I'm a web developer of WebRTC based web app for video and audio calls. After updating to iOS 26.1 beta I noticed, that my app can't use microphone anymore.
When I'm calling to getUserMedia with audio set to true, Safari returns error "No AVAudioSessionCaptureDevice device".
Other WebRTC demo apps also can't access microphone on this firmware.
And maybe it's connected somehow, but safari can't detect connected AirPods Pro 2 as an input device.
So, this bug brakes any WebRTC app, that uses microphones.

Starting with iOS 26.2, when Safari tabs are set to Bottom or Compact view, some pages are not rendering properly. The error does not occur in Top view.
For some pages, scrolling causes rendering to be very slow, causing the user to experience page breaks and missing parts. If the user waits a few seconds, the missing parts of the page will appear, but the issue will reoccur when scrolling further. We have tested this on all available iOS devices and the issue occurs on all iPhones running iOS 26.2. The issue does not occur on iOS 26.1, and we have not experienced it on devices running iOS 18.
The issue can be reproduced on the following pages with an iPhone running iOS 26.2:

I am posting here because we have an urgent issue affecting the operation of our service and are in need of a solution after our own analysis has come up with few answers.
Beginning in iOS 18.2.x, we experienced exactly the same issue as the author of this thread, as we are also operating a service that allows for device certificate login for users configured to require one:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/767374
The author seems to have resolved the issue but the fix mentioned in the thread did not resolve our problem for iOS devices with iOS 18.2.x installed and the contents of that private support ticket are, of course, not visible to us. Furthermore, we have a different issue that surfaced with the release of iOS 18.3.x.
Namely, the issue in iOS 18.3.x is more severe than the one in iOS 18.2.x, in that instead of simply taking a long time for the certificate/identity selection dialog to appear, it simply fails immediately and is returning a “no certificate selected” response to our server.
One thing to note here is that, curiously, if we wait for several seconds (about 10-15 seconds) this behavior is not replicated. So, it seems there is potentially something going in the background, and the certificate selection process will only occur successfully like before if we wait. This is a very unideal workaround.
After entering user credentials, we have the user navigate to a dedicated certificate authentication page. On the BIG IP side, upon users visiting this page, we have it configured to apply an SSL profile that contains appropriate CAs for the given user, and then requests to the browser that a new connection requiring a certificate be made.
We are investigating this by checking logs in in a variety of places:
We can verify in BigIP logs that a response is being returned to the server without a certificate included. For the sake of our application, this is handled as a “user did not select a certificate” event, and thus the attempted login is failed. Using the MacOS “Console” application, we are able to see the following logs from the “trustd” process of the target iOS 18.3.x device:
Failure case:
debug 11:19:49.648581+0900 trustd XPC [com.apple.WebKit[1034]/1#25 LF=0] operation: trust_evaluate (8)
debug 11:19:49.648766+0900 trustd complex trust settings anchor
Successful case (after waiting 10-15 seconds after initial login page load/before moving to certificate page):
debug 11:26:02.803153+0900 trustd XPC [MobileSafari[1031]/1#169 LF=0] operation: trust_evaluate (8)
debug 11:26:02.804219+0900 trustd non ev score: 121 <private>
There appears to be no attempt by MobileSafari to initiate the display of a certificate selection window in the failure cases. The iOS device is swift to return a response with no certificate selected to Big IP, and the result of “no certificate selected” is thus propagated through Big IP and ultimately to our web service.
Does anyone have any advice or information on the following?
Recommended tools to gather more data that may be pertinent.
Any ideas on changes in iOS 18.2.x+ that could have resulted in the behavior changing as described above?
If more information is necessary, I will do my best to supply it. Thank you in advance!

Typically, you can use the @@extension_id special string to reference the absolute path into the bundled resources of an extension, such as an image or a custom font, in a CSS file.
However, this broke with Safari 18.
Consider this section in a popup.css file:
.card-icon {
height: 16px;
width: 20px;
background-image: url(safari-web-extension://__MSG_@@extension_id__/images/card.svg);
background-size: 20px 16px;
}
In Safari 17.4, once loaded in the browser, @@extension_id is replaced with E8BEA491-9B80-45DB-8B20-3E586473BD47, and the background-image reads as so:
background-image: url(safari-web-extension://E8BEA491-9B80-45DB-8B20-3E586473BD47/images/card.svg);
But as of Safari 18, the @@extension_id just collapses to an empty string, and the background-image reads as so:
background-image: url(safari-web-extension:///images/card.svg);
and the svg fails to load with the following error: "Failed to load resource: You do not have permission to access the requested resource."
This is a regression, does to match the behavior of the other major browsers, and should be fixed.

I want to migrate from a Safari App Extension to a Safari Web Extension, but don't know how to get rid of the message, telling users that my extension can access their passwords. Here is a message which I see:
I was thinking that this might be because all Safari Web Extension get this type of access, but I have a Safari Web Extension which does not require such level of access:
Here is the manifest:

On iOS 26 Beta, WKWebView consistently crashes when interacting with pages that use -webkit-user-select: none.
This issue does not reproduce in Safari, but only when the same content is loaded inside a WKWebView.
Steps to Reproduce:
Install iOS 26 Beta.
Open a WKWebView that loads a webpage with the following style applied globally:
-webkit-user-select: none;
Perform the following gesture sequence inside the WKWebView:
Double tap anywhere in the web content.
On the second tap, keep your finger pressed (do not lift).
While still holding the second tap, drag your finger across the screen (pan).
This sequence reliably produces the crash.
Expected Result:
No crash. The gesture should either be ignored or handled gracefully.
Actual Result:
The app crashes 100% of the time with the following exception:

My environment
Device: iPhone 15 Pro
OS: iOS 26.0 Public Beta (23A5336a)
In iOS 26, three types of tabs were added to Safari.
Depending on the option, the behavior of the fixed header and footer can be unstable.
*Tab settings can be changed in the iOS Settings app under "Apps -> Safari" > "Tabs."
The following behavior differs depending on the tab.
Compact
When scrolling down, the header and footer shift up by a few pixels.
A margin is created between the footer and the URL input field.
Bottom
Behaves the same as "Compact."
Top
The header is completely hidden below the URL input field at the top of the screen, leaving a margin below the footer.
Below is the sample code to check the operation.

Hi,
My app is using JavascriptCore to run the business logic in a javascript environment.
We are randomly seeing crashes when users move the app back to the foreground.
These crashes are reported by Firebase (I am attaching an example). I also tried to find them in Organizer, but the stacktraces don't match and I am not sure if they are pointing to the same error (I attach one just in case).
I was trying to investigate a little bit about this, but I could find any explanation about what pas_reallocation_did_fail would mean.
Here is our implementation:
-(void) enqueueCallback:(JSValue *)callback withArguments:(NSArray *)args exclusive:(BOOL)exclusive {
[self enqueueBlock:^{
@autoreleasepool {
[callback callWithArguments:args];
}
} exclusive:exclusive];
}
Basically, every JS block is enqueued and then run by a dedicated thread specific to our JSContext.
Can I get some help?
Thanks in advance!

Background
On iOS 18.4 beta, setting a content inset on a WKWebView causes touch events inside the web view to be offset by the content inset amount. In other words, if the web view has a top content inset of 75 points, I must tap 75 points above the intended element for the touch to register correctly. This makes any web content unusable when a content inset is present.
A sample app demonstrating the issue is available here: GitHub - iOS18.4-Webview-Bug.
The issue does not occur in iOS 18.3 or 18.2.
Bug Report
The bug has been reported and fixed at WebKit Bug 289715 and also filed as rdar://147075945.
Question
Will the fix be included in the upcoming iOS 18.4 beta release (Beta 5) or soon thereafter?
I recently upgraded my device from IOS 18.4 to IOS 26. My web extension has disapeared from safari. I can see it in Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions and when I turn it on and re-open safari. I just get a mesasge that says "{extension name} is no longer avaiable". I have tried Manifest V2 and Manifest V3 both yield the same results. The current production extension bundled with the IOS app has the same problem. I can no longer use or test my own extension !? Help please !
I am encountering an issue where we are unable to run or launch Safari Driver in our automation tests using macOS. When attempting to run safaridriver -p 8888 from the terminal, we receive the following error message:
ERROR: safaridriver could not launch because it is not configured correctly or you need to authenticate. Re-run safaridriver(1) and pass the '--enable' flag to configure and/or authenticate.
For more information, consult the safaridriver(1) man page.
Despite running sudo safaridriver --enable as an administrator (even as root), the issue persists.
I’ve searched through various online forums and GitHub repositories but couldn’t find a working solution. Some references are:
Apple Developer Forum Thread: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/762321

Hi,
How are we supposed to handle links with target="_blank" in the new SwiftUI WebView? I don't see anything in WebPage.NavigationDeciding or elsewhere that corresponds to the delegate method used for WKWebView.
After upgrading to Safari version 18, we encountered an issue with my extension’s background script not being able to access cookies. Previously, in Safari versions 17 and below, the extension worked as expected. Now, when the extension tries to retrieve cookies using browser.cookies.getAll(), it returns an empty list. However, if we open the extension’s developer tools, the cookies are visible and accessible.
It seems that Safari only provides cookie data after the developer tools have been opened. However, after relaunching Safari and launching the extension without opening the developer tools, browser.cookies.getAll() still returns an empty list.
Has anyone else experienced this?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Download this minimal app : https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0bajlhnuQaG6T5NsFKXEB0U9Q#test%5Fcookies
Compile test_mv2 extension (in test_cookies.getAll.zip).
Launch test_mv2.app and activate extension.
Click on the extension's button (browserAction).
Open the developer tools.
Observe an empty list of cookies.
Click on the extension's button (browserAction).
Cookies are retrieved as expected.
Hello WebKit Team,
I’m writing to ask if iOS provides a native way to intercept AJAX (XMLHttpRequest or fetch) calls inside WKWebView.
On Android, this is handled via:
shouldInterceptRequest(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request)
but iOS currently seems to have no equivalent.
We’ve tried:
WKURLSchemeHandler → works only for custom schemes
URLProtocol with WKProcessPool → unreliable for AJAX in WebView
JavaScript injection → partial and unofficial
Could you please clarify:
Is there a recommended native approach to intercept AJAX requests?
If not supported, is it planned for future releases?
Any official workaround or guidance?
This is critical for debugging, analytics, and compliance in hybrid apps.

This doesn’t happen in 18.6. Also, it doesn’t seem to have any negative consequences other than the console spam? But then, the navigation is being cancelled anyway, so maybe it’s trapping and just happens to have the effect of not loading the request?
Anyway, I guess I can’t upload zips. But it’s pretty easy to reproduce. Just assign a WKWebView a navigationDelegate with an implementation like:
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping @MainActor (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
decisionHandler(.cancel)
}
and then have it .load() anything. Have I been doing this wrong and 26 exposes it? Or is this a bug in 26? If the latter, any downstream consequences I should be looking out for?

Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100)
iOS 26.1 (23B86)
Hi,
I have an app that uses WKWebView and it's crashing on iOS 26 Simulator in places I've never had problems before. In this case it's crashing when calling WKWebView.callAsyncJavaScript, but in my other project WKWebView is crashing with some sort of EXC_BAD_ACCESS other than callAsyncJavaScript.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,

Reproducibility
100% on iOS 15.4 and iOS 16.6
Zero crash on iOS 18.6
Xcode
26.1
Steps to Reproduce
Xcode 26.1 → New iOS App
Replace ViewController.swift with the 20-line code below
Run on real device
• iPhone XR iOS 15.4
• iPhone 13 iOS 16.6
Tap the link → breakpoint in decidePolicyFor
lldb → po navigationAction.sourceFrame
Actual Result
(lldb) po navigationAction.sourceFrame
nil
Swift declaration lies:
public var sourceFrame: WKFrameInfo { get } // non-optional
→ Instant EXC_BREAKPOINT
libswiftFoundation.dylib`URLRequest._unconditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC
Objective-C tells the truth:
po [(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction fixedSourceFrame]
nil
iOS 18.6 → same code prints a valid WKFrameInfo, no crash.
Expected
sourceFrame must be declared WKFrameInfo? in Swift
or at least documented “can be nil on iOS 15–16”.
Impact
Every WKWebView app that touches sourceFrame on iOS 15.4 & 16.6 ships with a latent crash.
Production Workaround
@implementation WKNavigationAction (Safe)
(WKFrameInfo *)fixedSourceFrame {
return self.sourceFrame ? self.sourceFrame : nil;
}
@end
Minimal Test (copy-paste)
import UIKit
import WebKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {
lazy var web = WKWebView(frame: view.bounds)
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
web.navigationDelegate = self
view.addSubview(web)
web.load(URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")!))
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView,
decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction,
preferences: WKWebpagePreferences,
decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy, WKWebpagePreferences)->Void) {
print(navigationAction.sourceFrame) // ← crashes on 15.4 & 16.6
decisionHandler(.allow, preferences)
}
}
I'm working on a regular website, in which I'm trying to debug using the (MacOS) Safari Development tools. Since updating my Simulator to iOS 16.4, console.log is no longer displayed in the Console. Even when executing it directly in the console (console.log('test');), it's not printed.
Now, I've read that this is a feature for debugging in-app browser content (https://webkit.org/blog/13936/enabling-the-inspection-of-web-content-in-apps/) but can't find the regular web workaround here.
TL;DR: No longer see console.log in iOS 16.4 Safari when debugging from my Mac.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Sometimes Safari is rendering the icon for an active extension in its original provided colored representation, other times Safari is applying an overlay color in line with the system's highlight color.
This difference can even be seen seen on the Safari Extensions Developer home page: https://developer.apple.com/safari/extensions/images/extensions-hero-large_2x.png
You will notice that Grammarly's icon is shown in it's original color format, while the others aren't.
Example of extensions where the icon is shown in color:
Bitwarden
Grammarly
1Password
Consent-O-Matic
I've compared the source code of Bitwarden and Consent-o-Matic with my own extension and cannot find any differences in the settings or image properties (resolution, DPI, file type, color profile). If I take the exact PNG source files from said open source extensions and replace them in my own source code, these icons show up in full color.
Does this perhaps mean there is a bug in Safari's processing of the icons where it fails to overlay the icon with the highlight color in some cases?
I and I assume many developers with me would like to understand what determines this difference. Ideally, there is a consistent UX where the end user has the choice between icons in color or highlight color overlay.
