PWA works perfectly fine in safari browsers in mac but in mobile devices it
is not working it just shows, There is no internet connection. found a fix from ios release - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-17_2-release-notes
but actually it is not solving the issue. in my case even it is not throwing the issue -
fix is - Fixed a cache miss bug in DOMCache that triggered service worker fetch errors. (115740959) (FB13188943)

I have a very specific issue that happens only on iOS Simulator version 18.4.
It does NOT happen when I run my app on a real iOS 18.4 device through Testflight.
My app displays a WebView (courtesy of Capacitor, url scheme capacitor://).
Inside that Webview I'm using Firebase JS API (11.2.0) and calling signInWithEmailAndPassword, which works well in all other contexts, i.e. browser, Android webview, iOS webview in all other Simulator versions, and on real devices.
Only when running in Simulator 18.4, I get a failed network request:
cannot parse response
Fetch API cannot load https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/accounts:signInWithPassword?... due to access control checks.
Failed to load resource: cannot parse reponse
error: FirebaseError: (auth/network-request-failed)
Everything is working correctly for both:
Capacitor app webview installed on a real 18.4 device with Testflight
Safari (non-webview) in the 18.4 Simulator
The issue is severe for us, because we are unable to develop our app and test it in the simulator on 18.4 Simulator before pushing it through Testflight internal release.
Request headers on the failed request (no response status or headers available).

Within installed PWAs, the navigator.language / navigator.languages property return a value, that is not according to the Safari settings and defers from the navigator.language / navigator.languages in the browser itself.
Example: Safari settings set to "German", returns "de-DE" in browser mode, but within the installed webApp it returns "en-GB".
I thought this might be due to the overall phone language settings, but this is not the case. Even is the phone is completely set to German, the navigator returns "en-GB" within an installed PWA.
My phone is also not English/British, there is no reason why "en-GB" should show up.

After the first installation (out of AppStore) of the extension in the browser, the content script is correctly inserted into the page (twice for some reason) and a message is sent from the root of the content script to the background script, which responds correctly.
However, if an event handler is registered within the content script, within which the message is also sent to the background script, it will never reach the background script.
window.addEventListener("message", function (event) {
// We only accept messages from ourselves
if (event.source !== window) {
return;
}
if (event.data.source && event.data.source === appIdentification) {
browser.runtime.sendMessage(event.data);
}
}, false);
It does not matter with what delay the event handler is called (i.e. the background script is not asleep). If I refresh the page or close and reopen the browser and reload the page, everything works correctly and the message sent from the event handler is already delivered to the background script.
The event handler is used so that the extension code is uniform for all browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera, Firefox), i.e. it is not intended to use externally_connectable for sending messages from the webpage directly to the background script, which Safari should support. The expected behavior is that the extension will work even after the first installation, as is the case with other browsers.
Procedure:
Enter the test website: https://www.mssf.cz/testapp/check_client.aspx
Do the initial installation of the extension (could be downloaded from here: https://1drv.ms/f/c/76f4c93826df41a0/Ej5MQX9ctyhHv_P9_t_6uAwB05ET-nzXuMhPeu56nOgkWg?e=cudqRJ)
Set a breakpoint in the event handler for "message" within the content script, open the background script and set a breakpoint in the event handler for onMessage
Click on the "Validate certificate" button on the page loaded in point 1
Step through the content script to the point where the message is sent to the background script, the breakpoint within the background script is never hit, which is an error, the message should come to the background script
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:

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a web project developed on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), where we’ve built a custom component that embeds Apple Podcasts episodes using the official iframe provided via https://embed.podcasts.apple.com.
Everything works correctly from a rendering point of view, but we are now exploring ways to track user interactions with the embedded player, specifically events such as: start, play, pause,
progress milestones (e.g. 25%, 50%, etc.).
This data would be used to send analytics events to Adobe Analytics.
So far, we haven’t found any documentation or JavaScript API that would allow us to listen to these events.
We'd like to ask:
Is there any official way to track playback events from an Apple Podcasts iframe?
Any information, clarification, or direction would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
Adriana

Hello,
We are developing a Safari Web Extension that uses a cookie-based authentication mechanism. The extension makes a request to an endpoint e.g. /login, and this endpoint expects a cookie (e.g., sessionId) to be included with the request. Everything works correctly when running in the default Safari profile.
However, when I install and run the same extension in a new, non-default profile, the behaviour changes:
The request to /login is still made
The cookie sent is not as expected
As a result, the response returns null user data
I confirmed that logging into the site in the new profile (in a tab) works, but the extension does not appear to share the session/cookie state with the login tab
We’ve tried explicitly setting "credentials": "include" in the request but that still didn’t share the cookie in the extension context in the non-default profile.
My questions:
Is there away to allow cookie-based session sharing between a tab and an extension in non-default profiles in safari?
Would switching to a token-based auth mechanism (e.g., Bearer tokens ) be the recommended workaround?
I’d appreciate any insights or guidance from those who’ve run into similar issues.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Apple Developer Team,
I would love to see iCloud Keychain Autofill and Touch ID support extended to Chromium-based browsers on macOS (such as Ecosia, Brave, or Vivaldi).
Currently, Safari allows autofill of passwords using Touch ID, but when using other browsers, I have to manually copy-paste credentials from Keychain Access, which is time-consuming.
Would it be possible for Apple to provide an API or framework that allows non-WebKit browsers to integrate iCloud Keychain autofill while keeping security intact?
This feature would make macOS more convenient for users who prefer alternative browsers while keeping security standards high.
Thanks in advance for considering this!
Best regards, Kilian

I'm not loving the huge Favorites icons in Safari on MacOS 26, is there a way to reduce the size of them so that we can see more favorites on the list without scrolling down?
With most recent Safari update, our page started having some of it's core functionality broken while users access it on Private mode due to Fingerprinting protection.
The issue is that the code that breaks is our first-party code and I want understand why it is breaking and how to properly fix it.
One thing we discovered was that a service of ours that uses the same code base doesn't have these issues and current assumption is that their page bundles are served on the same domain as the actual page request, while ours is coming from a different one.
The other assumption was that the domain which we use for serving the bundles of the page are set on the domain that is flagged as tracking domain.
Is there some documentation on how Safari decides which code is allowed reading user inputs and which isn't and what is the appropriate approach to fix this issue as it would be possible that these changes get release as default in the future?

Hi everyone,
I'm exploring the new app icon appearance options (Clear, Dark, Tinted) for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS26, iPadOS26, and macOS26. Currently, PWA icons don't seem to render well with these new appearances, particularly in Clear and Tinted modes, resulting in very very poor visual quality. You can hardly see anything.
Has support for these icon appearances been fully implemented for PWAs? If so, could someone point me to the relevant Apple Developer documentation or provide guidance on how to configure PWA icons to support Clear, Dark, and Tinted appearances? I've searched the Apple Developer Forums, Stack Overflow, and Reddit but haven't found clear information on this topic.A possible solution is a png file with transparent areas, but if the pattern is dark, nothing will be visible in dark mode.
Any insights or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
(plz don't give up on PWA😭)

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.
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!
Hi,
Our company has an application uses the WKWebview to host a lot of content.
The content is web based and hosts a lot of charts and metrics.
Because of the high content, we've seen the memory of the WebContent hit above 1.25 GB.
When that happens, it'll eventually terminate and we have our recovery code to reload the same page
Seems like the limit is hidden / internal. Some Apple devs also noted something might be hard coded to be limited as well.
Yes, we have our optimizations but we still need to keep our queries, use react, cache, etc... It's just a heavy web application.
Request:
Can you help us raise that limit?
Are there some limitations in Webkit for such a need to terminate?
As some devices have much higher RAM than before, we were hoping to be able to dynamically adjust the limit for the wkwebview before it resets.
We contacted our internal contacts but they said to post here.
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.
