Hello,
I followed the instructions to set up a custom logo for our domain name Allogarage.fr, both for the brand and the domain. Everything appears to be correctly configured in Apple Business backend for several weeks now, but the logo still doesn’t show up in Mail.
Is the branded email feature available in France? Are there any additional steps required?

Hi all,
Question:
Can Apple confirm that, on macOS 15 without MDM/supervision, there is no supported API, entitlement, auth right, or config file that can enable a Safari App Extension without some form of user interaction?
Environment
• OS / Safari: macOS 15.0.1 (Sequoia), Safari 18.x
• Distribution: Signed, notarized, stapled PKG installs a host app that contains a Safari App Extension
• Management: No MDM allowed (and thus no supervision)
• Goal: Have the extension come up enabled immediately after install, without requiring the user to click the checkbox in Safari Settings ▸ Extensions
What we already know / tried
Normal install flow – After PKG install, the extension shows up disabled. User must check the box to enable.
SFSafariApplication.showPreferencesForExtension(...) – We can deep‑link the user to our row, but they still need to click “Enable.”
Accessibility/UI scripting – We can script the click if the user grants our helper Accessibility permission. That still involves user interaction.
.mobileconfig with Safari Extensions Management (AlwaysOn) – From what I can tell, this requires a supervised device enrolled in MDM. Installing that profile manually on an unsupervised Mac does not enforce the “AlwaysOn” state.
Auth rights / Developer mode – Looked at auth.db rights like com.apple.Safari.allow-unsigned-app-extensions, and the Develop menu “Allow Unsigned Extensions.” Neither appears to auto‑enable a signed extension, and we don’t want to use private/unsupported APIs anyway.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

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 in wkwebview for authentication purpose?
I am encountering an intermittent issue with WKWebView in my iOS app. The problem occurs infrequently, but when it does, the WKWebView consistently displays a white screen and remains in this state until the app is forcefully terminated and relaunched.
To provide more context, here are the key characteristics of the issue:
The white screen problem occurs sporadically and is not easily reproducible.
The WKWebView remains unresponsive despite attempts to interact with it.
Reloading the webpage or navigating to a different URL does not resolve the white screen issue.
The problem persists until the app is terminated and relaunched.
This issue is specific to the WKWebView; other components of the app function correctly.
The WKWebView renders normally, and the main document synchronously loads resources both offline and online without any issues. The bridge and JavaScript execution also work as expected.
However, when interacting with the WKWebView, it becomes unresponsive to user clicks, and the web inspector fails to respond. Additionally, asynchronous network requests also do not receive any response.
The problem occurs exclusively on HTTPS pages, whereas HTTP pages load without any issues. Other components, such as workers, function correctly.
addUserScript injection during WKWebView creation is effective, and evaluateJavaScript during the page loading process works as expected. However, when the document becomes unresponsive, executing evaluateJavaScript only triggers the callback after the WKWebView is destroyed.
I have discovered a reliable method to reproduce the white screen issue in WKWebView. This method involves the following steps and conditions:
Create a WKWebView instance.
Load an HTML page using the loadRequest method(https url request).
Before the WKWebView is attached to the UI (not yet visible to the user), call the evaluateJavaScript function.
This issue has occurred in almost all iOS versions, including the latest iOS 17.x version.
We are encountering a download issue in Safari 18.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.2 where file downloads initiated by our AngularJS application (such as Excel exports) are silently blocked.
There are no errors in the browser console, and the download does not occur.
Interestingly, after testing on Safari 18.3 with Sequoia 15.3, the downloads worked as expected.
However, the problem reappeared on Safari 18.4 with Sequoia 15.4.
We suspect that recent changes in Safari’s security or download handling may be preventing downloads triggered via asynchronous JavaScript (e.g., AJAX calls) that are not initiated directly by user interaction.
We would appreciate any insights, suggestions, or possible workarounds from the community. Looking forward to your guidance on this matter.
We would appreciate it if you could provide the detailed flow of recurring payments and the unsubscribe process using the Apple Pay JS API, specifically in cases where the PSP decrypts the Apple Pay token before sending it to the payment gateway.
Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
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

Dear Apple Developer Support Team,
I am writing regarding critical issues we are facing with Safari web push notifications in our application iLiveMyLife.io, which is severely impacting our ability to maintain reliable communication with our users.
Issue Description:
We are experiencing persistent problems with Safari push notification tokens expiring or becoming invalid without any notification to our server. This creates several critical issues:
Users stop receiving notifications without any indication of failure
Our notification delivery system has no way to detect token expiration
The expiration appears to happen frequently (seemingly almost daily in some cases)
There is no reliable mechanism to re-establish push communication without users manually revisiting the app
Technical Impact:
Our messaging functionality becomes completely unreliable
We must resort to email or SMS as fallback mechanisms, which is not feasible for a real-time communication platform
This makes building any reliable messaging application on Safari practically impossible
The Broader Context:
What makes this situation particularly challenging is that all potential alternative browser APIs that could help address this issue appear to be deliberately disabled or restricted in Safari:
Background Service Workers don't function in the background on iOS Safari
Background Sync API is not supported
WebSockets cannot operate when the app is closed
There's no way to programmatically check the validity of push tokens
The combination of these limitations creates a situation where developers have no viable technical path to build reliable notification systems for PWAs on Safari. This appears to be a systematic restriction rather than individual API limitations.
Requested Information:
Is there a recommended approach to detect Safari push token expiration?
Are there alternative notification mechanisms for PWA applications on Safari that offer more reliability?
Is there documentation on the lifecycle of Safari push tokens that could help us implement proper handling?
Are there plans to improve the Web Push API implementation in Safari to address these reliability issues?
Could you clarify if these limitations are intentional design decisions or technical constraints that might be addressed in future updates?
Business Impact:
This issue fundamentally undermines our platform's core functionality. For a collaborative tool, reliable notifications are essential - users cannot collaborate effectively if they miss updates because their push tokens silently expired. The current state creates confusion among our users, who don't understand why they suddenly stop receiving notifications.
Any guidance or assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. We're committed to providing an excellent experience on Safari, but the current push notification limitations make this extremely challenging.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Ilya
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!
Hi,
I’m trying to detect whether my Safari Web Extension is running in Safari or Safari Technology Preview. Is there a reliable way to do that?
I can get the executable path of the parent process using proc_pidpath(). However, unlike Chrome or Firefox, Safari extensions run under /sbin/launchd as the parent process, not the responsible process (browser’s binary). In this scenario, I need the executable path of the actual browser process, but I haven’t found a way to get it.
Also, Safari doesn’t implement the Web Extension API’s browser.runtime.getBrowserInfo(), unlike Firefox.
I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m considering checking the user agent string, though I’m not sure how reliable that would be.
Use Case
Some users use my Safari extension as a web development tool and want to enable some features exclusively in Safari Technology Preview, while using other features only in standard Safari. If I could detect which browser is in use, I could provide the appropriate functionality for them.

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
iOS 26 (from beta 1 to beta 2)
We have a VPN app that installs a per-app VPN profile with SafariDomains to filter Safari network traffic. This setup works as expected on iOS versions lower than 26.0.
See here more details on SafariDomains: https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf
On iOS 26, all SafariDomains configured to go through the per-app VPN result in the following error: "Safari can’t open the page. The error was: Unknown Error"
Additional Details: Only SafariDomains encounter this error. Other managed apps traffic through the per-app VPN works correctly.
Steps to Reproduce:
Install the VPN app with a per-app VPN profile.
Configure SafariDomains with any URL (e.g., example.com).
Open Safari and navigate to the configured URL.
Example Configuration:
We tested with a simple example by adding only one URL to SafariDomains (example.com). Logs from the console were captured at the moment Safari opened and encountered the error.
safari_google2.txt
Has anyone else encountered this issue on iOS 26? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I'm currently experimenting to add 3d stereo images in HEIC format to my daily Mars Rover Images website https://areo.info/mars20 which can be opened on a Vision Pro. Only a few images are yet converted into that mode, those on the sol 1411 page.
As I'm currently only working in the Vision Pro Simulator from Xcode, no real 3d effect if of course visible and I'm curious if anyone using the real hardware can confirm that the images are working.
Especially the eye distance correction is important to know about as the Mars Rover camera has a much wider pupil distance than humans and while I entered that distance in the conversion tool, I'm not sure if it worked well. So feedback is welcome!
For those who like to try to create stereo images themselves: I used https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ImageIO/writing-spatial-photos to create a HEIC file from two JPEGs.
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.

Anybody succeeded sending a Web Push Message using the new Declarative approach introduced with Safari Version 18.4 (20621.1.14.11.3)?
I will help as well if someone can point me to a solution debugging the entire system using Xcode and Minibrowser? Currently I can't get the MiniBrowser connected to the WebPush Daemon.
I am trying to cache fonts natively in a hybrid app, so that CSS hosted in an https website loaded in WKWebView through loadRequest can reference them like this for a performance boost:
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyFont';
src: url('my-assets://Gordita-bold-subset.woff') format('woff');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal; }
The problem happens when I register a WKURLSchemeHandler for my-assets.
The handler never gets called and the Safari Web Insepctor shows this:
[blocked] The page at https://www.x.com/ requested insecure content from my-assets://Gordita-bold-subset.woff. This content was blocked and must be served over HTTPS.
Interestingly enough, if we try to serve content with <img src="my-assets://test.png" this restriction does not apply.
Are there any workarounds other than using the private API WKProcessPool._registerURLSchemeAsSecure?
