markers to XNU's kdebug_trace64 (syscall 179) but is blocked by the WebContent sandbox profile, resulting in a loop of thousands of denials that clog the thread. What needs to be fixed: MediaToolbox (FigStreamPlayer): Fix the regression where incoming live stream metadata frames stall the render chain when connected to a Web Audio node. WebKit Sandbox Profiles: Update the iOS WebContent, Network, and GPU sandbox rules to allow necessary tracing/diagnostic calls (syscall-unix 179 and mach-lookup com.apple.diagnosticd) in developer beta builds to prevent thread-blocking loops.
