iOS 18.0.1 - SafariViewService - LIBXPC - XPC_EXIT_REASON_FAULT
Title: SafariViewService Recurring "Hard Refresh" Issue on iOS 18.0.1 Hello, Many of my app users are experiencing a recurring "hard refresh" issue related to SafariViewService, which appears only on iOS 18.0.1 across various iPhone models. Users on earlier iOS versions are not encountering this problem. Our app relies on SafariViewService, and the logs show an event triggered by an EXC_GUARD exception with a termination reason from LIBXPC, causing the app to stop. Below are key details from the log report: App Version: 4.1.2 (build 4.1.1.0) OS Version: iPhone OS 18.0.1 Exception Type: EXC_GUARD Subtype: GUARD_TYPE_USER Termination Reason: LIBXPC, XPC_EXIT_REASON_FAULT Device Model: iPhone 11 Pro Max Process Path: [Removed] Here’s an excerpt from the logs: ... {"codes":"0x6000000000000007, 0x0000000000000009","reason":9,"message":"namespc 7 reason_code 0x0000000000000009","subtype":"GUARD_TYPE_USER","type":"EXC_GUARD","rawCodes":[Removed],"namespc":7}, "termination" : {"flags":518,"code":9,"namespace":"LIBXPC","indicator":"XPC_EXIT_REASON_FAULT"}, ... I would greatly appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue, particularly if there are known concerns with inter-process communication (LIBXPC) in iOS 18.0.1 or advice on how to manage the EXC_GUARD exception more effectively. Full log details are in the attachment. Thank you for your help! ExcUserFault_SafariViewService-2024-10-10-102717 (1).ips ExcUserFault_OnixWorker.Maui-2024-10-10-102718 (1).ips Thank you for your help!

WKWebView gpuProcessExited IdleExit Code=18
I'm injecting some javascript into a WKWebview on iOS. At a certain point the web view spits out these warnings into the console and the javascript execution stops. 0x109018c40 - [PID=778] WebProcessProxy::gpuProcessExited: reason=IdleExit 0x109019200 - [PID=779] WebProcessProxy::gpuProcessExited: reason=IdleExit Failed to terminate process: Error Domain=com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x303c3c060 {Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process found" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=No such process found}}} I can't find any solution for this so am looking if anyone has any idea of what to try. None of the WKWebview delegate functions trigger when this occurs so I can't attempt to reload the webview at this stage

WKWebView intercepting Https URL
I'm developing an application that utilizes WKWebView to display a webpage. My goal is to improve the performance and loading speed of this webpage by intercepting specific API calls and providing pre-stored JSON responses directly from within the app, ensuring the webpage renders instantaneously. The challenge I am encountering is the inability to intercept HTTPS URL schemes directly from WKWebView. Any insights or solutions from the community on how to effectively manage and overwrite these particular network requests would be greatly appreciated.

Safari and WkWebView Memory Limit Causing App Interruptions
I'm working on a rather complex web application that includes 3D terrain, 2D mapping, and SVG animations. Both Safari and the Swift app I've built using WkWebKit reload the page after some period of time. Safari pops up a small text block that says: This webpage was reloaded because it was using significant memory. Yes. That's true. It's also true that the M1 Max Mac was in now way experiencing issues, nor were any of the other web pages running in other tabs or windows. The memory limit is simply too low for modern web apps. So far I've not found any way to adjust the parameters in Safari or WkWebView. Apple, help a brother out. It's not 1997 anymore. Web apps are big. And resetting them at some arbitrary point causes more problems that is solves. Anyone have any suggestions? Quinn, any way (other than casting a stone into the one-way abyss of Radar) of getting help from the big A here?

Safari Content Blocker - cannot set bundle name in Safari Extensions list
Hello, I can't figure out how to set the name of a Content Blocker in the Safari extensions list. So far, the Content Blocker name in this list is the Contaning application name. I tried to set the bundle name in Info.plist and tried to locate Info.plist, without success... Since I also bundle a Safari ("chrome") extension, I have two extensions in the list, and it would be fine to display a specific name for each to make it clear for the user.

webp images cause Safari to not work properly
Hello, during the development of my website, I discovered that when there are numerous or large WebP images on the screen, the screen keeps flickering, accompanied by the phenomenon of mobile phone heating. The page returns to normal after converting to PNG. It seems that the issue is caused by the update of IOS 18. Could you please assist me in taking a look? PNG (it works) https://static.xdbbtswu.com/bbt_of/assets/test/good/#/ WebP (it doesn't work) https://static.xdbbtswu.com/bbt_of/assets/test/nogood/#/

Device orientation / motion permission activation
We have a web-based viewer which makes use of device orientation. The permission box only appears on a “touch” and not on a swipe or pinch. Is this normal? We’ve already tried different listeners: start, end etc but it’s still only initiated the permission request upon a physical touch / tap on screen. Any ideas / suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.

Splitscreen bug with MacOS Sequoia (updated to 15.0.1)
I've been having this problem ever since updating my Mac (2024 M3 Macbook Air) to Sequoia where splitscreen basically doesn't work. By "splitscreen," I'm referring to when I hover over the green button in the top left of my browser, go to "full screen", and choose two browsers to see simultaneously. What's happening is that the screens will split, then whichever browser's green button I used will have the tabs stuck in full screen formation. Say I have 5 tabs open on a Chrome browser and I split the screen with finder using the green button on the Chrome browser. The 2 right-most tabs on Chrome will be cut off into oblivion, and only the first 3 will be visible, but if I try to click them, they don't go to the right place. Clicking in the general location of where the 5 tabs SHOULD be in the minimized screen does yield the change of tab, but I can't actually SEE the tabs in their minimized form. I've attached a screenshot because I know it's probably hard to understand what I'm saying. This also doesn't occur 100% of the time, only like 95% of the time. Lol.

WKWebView process did become unresponsive in iOS 17
Recently, we ran into a bit of a problem when using WKWebView. Sometimes, problems with all pages blank occur which use WKWebView. I implemented WKNavigationDelegate and found that it stops at - (void)webView:(WKWebView *)theWebView decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction decisionHandler:(void (^)(WKNavigationActionPolicy))decisionHandler and it won't call below func forever - (void)webView:(WKWebView*)theWebView didStartProvisionalNavigation:(WKNavigation*)navigation I suspected that the render process is terminated and it won't restart. Then i try to resolve this problem by call reload func [self.webView reload]; But it didn't work. In The Meanwhile, i got some error message in console I have tested it in iOS 16 and 17. only iOS 17 got the issue. Pray for some help. Thanks a lot.

Safari Deceptive Warning on My Simple HTML Website
When I access my website through Safari, I see Deceptive Warning. My website has only html with no styles, just text and my contacts leading to github-like services. I also have an SSL certificate. At the same time, going through online ios emulators, there is no warning, I checked through different versions of ios. I sent many requests to websitereview, but personally I get such a warning.

The behavior has changed when specifying an xlsx file in the src of iframe in my PWA app.
The behavior has changed when specifying an xlsx file in the src of iframe in my PWA app. On iPadOS 17.3:Content of xlsx file shown in iframe On iPadOS 17.5.1:A screen appears on top of the original screen to select an app to open the xlsx file. I would like to restore the original behavior, but how can I do that? In addition, if i open and operate the same URL as the one opened in the PWA app in Safari on iPadOS 17.5.1, "download test.xlsx dialog" is open and the dialog has view or download buttons. If the behavior has changed to same to safari on iPadOS17.5.1, it is good for me.

applePayCapabilities undefined on `window.ApplePaySession`
Good day, I'm attempting to check whether Apple Pay is available using the ApplePay JS API. Prior to upgrading to Safari 18.0+, I was using window.ApplePaySession.canMakePayments to show/hide the Apple Pay option. I've noticed with the new Safari version, the preferred method of checking the availability of Apple Pay is by using the applePayCapabilities method. When logging and inspecting the window object in Safari 18.0.1, this method seems to be missing from the ApplePaySession object. Additionally, my conditional code which is dependent on applePayCapabilities does not execute: if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.ApplePaySession) { // Safari version 17 and lower if (window.ApplePaySession.canMakePayments) { // set Apple Pay available } /** * On Safari version 18 and higher, we must check whether a user has a card saved in their wallet. * If this is the case, Apple Pay must be presented as the primary payment method. In our case, * this means selecting Apple Pay as the default payment method. */ if (window.ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities) { const merchantIdentifier = 'xxx'; const promise = window.ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities( merchantIdentifier ); promise.then(capabilities => { switch (capabilities.paymentCredentialStatus) { case ApplePayCapabilities.CREDENTIALS_AVAILABLE: // set Apple Pay as available and default break; case ApplePayCapabilities.UNSUPPORTED: // not available break; default: // set Apple Pay as available only } }); } } I feel I'm missing something very simple here, help would be greatly appreciated!

WKWebView: Fullscreen API very unreliable on iPadOS 18.x
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?

Determining If a User's Device is capable of supporting an Apple Wallet Pass
We are developing an Add To Wallet flow on our website where we add the "Add To Wallet" button to a user portal for them to be able to add a loyalty card pass to their Apple Wallet. In other projects with Apple Pay, we can check whether or not the browser supports the JS library by checking if it exists on the global window property (if (window.ApplePaySession) { //do stuff } Is there an equivalent to determine if the user's device is capable of accepting a Wallet pass?

Links in web apps in Safari 18.0 always open in the web app itself
This is problematic when opening links to other websites that require separate authentication. A typical example would be a Gmail web app, and then trying to open a link to a GitHub PR. In the 18.0 release notes, this is mentioned as Added support for opening links directly in web apps on macOS. (113034778 It'd be great if this could be customizable so that one could choose the old behavior.
