Hi,
I'm developing an extension and I need to debug console logs that are logged in the Service Worker. The worker is configured in the manifest and is generally working as expected:
However, when I open the browser, go to any site, and open Develop -> Service Workers or Develop -> Web Extension Background Content it is not visible there, so I can't really access the logs:
But then I noticed that if I go out of focus from the browser for some time (and probably let the SW die), it becomes visible and I can open it without an issue:
So, a couple of questions:
Why isn't it instantly accessible? The extension Service Worker dev tools should be accessible regardless of what is happening to the tab or the browser, even if the SW terminates.
Why does it eventually appear under Web Extension Background Content instead of the Service Workers when it is in fact an SW?

"The Safari web extension packager enables you to package and distribute your Safari extensions using App Store Connect from any web browser, without requiring a Mac or access to Xcode."
I upload the unzipped folder I'd test in Chrome://extensions to the Safari web extension packager in App store connect.
I get error:
Embedded binary's bundle identifier is not prefixed with the parent app's bundle identifier.
The only solution i've seen to this error involves xcode/a mac, being without which doesn't help
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has experience with Smart Banners for an application not released on the app store, but still in TestFlight, specifically an AppClip.
I am working on an exisiting project where a Smart Clip is used with a smart banner on the website for core functionality. Previously, even in test environment (app is in test flight and not app store) the smart banner would correctly show on the website and allow testers to launch the app clip experience, however this no longer seems to work.
Its noted the test environment was last tested and deployed 2 years ago, and was working correctly, and there have been no changes to the website (the meta tag and .aasa file are all setup correctly). The only recent change was upgrading the app to support the latest iOS version, however beyond that no functionality in the app has changed.
Apple developer support hasn't been very helpful, and reviewed our account and stated "everything appears to be running as expected on our end"
Has something changed in Safari in that it no longer accepts test flight app smart banners, and if it doesn't, does anyone have any other suggestions?
Cheers
I’m experiencing an issue in WKWebView on iOS 26 Developer Beta 8. If a view's subview contains a WKWebView, using the CALayer's renderInContext method fails to capture the pixel at the current point, and the console outputs "unsupported surface format: &b38".
The following code snippet was functioning as expected on iOS 18 and iOS 26 beta 1. However, it no longer works in the latest beta.
Is this a known bug in the current iOS 26 betas, or is there a recommended workaround?
- (BOOL)isTransparentAtTouchPoint:(CGPoint)point layer:(CALayer *)layer {
unsigned char pixel[4] = {0};
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(pixel, 1, 1, 8, 4, colorSpace, (CGBitmapInfo) kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast);
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, -point.x, -point.y);
[layer renderInContext:context];
CGContextRelease(context);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
CGFloat alpha = pixel[3] / 255.0f;
return alpha < 0.01;
}
When I open the browser in Safari on iOS 26, I want to specify the background color for the header notch (where the time, battery, etc. are displayed) and the footer indicator area.
Specifying the theme color in HTML as shown below did not change anything.
<meta name="theme-color" content="#ff0000">
<meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" content="#ff0000">
<meta name="theme-color" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" content="#ff0000">
The HTML below specifies the background color as green, but is it necessary to specify the background color directly in the body like this?
Or is there some kind of metadata, like theme color?
<!doctype html>
<html lang="ja">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />

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 are encountering an issue where the Safari extension we are developing stops working while in use on relatively new iOS versions (confirmed on 17.5.1, 17.6.1, and 18). Upon checking the Safari console, the content script is displayed in the extension script, so the background script or Service Worker must be stopping. The time until it stops is about 1 minute on 17.5.1 and about one day on 17.6.1 or 18.
When it stops, we would like to find a way to restart the Service Worker from the extension side, but we have not found a method to do so yet. To restart the extension, the user needs to turn off the corresponding extension in the iPhone settings and then turn it back on.
As mentioned in the following thread, it is written that the above bug was fixed in 17.6, but we recognize that it has not been fixed. https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/758346
On 17.5.1, adding the following process to the background script prevents it from stopping for about the same time as on 17.6 and above.
// Will be passed into runtime.onConnect for processes that are listening for the connection event
const INTERNAL_STAYALIVE_PORT = "port.connect";
// Try wake up every 9S
const INTERVAL_WAKE_UP = 9000;
// Alive port
var alivePort = null;
// Call the function at SW(service worker) start
StayAlive();
async function StayAlive() {
var wakeup = setInterval(() => {
if (alivePort == null) {
alivePort = browser.runtime.connect({ name: INTERNAL_STAYALIVE_PORT });
alivePort.onDisconnect.addListener((p) => {
alivePort = null;
});
}
if (alivePort) {
alivePort.postMessage({ content: "ping" });
}
}, INTERVAL_WAKE_UP);
}
Additionally, we considered methods to revive the Service Worker when it stops, which are listed below. None of the methods listed below resolved the issue.
①
Implemented a process to create a connection again if the return value of sendMessage is null. The determination of whether the Service Worker has stopped is made by sending a message from the content script to the background script and checking whether the message return value is null as follows.
sendMessageToBackground.js
let infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
if (!infoFromBackground) {
// If infoFromBackground is null, Service Worker should have stopped.
browser.runtime.connect({name: 'reconnect'}); // ← reconnection process
// Sending message again
infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
}
return infoFromBackground.message;
Background script
browser.runtime.onConnect.addListener((port) => {
if (port.name !== 'reconnect') return;
port.onMessage.addListener(async (request, sender, sendResponse) => {
sendResponse({
response: "response form background",
message: "reconnect.",
});
});
②
Verified whether the service worker could be restarted by regenerating Background.js and content.js.
sendMessageToBackground.js
export async function sendMessageToBackground(sendParam) {
let infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
if (!infoFromBackground) {
executeContentScript(); // ← executeScript
infoFromBackground = await browser.runtime.sendMessage(sendParam);
}
return infoFromBackground.message;
}
async function executeContentScript() {
browser.webNavigation.onDOMContentLoaded.addListener((details) => {
browser.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId: details.tabId },
files: ["./content.js"]
});
});
}
However, browser.webNavigation.onDOMContentLoaded.addListener was not executed due to the following error.
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58295
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58539
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58539
③
Verify that ServiceWorker restarts by updating ContentScripts
async function updateContentScripts() {
try {
const scripts = await browser.scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts();
const scriptIds = scripts.map(script => script.id);
await browser.scripting.updateContentScripts(scriptIds);//update content
} catch (e) {
await errorLogger(e.stack);
}
}
However, scripting.getRegisteredContentScripts was not executed due to the same error as in 2.
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58359
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58456
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58456
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58549
@webkit-masked-url://hidden/:2:58549
These are the methods we have considered. If anyone knows a solution, please let us know.
Hello,
In iOS 26 beta, we are seeing an unexpected behavior when using SwiftUI WebView (or a custom WKWebView via UIViewRepresentable).
When an alert is presented above the WebView, the WebView immediately reloads to its initial page. The alert itself also disappears instantly, making it impossible for the user to interact with it.
This issue occurs both with the new SwiftUI WebView / WebPage API and with a wrapped WKWebView. The problem was not present in previous iOS versions (iOS 17/18).
Steps to reproduce:
Create a SwiftUI view with a WebView (pointing to any URL).
Add a toolbar button that toggles a SwiftUI alert.
Run the app on iOS 26 beta.
Tap the button to trigger the alert.
Expected behavior:
The WebView should remain as-is, and the alert should stay visible until the user dismisses it.
Actual behavior:
As soon as the alert appears, the WebView reloads and resets to the initial page. The alert disappears immediately.
Minimal Example:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var showAlert = false
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
WebView(URL(string: "https://apple.com")!)
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) {
Button("Close") {
showAlert = true
}
}
}
.alert("Confirm close?", isPresented: $showAlert) {
Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {}
Button("Close", role: .destructive) {}
}
}
}
}
I'm using Xcode Version 26.0 beta 7
Thanks for your help.
I'm developing an application that needs smooth framerates within a wkwebview that interacts with native code. However, requestAnimationFrame by default is still throttled to 60hz even if all my target devices (the iPad Pro for example) have supported 120hz for a long time already. I noticed that the latest Safari in 18.3 beta supports unlocked framerates, but that's only under Safari feature flags. To my knowledge, these flags do not apply to WKWebView. Is there a way to enable unlocked framerate in WKWebView via requestAnimationFrame? (Calling JS at a faster rate from the native code side will not work, almost definitely, since WKWebView will still render at its own rate.)
This is an experimental application for internal use and I'm okay if there are temporary beta solutions available.
I have a Net8 Maui WebView app and whenever I use magnifier, it crashes.
The magnifier works on iOS18 and lower but crashes on iOS26+

Hi there
I've been having trouble finding any details around how safari is supposed to behave when a FairPlay license expires. My assumption was that the video segments would stop getting decrypted and playback would stop, however I just see that the playback continues like nothing has happened.
I've setup the "fps_safari_has_key_renewal.html" sample code from the Fairplay SDK and got encrypted playback working. The renewal method also appears to work. However, if I don't issue a renew call, or if I wait several minutes after the renew has succeeded the video never stops (my license is set with a 1 minute expiry so I can test this quickly).
I've also observed that the MediaKeySession expiration property is always set to NaN even though my license has an expiry. I've tried with both Lease and Rental expiries set in the license (separately AND at the same time in separate tests). I'm using EZDRM as my drm provider.
Just looking for some feedback on if this is supposed to work this way in safari or if license expiry isn't supported in safari.
Thanks!
Hello - we have a Mac application that uses a browser extension and the web extension JS APIs to communicate with Safari. During user testing we found that the tab title and tab URL properties are empty when obtaining the set of open windows via windows.get() after a Safari restart. We are testing with Safari 18.4 (20621.1.15.11.10). We have made a TestFlight version of our app and extension available to help with testing: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Va8Zdv9d. Screenshot and screen recording are attached to the Feedback ID supplied below.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install Tabby via the TestFlight link
Enable the Tabby for Safari extension in the Safari extensions dialog
Grant permissions for Tabby for Safari to all windows all the time
Within Safari, open two windows each with at least two tabs
Within the Tabby app, ensure you see the windows and tabs listed correctly (tab title displayed for each)
Quit and restart Safari
Expected behavior
Safari re-opens existing windows and Tabby displays title for each tab
Observed
Safari re-opens existing windows but within Tabby all tabs except the current tab are displayed with a title of “Start Page”. Under the hood the tab title and tab URL properties are empty when returned via a windows.get() call after Safari restarts.

Hey there.
I recently completed an Apple Pay (on the web) integration and it has been working fine, for the most part. I had one customer contact us saying that it didn't work on his devices though. I checked it out, and while it does normally work (and we've had over a thousand transactions use it) there does seem to be some scenarios where it fails and I'm not sure why.
I was able to replicate his issue (or at least an issue) by using BrowserStack. When I click the button which should initiate the payment, everything works in the JS code until it gets to the applePaySession.begin() function call. Once it hits that, it just stops. No errors are generated and no notice is given that anything is wrong until you try to do it a second time. Then an error about a payment session already being active on the page is thrown.
I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this since I know it works on my old iPad Air 2, my current M4 Macbook, multiple other devices, and also works when scanning the QR code for use on an iPhone.
There is some very specific thing with some very specific versions of Safari that seem to be tripping it up.
If it helps, the version of Safari on the BrowserStack device is 18.1, but the version on my Macbook is 18.1.1. The version the customer who is having the issue is on is 18.2 according to him.
The customer also says they have used ApplePay on other websites with no issues. I checked one of them and they appear to be using a PayPal integration, where as I am using the ApplePay SDK straight from Apple.
There are quite a few variables at play here, and I'm just trying to narrow down what I should be looking at. If one person is reporting the issue, there are probably others with it as well.
Test Scenario:
Initial Setup:
Register a passkey on Chrome (MacBook) with cross-platform option
The passkey syncs to iPhone via iCloud
Both devices share same iCloud account
Authentication Tests:
Chrome on MacBook:
Using hybrid transport (QR code with iPhone) → PRF output A
Using platform authenticator → PRF output B (different)
Safari on MacBook:
Only uses platform authenticator → PRF output B
Expected Behavior:
When using same credential ID and salt, PRF output should be consistent across browsers/devices
Since iPadOS 18.x WKWebView seems to have a bug within its Fullscreen API (which can be enabled via WKPreferences.isElementFullscreenEnabled). This bug has the effect that websites trying to make an element (for example a video player) fullscreen fail to do so. This does not always happen, most of the time the fullscreen mode does work fine, but sometimes (far too often to be ignored) it does not. If an instance of WKWebView shows this issue, it can not be "fixed" by reloading the page or loading other pages, this issue exists in this instance forever.
My App is a web browser App so I can create and remove WKWebView instance easily (by opening or closing Tabs). And there are times where I never see this bug, and times where ever other tab shows this bug. It's totally unreliable.
The App does not show any issues at all when running under iPadOS 17 or older. The issue is only present under iPadOS 18.x.
After some testing I've found out that when the bug has affected an instance of WKWebView, the JavaScript call element.requestFullscreen() will work if the element is a video element, but does no longer work if it is another element (like a DIV). If an instance of WKWebView is not affected by this bug, element.requestFullscreen() will work for all HTML elements.
Does anyone has experienced this bug as well? And maybe found a workaround? Or maybe found a pattern which helps to find out what exactly is triggering this bug?
I have an extension which was working fine on older Safari version, but it is getting killed after I upgraded the browser to Safari 18 and higher.

Hi, we are experiencing a strange issue with our Web App. Our web app runs entirely on the same domain , and we are making several AJAX requests to the same server. The Error occurs only on Iphones, the app works completely fine on androids and computers.
Most of the requests work fine, but suddenly, one specific request always fails with the following error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://demo2.artios.cz/app37g/v105/php/endpoint.php due to access control checks
What we have checked so far:
✅ CORS headers seem correct. Also we operate entirely on the same domain, client and server.
✅ The same request works fine in computer and android devices.
✅ The issue occurs only on iPhone (tested on Chrome and Safari).
✅ Some requests to the same endpoint pass, but suddenly, this specific request always fails.
✅ There is no OPTIONS preflight request logged in the network tab, but we use only simple requests.
✅ We are making a POST request with multipart/form-data.
What is Your advice, or where I can find more info about this error? We do not think the CORS is the problem. We have tried to inspect with WebInspector but with no relevant answers. Thank You very much!
We have a JavaScript api that queries our Secure Browser to get the network information – signal strength, network name, plugged in/wifi. Everything worked fine through the Tahoe betas, still does. Now we are getting on the network name and this is breaking our UI. Was this an intentional change or a bug? The other two properties still appear to be working. And it works in all lower MacOS versions.
We are currently obtaining it through AppleScript
try
set ssid to do shell script "system_profiler SPAirPortDataType | awk '/Current Network Information:/ {getline; sub(/^ +/, ""); sub(/:$/, ""); print}'"
if ssid is equal to "" then
return "Not connected to any Wi-Fi network."
else
return ssid
end if
on error errMsg
return "Error: " & errMsg
end try

We are building a hybrid iOS app using Angular (web) rendered inside a WKWebView, hosted by a native Swift app. Communication between the Angular UI and native Swift code is done using WKScriptMessageHandler.
The app mostly works without issues, but in rare edge cases, we’re seeing crashes on the main thread, and the crash is reported in Firebase Crashlytics. The root cause appears related to CFRelease and WKScriptMessageHandler.

Steps:
WebView: WKWebView
Message passing: WKScriptMessageHandler → passing data from Angular → Swift
WKWebView is long-lived and reused
Native is using WKUserContentController.add(_:name:) to register handlers
Crashes are intermittent (hard to reproduce), but often follow:
Screen sleep/wake
Push notification open
Angular calling native immediately after resume
Questions:
Has anyone seen this specific crash pattern involving CFRelease and WKScriptMessageHandler?
Are there known WebKit or CoreFoundation bugs related to WKScriptMessageHandler and retained URLs or message content?
Thank you for your help!
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,
