In my application, I use HTML pages to display the interface. Since it’s a cross-platform app, the pages and interactions work properly on other platforms. However, in WebKit, because HTTPS protocol is used, JS requests from the page cannot use the ws protocol but must use the wss protocol under HTTPS. Is there any way to allow a webpage under HTTPS to use ws requests normally? Google Chrome can do this.

Is there any supported mechanism in Safari Web Extensions (MV3) for capturing or logging network request data (like fetch, XHR, or webRequest) triggered by the web page?
I want to write an app, that lets users restore all oben windows and tabs from any given point in a TimeMachine backup. The store location seems to have changed. In earlier versions it was possible to restore the open windows and tabs by retrieving
/Users/[UserName]/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari/SafariTabs.db
…/SafariTabs.db-shm
…/SafariTabs.db-wal
As of 18.3 this doesn’t work any more, even though these files get updated with the use of Safari
What else would I need to retrieve from a back up disk?
Thank you very much for any hints!
Area: WebKit (Safari)
Description:
I am reporting an issue where our application's core functionality is being broken by Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP).
ITP's "Link Tracking Protection" feature automatically strips specific query parameters from URLs. We understand this is an intentional privacy feature. However, our application requires these query parameters to carry essential, non-tracking data, such as authentication tokens or specific app-state information to function correctly.
When a user navigates to our site, Safari strips these parameters, this means our client-side application never receives the necessary data, which breaks core features and leads to a failed user experience. This is a significant issue for our application as it prevents users from accessing their content.
We are seeking guidance on how to resolve this.
Questions for Apple:
Is there a recommended way to identify and flag essential, non-tracking query parameters so that Safari's ITP does not strip them?
Our parameters are critical for app functionality, not for third-party tracking. What is the recommended best practice for building web applications that rely on URL parameters while adhering to ITP's privacy-first model?
We want to ensure our application is compatible with modern browser privacy features without compromising functionality.
Could you provide a detailed explanation of what criteria ITP uses to decide which parameters to strip? Understanding the underlying logic would help us restructure our URLs to avoid this issue.

DNR rules redirecting to an extension path lead to an error page: “Safari can’t open the page. The error is: “The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1008.)” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1,008).”
Here is a demo extension that replicates the bug: https://github.com/lenacohen/Safari-Test-Extensions/tree/main/dnr-extension-path-redirect
This is an example of a redirect rule that leads to an error page instead of the extension path page:
chrome.declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules({addRules: [
{
id: 2,
priority: 1,
action: {
type: "redirect",
redirect: {
extensionPath: "/web_accessible_resources/test_redirect.html"
}
},
condition: {
urlFilter: "||washingtonpost.com^",
resourceTypes: [
"main_frame"
]
}
}
]});
The extension path is included in web_accessible_resources in the extension manifest:
"web_accessible_resources": [{
"resources": [
"web_accessible_resources/test_redirect.html"
],
I also submitted a bug report on Apple's Feedback Assistant: FB16607632
We have a Safari extension that's been up on the App Store for about 18 months with no apparent issues. This week, however, while working on an update, we uninstalled the production version on our test machines and installed a developer version. When we had some issues, we tried to go back to the production version downloaded from the App Store, but we get an pop saying "Unable to download App." In the log, the most obviously relevant error is 'Operation not permitted'.
This occurs on several machines and different logins on those machines in both norma and safe modes. However, on another machine that never had one installed, we could still install the app from the app store, so I suspect there is something left behind that needs to be removed, but I don't know what.
FWIW, I see the download directory getting created under /Applications, but it is promptly removed when the failure popup appears.
Any suggestions?
When the iCloud Passwords Chrome extension is on, there is a 400-500ms lag between clicking on a non-password field and the UI reflecting any changes made by a .on("focus") jQuery listener.
When the extension is disabled, there is no lag.
See below the performance profiles for the same 4 click events.

How can I make a background image take the entire screen in ios26?
I've tried position fixed, sticky, env() css variables but nothing worked. It does it when in PWA mode, but I would like to do so in the browser too.
I want to confirm the specifications and behavior of Safari.
We have a system built on Microsoft Azure that uses Azure AD B2C for authentication.
When we logging in, there is a phone authentication feature where a call is made to the registered phone number.
However, this phone authentication does not work properly only on iPhone's Safari. The specific situation is listed below:
When performing phone authentication on iPhone's Safari, a call is made from Azure AD B2C, and pressing the # button on the Safari screen can be done. But then, it transitions to an error screen.
We tried multiple iPhone devices and multiple iOS versions, but the result was the same.
But when accessing the system on a PC, and performing phone authentication, it works without any errors.
Also when we use browsers other than Safari (for example, Google Chrome and Firefox) on the iPhone, the phone authentication works without any errors, too.
Even with Safari, if the device displaying the login screen and the device making the call are different, phone authentication works without any errors, too.(it fails if they are the same device).
We reached out Microsoft about this issue, and they responded that:
The Azure resource called FrontDoor at the front end of Azure AD B2C supports the HTTP/2 protocol, and HTTP/2 protocol is used in communication with Safari.
In Safari's HTTP/2 communication, when a call is received while the screen is displayed, a reset packet is sent to the web server (in this case, the web server is FrontDoor).
This interrupts the session, causing a session termination error on the Azure AD B2C side, and phone authentication fails.
Therefore, we would like to ask you the following two points:
In HTTP/2 communication, does the Safari browser send a reset packet to the web server when it receives a phone call?
If so, what is the cause of this behavior? And are there any measures to prevent the reset packet from being sent?

Our app connects to the headend to get a IDP login URL for each connection session, for example: “https://myvpn.ocwa.com/+CSCOE+/saml/sp/login?ctx=3627097090&acsamlcap=v2” and then open embedded webview to load the page. (Note: the value of ctx is session token which changes every time). Quite often the webview shows blank white screen. After user cancel the connection and re-connect, the 2nd time webview loads the content successfully.
The working case logs shows:
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
decidePolicyForNavigationAction is called twice
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
decidePolicyForNavigationResponse is called
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
But the failure case shows:
Filed to terminate process: Error Domain=com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x11461c240 {Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process found" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=No such process found}}}
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is called
decidePolicyForNavigationAction is called
decidePolicyForNavigationResponse is called
If we stop calling evaluateJavaScript code to get userAgent, the blank page happens less frequently. Below is the code we put in makeUIView():
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView
{
if let url = URL(string: self.myUrl)
{
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
webview.evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent")
{
result, error in
if let error = error
{
NSLog("evaluateJavaScript Error: \(error)")
}
else
{
let agent = result as! String + " " + self.myUserAgent
webview.customUserAgent = agent
webview.load(request)
}
}
}
return self.webview
}
Found some posts saying call evaluateJavaScript only after WKWebView has finished loading its content. However, it will block us to send the userAgent info via HTTP request. And I don’t think it is the root cause since the problem still occurs with less frequency.
There is no problem to load same web page on Windows desktop and Android devices. The problem only occurs on iOS and macOS which both use WKWebview APIs.
Is there a bug in WKWebview?
Thanks,
Ying

An Administrator account is executing safaridriver --enable but it doesn't apply to other standard user accounts and standard accounts can't enable it directly. Is this expected behavior? How can standard users make use of safaridriver?
Hi. I'm a developer of Tab Finder (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tab-finder/id6741719894)
My problem is that every time i switch from my first window to a second window, the tabs in the validateToolbarItem() are INcorrect on a first call, but when I switch back from the second window to my main window, the tabs are CORRECT even on a first call.
To demonstrate it, i recorded a video: https://youtu.be/RwskzrSJ8u0
To run the same sample extension from the video, you can get the code from this GitHub repo: https://github.com/kopyl/test-tabs-change
Its only purpose is to log URLs of an active page of all tabs.
The SafariExtensionHandler's code of the sample app is very simple:
import SafariServices
func printOpenTabsHost(in window: SFSafariWindow) async {
let tabs = await window.allTabs()
log("Logging tabs for a new window: \(window.hashValue)")
for tab in tabs {
let page = await tab.activePage()
let properties = await page?.properties()
let url = properties?.url
log(url?.absoluteString ?? "No URL")
}
}
class SafariExtensionViewController: SFSafariExtensionViewController {
static let shared = SafariExtensionViewController()
}
class SafariExtensionHandler: SFSafariExtensionHandler {
override func validateToolbarItem(in window: SFSafariWindow, validationHandler: @escaping ((Bool, String) -> Void)) {
Task {
await printOpenTabsHost(in: window)
}
validationHandler(true, "")
}
override func popoverViewController() -> SFSafariExtensionViewController {
return SafariExtensionViewController.shared
}
}
Could you please tell if i'm missing something and how to see the actual tabs inside the overridden validateToolbarItem call of the SafariExtensionHandler (or in any other way, I'm okay with any implementation as long as it works).

Hello,
I’m working on a cross-origin WebAuthn implementation where a parent page embeds an iframe from a different origin to perform authentication. According to the WebAuthn Level 3 spec (Section 7.1.1), when crossOrigin is true, the clientDataJSON may include topOrigin—but Safari does not seem to populate this field.
Observed Behavior:
Chrome/Firefox: Include topOrigin in clientDataJSON when crossOrigin: true.
Safari (macOS/iOS): Omits topOrigin even though crossOrigin is correctly set to true.
Example clientDataJSON from Safari:
{
"type": "webauthn.get",
"challenge": "...",
"origin": "https://iframe-origin.example.com",
"crossOrigin": true
// Missing `topOrigin` (expected: parent origin)
}
Questions:
Is this an intentional omission in Safari for privacy/security reasons?
Are there specific requirements (e.g., HTTP headers, permissions policies) needed for Safari to expose topOrigin?
Is there a known workaround to reliably obtain the top-level origin in cross-origin WebAuthn flows?
System Info:
Version 18.4 (20621.1.15.11.10)
OS: Sequoia Version 18.4 (20621.1.15.11.10)
Reproduction Steps:
Parent page (https://parent.example.com) embeds an iframe (https://webauthn-rp.example.com).
The iframe calls navigator.credentials.get() with a WebAuthn challenge.
Safari returns clientDataJSON with crossOrigin: true but no topOrigin.
Code Snippet (iframe):
const credential = await navigator.credentials.get({
publicKey: {
challenge: new Uint8Array(/* ... */),
rpId: 'webauthn-rp.example.com',
allowCredentials: [],
hints: [],
userVerification: "preferred",
}
});
console.log(JSON.parse(atob(credential.response.clientDataJSON)));
Has anyone encountered this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Since the transition to iOS 18.4, we have been having an issue where when loading an m3u8 file specified in the src attribute of a video tag in WKWebView, the ts file is loaded repeatedly.
Are there any good ideas for this?
Also, if there have been any changes to the specifications of WKWebView, we would appreciate it if you could let us know.
It seems that in iOS 18.5+ built with Xcode 16.4+, there has been a breaking change since 18.4 with 16.3 within WebKit and how the navigationAction.sourceFrame property is initialized when implementing the decidePolicy delegate method.
The flow goes:
Implement a WKNavigationActionDelegate with decidePolicy
Call WKWebView.loadHTMLString("some-string", baseURL: nil)
Upon loading the HTML content, read the value of navigationAction.sourceFrame within the decidePolicy method of the WKNavigationActionDelegate
On iOS 18.4 (and below) with Xcode 16.3 (and below);
navigationAction.sourceFrame is <uninitialized>
On iOS 18.5+ with Xcode 16.4+:
navigationAction.sourceFrame is already initialized and is equal to navigationAction.targetFrame
It appears that this change was made between minor versions of Xcode and is unexpected behavior of a minor version. Not only was this not called out in the release notes for Xcode 16.4 and iOS 18.5, but it's technically also a breaking change to the WebKit API.
Can we get insight on why this change was made and what Apple's policy is on breaking changes between minor versions of Xcode/iOS?
When i use adjust redirect:
https://app.adjust.com/xxxxxx?label=xxxxxx&redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.testingmcafeesites.com%2Ftestcat_bu.html
It open 2 links:
https://Fwww.testingmcafeesites.com
then http://www.testingmcafeesites.com/testcat_bu.html
And in my app use redirect link for open a web page. But content in domain url like https://www.testingmcafeesites.com/ not be set. So it talke long time often 1 minute for finish request in first link.
It hapen only in ios 18 i tested in ios 17 and ios 16 it open one link only.
In the Safari browser on mobile devices, the tags in an HTML element are styled with the system's default styles. I want the text inside the tags to be displayed without line breaks. However, in reality, the text wraps according to its length. May I ask if there are any methods to achieve this?
(ps: CSS-related properties such as white-space: nowrap do not work.)
Dear Apple Developer Support,
We are currently developing a system that requires the ability to edit Japanese vertical text within the Safari browser on iPhone. During our investigation, we encountered an issue that matches the following WebKit bug:
283620 – Caret Positioning Issues in Vertical Writing Mode
We understand that this issue is being addressed in the following pull request:
https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/39939
However, it appears that a complete fix has not yet been implemented.
Given this situation, we would like to confirm the following:
Is there any known workaround for this issue in iOS 17.5 or iOS 18.5 (the latest versions as of now)?
If a workaround exists, could you please provide details?
If not, could you share the expected timeline for a full resolution of this issue?
Although this appears to be an open-source WebKit issue, we are reaching out to Apple because WebKit is tightly integrated with iOS and Safari, and ultimately delivered as part of the iPhone experience.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards,
Takao Kurabayashi
