Based on the "Build immersive web experiences with WebXR"-Video for visionOS there is no way to disable the consent prompts for entering an immersive experience or consent hand-tracking. For the microphone it's possible to "greenlight" specific websites for mic input, which works great.
I'd welcome it, if it were possible to add specific websites in the settings, in which those consent dialogs aren't shown each time.
In my opinion, the user interaction through a button that launches the experience would be sufficient to not disorient.

While implementing Apple Maps into our web application, I have a scenario where I want to be able to drag and move some of my custom annotations around. While that is working, when "picking up" the annotation before dragging it, there is an animation which I believe is to represent the human interaction of picking up a pin from a map, I would like to cancel that animation and thought that would be possible by calling preventDefault() in the emitted long-press event, which the documentation states that annotations should emit if they are draggable. The thing is that I don't get this event to emit when long pressing an annotation. So I believe that I have found a bug.
It's in this paragraph in the documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/handling-map-events#Respond-to-map-interaction-events
A long press occurs on the map outside an annotation. A long press may be the beginning of a panning or pinching gesture on the map. You can prevent the gesture from starting by calling the preventDefault() method of the event. Annotations need to be draggable to dispatch long-press events.
In anybody else experiencing this or do you see any clear fix for this? Maybe there is another way to cancel that "picking up the annotation for dragging" animation. I have seemed to try anything else.
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
When we embed some of the youtube videos are unable to load in the Mobile app but at the same time it works in Website. I need to allow it in both places.
I have tried both embed and native sdk for youtube in iOS.
Title: Content Overlapping Address Bar After Clicking Links in Safari, tested on iPhone 11 (iOS 18.1.1)
Description:
When browsing in Safari on iPhone (iOS 18.1.1), the one-tab bar (address bar) collapses as expected when scrolling down a page. However, after clicking on a link and loading the next page, the content appears to overlap the collapsed address bar. This results in parts of the content being hidden or obscured by the address bar, which affects the user experience, especially on mobile devices with limited screen space. This issue is reproducible on Next.js applications and can be observed on websites such as rotterdam.nl and halderberge.nl.
Steps to Reproduce:
Enable the One-Tab Bar: Go to Settings > Safari and enable the one-tab bar feature.
Open the website rotterdam.nl or halderberge.nl in Safari on an iPhone 11 (iOS 18.1.1).
Scroll down the page so that the top address bar collapses.
Click on any link on the page to load a new one.
Once the new page loads, observe that the content appears on top of the collapsed address bar, causing parts of the content to be hidden or obscured.
Expected Result:
The content should not overlap or be hidden behind the collapsed address bar after the page reloads. The layout should adjust properly without interference from the address bar, providing a smooth user experience.
Actual Result:
When the new page loads, the content overlaps or appears on top of the collapsed address bar, causing parts of the content to be hidden or obscured.
Device(s) Affected:
iPhone 11 running iOS 18.1.1.
OS Version:
iOS 18.1.1
Technical Notes:
To address this issue, the following solutions have been attempted with no success:
Viewport Meta Tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover" />
This was added to help ensure proper layout on mobile devices, but did not resolve the issue.
CSS Safe Area Insets:
body {
padding-top: env(safe-area-inset-top);
}
This CSS rule was applied to account for the safe area and prevent content from being hidden under the address bar, but it did not solve the overlapping issue.
Scroll Position Adjustment (for scroll-to-top button):
Adjusting the scroll behavior by changing the scroll position to {top: 1} instead of {top: 0} was a successful workaround to keep the address bar collapsed when clicking the "scroll to top" button. However, this did not resolve the issue when navigating between pages or changing routes, where the content still overlaps the collapsed address bar.
I would like to know if there is a way to disable Smart Punctuation from the webpage rather than requiring the user to do so from the settings. Adding a "inputmode=verbatim" attribute to the input HTML tags for my webpage did that for all the web browsers I tested on Windows, Ubuntu, Android, and MacOS. I tested Chrome and Firefox on all platforms, as well as Edge on Windows and Safari on Mac and iOS. So far the only time it did not disable Smart Punctuation was on Safari on iOS, but it did on MacOS.
I’m encountering an issue with CSS not displaying when using WKURLSchemeHandler to load local HTML files.
When I package the app using Xcode 15.3 or above, the CSS styles do not display on iOS 17 or higher. However, on iOS 16.7.1, the CSS displays correctly.
• If I use Xcode 15.2 to package the app, the CSS loads and displays correctly on all iOS versions.
I am using WKURLSchemeHandler to intercept and load the local HTML files. Is there any known issue or workaround for this?
You can now post this in the “Safari & Web” section of the Apple Developer forums for further assistance!

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?

Problem
Safari requires tabindex="0" for keyboard access to scrollable containers. Chrome (v130+) and Firefox (v4+) handle this automatically.
Current Behavior
Chrome/Firefox: Scrollable div with overflow: auto → automatically keyboard-accessible (Tab to focus, Arrow keys to scroll)
Safari: Same element → NOT keyboard-accessible unless:
Add tabindex="0", OR
Container has focusable children
Workaround
<div style="overflow-y: auto; height: 300px;" tabindex="0">
<!-- content -->
</div>
Issue: Adds unnecessary tab stops on Chrome/Firefox where not needed.
Request
Will Safari support auto-focus for scrollable containers? (matching Chrome/Firefox)
If not planned: Any official Apple guide for cross-browser scrollable accessibility?
Timeline? If on roadmap, estimated Safari version? Can I subscribe for updates?
Use Cases
Dropdown menus
Modal dialogs
Tab panels
Data tables
Chat interfaces

Hello Community,
My application was rejected by Apple App Review, citing Guideline 4.7 and "non-embedded," which I believe is incorrect. All transactions are signed and sent directly through the app with explicit user permission. Additionally, there's an issue with min apps where users can access the functionality via a browser to interact with the service. This feature has been part of my old application and hasn't changed in the new update. It’s the same functionality as used by popular wallets like
Metamask
Uniswap
Coinbase
Which also employ web3 technology.
Over the past two weeks, I've tried to communicate with Apple's support team but have been ignored or received only generic rejection emails. This has left me frustrated and concerned about the time and resources I’ve invested in developing and supporting this app.
Could you please help me find a solution? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!
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?

How can i add Authorization header to a wkwebview. I checked https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurlrequest#1776617 which says Authorization header is a reserved http header and shouldn’t be set. I want to set it when requesting a url to the server which will be used for verification. How can i do that?
We attempted to perform automated testing (using Python) on an 11th generation iPad (iPad A16) using Selenium 4.38.0, but we were unable to capture webpage screenshots using the function "driver.save_screenshot(filename)". However, this issue did not occur on an iPad Air 4. During our debugging of the "WebDriver.py" script, we found that after issuing the screenshot command, a status value of 500 was returned, accompanied by an "unknown error".
We have communicated with the Selenium team and provided the main Python code(https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/16555). They suggested that the problem likely lies within the SafariWebDriver, rather than in the "remote_webdriver.py" file.
Additionally, we tried using the SafariWebDriver provided by Safari Technology Preview, but the problem persisted.
We’re seeing an issue in our Safari Web Extension where not all cookies from the Set-Cookie response header are accessible. We are using macOS 15.4 and Safari 18.4.
In the webRequest.onHeadersReceived callback, the Set-Cookie header returned by Safari only includes some of the cookies set by the server. If multiple Set-Cookie headers are present, we seem to receive only a partial list, some cookies are missing entirely.
In Chrome and Firefox, the same callback provides all cookies set by the server without issue.
We are looking for assistance in fixing these issues and having our Safari Extension function the same as it does in Firefox and Chrome.

After upgrade to ios 26,
if WKWebView load url which did not contain "#" will always ok.
but load url contain “#” will cancel when start load, then result in white screen
I'm running apache with following configuration.
/cc require TLS client certificate
/ not require TLS client certificate
Starting with ios 18.4, accessing /cc after / fails with following error:
AH02261: Re-negotiation handshake failed, referer: https://www.example.com/...
SSL Library Error: error:1417C0C7:SSL routines:tls_process_client_certificate:peer did not return a certificate -- No CAs known to server for verification?
It seems like ios 18.4 does not support TLS re-negotiation.
(It worked with ios 18.3 and before)
Is this an expected behavior or a bug?

This is a really strange issue on iOS Safari. Under certain conditions a basic input element will not be focusable or show the on screen keyboard. I can reproduce the issue with a very simple HTML file by dynamically adding an anchor element with an href during a touch event. If you add a different element or an anchor without an href, there is no issue. Similarly, if you apply the same listener to a click event there is no issue.
Reproducible in iOS Simulator 17.2 and 18.1
This HTML/JS showcases the problem:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>InputIssue</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="parent">
<input type="text" name="test" />
<div id="child"></div>
</div>
<script>
document.addEventListener("touchstart", () => {
const child = document.getElementById("child");
if (!child) return;
while (child.firstChild) {
child.removeChild(child.firstChild);
}
const link = document.createElement("a");
link.href = "https://test.com";
link.textContent = "test";
child.appendChild(link);
});

Actually this is a duplicate for https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/106537 but in web-specific forums section.
Is there any video/audio codec best practices, guides, recommendations for app/web developers for best performance (take advantage from HW acceleration), power consumption saving? What are officially supported media containers? What are video encoding profiles, video dimensions, frame rates?
The only official source I have found is https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/delivering-video-content-for-safari?language=objc. But h264 is pretty old. I experimentally found that the VP9 video format is also supported on iOS newer versions. But is this a requirement? Сan i be sure that the video will play on all devices?
My goal is to provide web media content (which will be rendered in my application using WKWebView API) that will be supported by most devices (both iOS and MacOS), takes advantage of such features as hardware decode acceleration and be efficient.
Any hints/info is highly appreciated. Best regards.
MacOS: 12 ( Monterrey )
Safari: 17.6
Demo Site: https://applepaydemo.apple.com/
At the bottom where the Apple Pay button should appear, I see a warning something like "This browser doesn't support Apple Pay, please use safari" along with a link to requirements for apple pay.
All the requirements are fulfilled, OS and Safari's version are above the minimum required.
Link was opened in Safari.
And the other thing is if I open the same site in Chrome, I can see the apple pay button and when I click on it a QR appears which is the expected behaviour.
How to resolve this?
