Since Safari requires a macOS app as a container for Web Extensions, is there a way to establish native messaging directly from SafariWebExtensionHandler using stdin/stdout? Or does Safari enforce a different communication mechanism? I’d like to keep the same approach as other browsers. Any guidance on making this work would be appreciated!

Hello there, back in the old WebKit API there was the WKDownloadDelegate to handle download actions in WebViews. I was wondering how to handle download actions within the new WebKit in SwiftUI. Is there anything to use already or are there workarounds to handle downloads? Greetings, Thorben

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: 🔗 https://codepen.io/bzasklcu-the-sans/pen/rNXogxL 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!

with iOs26 it works so so great, that every time i look something up ChatGPT is the first thing to Seach the web for everything about it then, i can read it an it gives a link for me to go to if i wont to further look inti it ,this on I Phone SE 3 Generation ,it has better Siiri to better on the I Phone SE 3rd Generation.

Hello, following problems described here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/765272 Last version of Safari apparently corrected previous bugs, however we encountered another problem. Right now Safari uses autocomplete feature of some kind (Siri suggested websites/Top hit) which triggers blocking while writing the name of the website. Probably somehow loads website in the background. Problem is, that this behavior is impossible to debug, because this autocomplete doesn't work, while the browser console is open. We are using content script for blocking. Please advise. Thanks very much

If "Not Secure Connection Warnings" is enabled in the Settings > App > Safari, are no HTTP connections allowed? Setting NSAppTransportSecurity does not seem to apply either.

input type="file"でアップロードした画像データからGPS情報が除去されます。 こちらはiPadOS16.5.1で発生しておりました。 iPadOS17.4.1、iPadOS18.3では正常にGPS情報が保持されます。 iOS、iPadOSのアップデートでGPS情報を保持するよう修正されたと見受けられますが、リリースノートを参照しても上記修正についての記事を見つけられませんでした。 お手数ですが、上記修正に該当する記事をご教示頂けませんでしょうか。 どうぞよろしくお願い致します。

How did you test apple-app-site-association in non-production environments that are usually not public?

ios drop file wrong file name I use the following simple JS code to drag file from the browser to the desktop. Works perfect on MacOS. onDragStart(event, ucpView) { let file = new BrowserFile([this.file.fileContent], this.file.displayName, { type: 'application/ucp-scenario' }); const fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file); event.dataTransfer.setData("DownloadURL", `application/octet-stream:${file.name}:${fileURL}`); event.dataTransfer.setData("text/uri-list", fileURL); } but on iOS it keeps nameing the file Text1.txt Text2.txt ... and ignores the DownloadURL whats the best way to get it workng on both OS?

Hi all! I have been working on a web speech recognition service using the Web Speech API. This service is intended to work on smartphones, primarily Chrome on Android and Safari (or WebKit WebView) on iOS. In my specific use case, I need to set the properties continuous = true and interimResults = true. However, I have noticed that interimResults = true does not always work as expected in WebKit. I understand that this setting should provide fast, native, on-device speech recognition with isFinal = false. However, at times, the recognition becomes throttled and slow, yielding isFinal = true and switching to cloud-based recognition. To confirm whether the recognition is cloud-based, I tested it by disabling the internet connection before starting speech recognition. In some cases, recognition fails entirely, which suggests that requiresOnDeviceRecognition = false is being applied. (Reference: SFSpeechRecognitionRequest.requiresOnDeviceRecognition) I believe this is not the expected behavior when setting interimResults = true. I have researched the native services used by the Web Speech API on iOS devices, and the following links seem relevant: • SFSpeechRecognizer • SFSpeechRecognitionRequest.shouldReportPartialResults • SFSpeechRecognizer.supportsOnDeviceRecognition • Recognizing speech in live audio • Apple Developer Forums Discussion I found that setRequiresOnDeviceRecognition and setShouldReportPartialResults appear to be set correctly, but apparently, they do not work as expected: WebKit Source Code

I can open an app (e.g. tiktok) from a website of mine by using the deeplink “tiktok://open”, if the app is installed on my iphone. What's the deeplink to launch TestFlight? Thanks in advance

I want use the Safari Extension to decorate the window.fetch function, But No matter how I try, I can't get the fetch function to execute correctly. I was going through the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/using-injected-style-sheets-and-scripts and found this sentence: "Injected scripts have an implied namespace — you don’t have to worry about your variable or function names conflicting with those of the website author, nor can a website author call functions in your extension. In other words, injected scripts and scripts that you include in the webpage run in isolated worlds, with no access to each other’s functions or data." Does this mean I can't modify the window object in the content script just like a Chrome extension does with the webpage? BTW, In chrome I use chrome.scripting.executeScript API, and in plasmo I just use world: "MAIN" content script's config to achieved this feature.

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.

Hello! I've made a Safari extension that supports command "ReTab", and a couple of month ago, adding a customized macOS shortcut for Safari with menu title "ReTab" did trigger the extension. However, it's not working anymore and I'm not sure if it's from macOS/Safari update or because I changed manifest from v2 to v3 - could you help check if there's anything wrong with either the manifest.json or background.js? (the default Cmd+E still works) Thank you in advance! Xun manifest.json: { "manifest_version": 3, "default_locale": "en", "name": "ReTab", "description": "Go to the last active tab with Cmd+E!", "version": "1.4", "homepage_url": "https://LycheeIsle.com", "background": { "service_worker": "background.js" }, "action": { "default_icon": "images/toolbar-icon.svg" }, "permissions": [ "commands", "tabs", "storage" ], "commands": { "ReTab": { "suggested_key": { "default": "Command+E" }, "description": "Go to the last active tab" } }, "options_page": "options.html" } in background.js, I have this line which should listen to the command, and Cmd+E works but any customized shortcut for "ReTab" in Safari doesn't: browser.commands.onCommand.addListener(async (command) => { if (command === "ReTab" || command === "retab") { await retab() } });

I'm trying to download mods for Stardew Valley, before the beta it worked but now it doesn't. Is there anyone who can help to fix this? Used Firefox and Safari as well as Safari on my ipad.

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?

Hi, We have a native application with a webview part. When we open the app, we load webview resources in a false foreground. The webview communicates with the native part to query local variables, among other things. We have noticed that for the past few weeks, when the biometric component is presented to enter the fingerprint or faceId, while the component is displayed, the webview does not respond. We do not see the calls made by the webview, nor can we respond to them. Even if you open the Safari debugger, the webview does not respond UNTIL you close the biometric component in the native part. This has created a big problem in our app, and we wanted to know if it is an issue you had on your radar. Thank you very much.

I am trying to build and run a Safari Web Extension from Xcode and I have enabled "Allow unsigned extensions" in Safari settings. However, I see the below pop up: And, if click on the "Quit and Open Safari Extensions Preferences..." button, the project stops running on Xcode and nothing happens. What can be the issue? The extension works and runs fine if I get it from the Mac App Store and this only happens when running from Xcode. I even tried completely uninstalling the mac app store version and still facing the same issue.

Hello, I am developing a website which starts a web worker using the js code: const zarrWorker = new Worker('./zarr_file.js', { type: 'module' });. The script 'zarr_file.js' is served from the same origin with Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp and Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin and it is importing external modules through the import statement (e.g. import * as zarr from "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/zarrita/+esm";). All the external modules are blocked by Safari with the error Worker load was blocked by Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy, although I can see (by running curl on them) that they correctly set cross-origin-resource-policy: cross-origin`. The same website works fine in Chrome and Firefox. Is it a bug or is Safari implementing stricter policies? In the latter case what would be the solution?
