Hello everyone.
I have a very strange behavior with smart app banners in Safari.
When I don't have installed app on my phone, I can't see the banner on our product main page. When I installed the app, I can see the banner, which allows me to go directly to the app. When I put any other app's ID in the meta tag it works perfectly even if I don't have its installed app.
So the code is right, what can be the reason of this behavior? Any settings of the app are required?

Hi,
I’m working on a Safari extension for macOS, and I’d like the app to use specific system notification settings right after installation. I’m wondering if there’s a way in Swift to programmatically configure the default notification preferences (as seen in System Settings > Notifications > [my app]).
Here are the desired settings:
Only Desktop – without “Notification Center” or “Lock Screen”
Alert Style: Temporary
Badge App Icon: Enabled
Play Sound for Notifications: Disabled
Show Previews: When Unlocked
Notification Grouping: Off (I don’t want them to accumulate in Notification Center)
Here is the code I’m currently using to display a basic notification:
private func handleNotificationRequest(_ message: [String: Any]) {
guard let title = message["title"] as? String,
let body = message["body"] as? String else {
return
}
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .badge, .sound]) { granted, error in
if granted {
self.showNotification(title: title, body: body)
}
}
}
private func showNotification(title: String, body: String) {
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = title
content.body = body
content.sound = nil // No sound for subtle notification
// Create notification that doesn't persist in notification center
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 0.1, repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "fast-url-copy-notification", content: content, trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request) { error in
if let error = error {
os_log(.error, "Failed to show notification: %@", error.localizedDescription)
}
}
}
OS: macOS 26.0
Thanks in advance,
Mateusz

I have multiple web views of the same domain that share the same local storage, as expected.
One of them though, is loading a .webarchive file.
The web archive is of the same domain, and is loaded using the same base URL.
For some reason, in most cases, the local storage is not shared with this web view when loading the web archive, although if I make that same web view load the actual live web page it does share local storage.
I say in most cases, because for some users it works as expected, but for a significant portion of users it isn't sharing local storage.
I think that the main difference between working and not is iOS version. iOS 17 seems to be able to share the local storage but iOS 18 does not. I can't find anything related in the release notes of iOS 18 versions.
There is nothing in the documentation for load(_:mimeType:characterEncodingName:baseURL:), or the header file, that explains anything specific about local storage and webarchive loading.
Does anyone know for sure how local storage is handled when a webarchive is loaded into a web view, and did something change with iOS 18 in regards to this?
I have a website that has been built in Wordpress and hosted on wordpress engine. In testing now and on the i phone with safari browser it keeps crashing after short time 2/3 minutes, content does not display properly pages go blank etc. Has anyone experienced this /have a solution? Thanks
I am new to PHP. I have developed my own web site with a lot of javascript in simple HTML files. I want to do some extensions with PHP but I can't make a simple web page function. I am sure something simple is wrong. Help!
Here is the test web page I made: hello.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo 'Hello World!'; ?>
</body>
</html>
Pointing Safari at hello.html gives me a new tab with the correct title, but no "Hello World" in the page itself.
Here is the output of php --version:

"The Referer header allows a server to identify referring pages that people are visiting from or where requested resources are being used. "
This header is never forwarded to server when the user is browsing the website in a WebView. This is properly maintained by other browsers but not in-app.
How do I include it?

I have compiled some Java code to WebAssembly via TeaVM and wrapped it in a PWA. The resulting code runs nicely in Firefox and Chrome but throws an exception in Safari.
CompileError: WebAssembly.Module doesn't parse at byte 1657: invalid extended GC op 24, in function at index 2251
Can anybody tell me what's wrong with that code? I mean it can't be so bad if Firefox and Chrome can parse and run it without problems. I am using the most recent versions of all browsers and the offending code can be found here:
Run the demo via: https://mpmediasoft.de/demos/Emmentaler/Emmentaler-Demo-TeaVM-Wasm/index.html
The offending wasm file is: https://mpmediasoft.de/demos/Emmentaler/Emmentaler-Demo-TeaVM-Wasm/tvw/ModelBridgeTeaVM.wasm
With Safari the demo just shows some empty space instead of a complex polygon. You can see the error in the javascript console of Safari.

Hi all,
I'm developing an application that uses WKWebView to display a web application which I augment with iOS native utilities such as Speech to Text and IAP. The application also uses Service workers, so we define AppBound Domains in the info.plist file.
Everything works for this, but when we deploy on a device the application will crash and say we need these entitlements
com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking,
com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering,
com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent,
com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit
From what I can see, we do need all of them. However Apple suggest submitting a request to be an Altnerative Browser (https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engines)
This is not appropriate for the application in my view since one requirement of being an alternative browser is that you don't modify the resources on the web site - we of course do since we inject javascript in order to bridge between iOS and the contents of the webview.
How are people navigating this issue? I assumed it would be common given the use of Tauri etc. to build similar types of applications, but I don't see much about it.
Thank you!
After updating to iOS 18.4, our web application (with service workers) crashes on devices that accessed it prior to the update. This issue also affects hybrid mobile apps using the same web application; reinstalling the app resolves it by refetching and reinstalling service workers. Debugging is challenging because clearing the cache or reinstalling the app fixes the problem, and no useful error logs are available. Has anyone encountered similar crashes related to service workers after an iOS update and have any insights into the cause?
I am testing stuff on a website, and it worked well on any mobile browser till iOS18.
Now that I am testing iOS26, even with the latest BETA (3)
everything works smoothly on any other mobile browser but Safari.
Previously I had the bug, which now has been patched, for status-bar, which was flickering too, but popover and page issue seems still there.
I have persistent popover and ajax navigation, and both are rendering with bugs and fouc while view/page changes.
Example: If I have an element which must stay on its place and its width is 100vw: while page changes it blinks, shrinks, flicker and jumps on rendering, while it simply must stay as is..
Animations and page transitions work smoothly on Chrome mobile (latest iOS 26 beta 3) , while breaking on Safari.
I did open a feedback FB18328720, but seems no one caring.
Any idea guys?

我使用Apple Pay on the Web Interactive Demo构建了一个web应用使用的是Payment Request API方式，但是遇到了几个问题：
拉起的web Apple Pay 底部一直转圈圈无法付款，这个是什么问题？
如何设置sandbox测试付款呢？
如何异步、同步获取支付结果（后端代码获取支付结果）？demo只有await response.complete("success");前端代码获取支付结果的操作
demo网址: https://shop.wowseer.com/rsolomakhin/pr/applepay/
I'm not sure if this is even the right place to ask this, or voice this complaint if there's no fix. If not, please direct me where to go.
I'm trying to switch all my development over to Safari, but the tab sidebar is driving me absolutely insane.
Let's say I have a bunch of tab groups expanded, and I collapse the sidebar to focus on the webapp I am building. When I toggle to show the sidebar again, every single tab group is collapsed.
Why is it 2 clicks to see the tabs in the sidebar?
Even with zero tab groups, and just tabs in the workspace, if you collapse the sidebar it'll collapse the list of tabs.
Is there some hidden setting for this? Who do we have to complain to?

So I have web Augmented Reality apps hosted on AWS S3. It worked fine for a month, but as soon as the IOS 18.4 update was installed they stopped working. It works on every other device and IOS versions.
The URLs for the mentioned AR experiences:
digitechonline.in/solsprefimaginewt8/
digitechonline.in/solsprefimaginewt8p2/
digitechonline.in/orocarear/
These AR experiences get stuck on the loading screen and either reload or give an error. Ideally the camera is supposed to open.
I have tested it on Safari, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers.
They were created through Unity webgl and hosted on AWS S3 bucket. Please provide a quick solution to this.
Issue Description
I'm developing a hybrid iOS app and encountering WebView bridge communication issues after updating to Xcode 16 with iOS 18 SDK.
App Architecture
AViewController: Initial view controller displayed at app launch
Handles WebView setup and web-to-native bridge communication
Pushes BViewController when receiving "B" bridge message from web
BViewController: View controller stacked on top of AViewController
Managed by navigation controller
AViewController's WebView continues bridge communication even when BViewController is active
Problem Behavior
Xcode 15 (iOS 18): WebView bridge communication in AViewController works normally while BViewController is active
Xcode 16 (iOS 18 SDK): Server communication breaks or hangs without response while BViewController is active
Communication resumes only after popping back to AViewController from BViewController
Questions
Is the current architecture (configuring WebView in AViewController and maintaining bridge communication through AViewController's WebView while BViewController is presented) not a recommended pattern?
Is Xcode 16's iOS 18 SDK the cause of this issue? If so, could you help me understand which specific changes are affecting this behavior?
This is urgent as we need to deploy soon. I would greatly appreciate a prompt response.
Hi everyone,
I’m working on a web project developed on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), where we’ve built a custom component that embeds Apple Podcasts episodes using the official iframe provided via https://embed.podcasts.apple.com.
Everything works correctly from a rendering point of view, but we are now exploring ways to track user interactions with the embedded player, specifically events such as: start, play, pause,
progress milestones (e.g. 25%, 50%, etc.).
This data would be used to send analytics events to Adobe Analytics.
So far, we haven’t found any documentation or JavaScript API that would allow us to listen to these events.
We'd like to ask:
Is there any official way to track playback events from an Apple Podcasts iframe?
Any information, clarification, or direction would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
Adriana

Does webkit have a way to display a smart banner for a home screen web app similar to how a smart banner can be displayed for native apps?
I recently noticed (10/23) that Twitter showed a smart banner encouraging Home Screen web app on my Mac running Sonoma.
How is this done?

Hey everyone,
After installing iOS 26 beta, I started noticing unexpected behavior in our input event handlers.
Specifically, when users type into an field, event.target.value is always an empty string — but only when the JS file is loaded from a specific domain (e.g., t1.daumcdn.net). The exact same code works perfectly when hosted on other domains like t2.daumcdn.net or search1.daumcdn.net.
👉 I created a demo here:
🔗 CodePen Demo
The scripts loaded from each domain are 100% identical (apart from the top-level selector). Before iOS 26 beta, this worked fine.
I suspect this is related to ITP or some new cross-origin behavior in Safari, but I’d love to know if anyone else is running into this — or if someone knows a workaround.
Thanks!
