Issue with image uploading from camera
In our web application some functionalities will allow user to upload multiple images (More than 25 images) in a single page It is working find in all OS and browsers except iOS When user try to upload images directly from camera there will be some overlaps, duplication, missing etc. This is happening in both Safari and Chrome, we had a thorough check in our application and found every thing is working fine from our end You can reproduce the issue by creating a web page which accept more than 50 images (we tried the same in ASP MVC Core & PHP) and showing the images in order access the page through your iPhone using Safari or Chrome Try to upload images directly from your camera, try sequential images (Image of a stop watch, or some thing like that) so that you can easily identify the order of files uploaded and check the listing page of uploaded image (Try these steps multiple times) You can find some images are duplicated and some are missing

Safari App Extension – conflicting Bundle Identifier
Sometimes the Safari App Extension i'm developing does not show up in my Safari Extensions unless i change mu bundle identifier to some unique name. Even if I delete all other apps i've built with the same (and different) bundle ID, the extension is still does not show up. The only solution for me is to always change the bundle ID. For example: Now it is "kopyl.tab-finder-10" If i change it to "kopyl.tab-finder-11", the extension does show up in the Safari extensions settings page again. Is there any other way to fix it?

Priority of Declarative Net Request rules not respected on Safari
A DNR rule with lower priority is being applied before a DNR rule of higher priority on Safari. Specifically, a low-priority DNR block rule that matches a request is being applied before a high-priority DNR redirect rule that matches the same request, preventing the redirect from occurring. The only way to get the high-priority redirect rule to occur is to remove the DNR block rule. This does not occur on other browsers. I have already submitted a Feedback Assistant report about this bug: FB16535579 How to reproduce: Create/install a web extension on Safari with the declarativeNetRequest and declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess permissions Open the Web Extension Background Content console and add a redirect rule with a high priority number. For example: await chrome.declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules({addRules: [ {id: 5000, condition: {urlFilter: "||www.google-analytics.com*/ga.js", resourceTypes: ["script"], domainType: "thirdParty"}, priority: 80, action: {type: "redirect", redirect: {url: “http://www.apple.com/”}}} ]}) Add a block rule of lower priority for the same urlFilter: await chrome.declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules({addRules: [ {id: 5001, condition: {urlFilter: "||www.google-analytics.com^", domainType: "thirdParty"}, priority: 1, action: {type: "block"}} ]}) Visit https://efforg.github.io/privacybadger-test-fixtures/html/ga_surrogate.html Check the network tab and see that neither a request to Google Analytics nor apple.com appear. This means that the request to Google Analytics was blocked instead of being / before being redirected Remove the block rule: await chrome.declarativeNetRequest.updateDynamicRules({removeRuleIds: [5001]}) Reload https://efforg.github.io/privacybadger-test-fixtures/html/ga_surrogate.html. Check the network tab and confirm that there is a request to apple.com, showing that the redirect rule is only applied if the lower-priority block rule is removed. The priority of the DNR rules should handle this without having to remove a DNR rule. I have confirmed that the incorrect application of DNR rule priority happens on other top level domains, with other urlFilters, and with other redirect URLs. I confirmed that this is happening while I’ve granted my extension permissions on all websites.

Subscription permission denied on webapp push
HI, please can someone help? I have a web app where push notifications are in place for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Providing the user allows notifications then when they log in for the first time their details are registered to the subscriptions table in the backend. All good so far. When trying to do the same with Safari on Mac I'm faced with this issue: "Safari doesn’t support invisible push notifications. Present push notifications to the user immediately after your service worker receives them. If you don’t, Safari revokes the push notification permission for your site." and the user is not registered in the subscription table with the Safari console just saying variations of this: [Warning] Notification permission denied. (notifications_frontend.js, line 177, x2) [Log] Enable Notifications button clicked (notifications_frontend.js, line 245) [Log] Safari Push Notifications detected (notifications_frontend.js, line 248) [Warning] Safari Push Permission denied. (notifications_frontend.js, line 278) I've found this on an another forrum: "Safari requires that you immediately post a notification when a push message is received. "Immediately" means that it cannot be after some async operation. If you display a notification immediately from the service worker itself, it will stop displaying that error. I cannot remember 100% but I think if you clear your cache and cookies you will be able to receive push messages again if you accidentally get blocked while testing." and I've tried adding buttons to trigger allowing notifications but it all seem to late to get the subscription registered in the subscription table. I'm pretty new to coding so if any has a similar experience and can advice how to get the subscriptions registered when the user logs on for the first time in Safari in a Mac it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Safari 18: Storage location for open windows and tabs
I want to write an app, that lets users restore all oben windows and tabs from any given point in a TimeMachine backup. The store location seems to have changed. In earlier versions it was possible to restore the open windows and tabs by retrieving /Users/[UserName]/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari/SafariTabs.db …/SafariTabs.db-shm …/SafariTabs.db-wal As of 18.3 this doesn’t work any more, even though these files get updated with the use of Safari What else would I need to retrieve from a back up disk? Thank you very much for any hints!

The first four tab bars of Safari are hidden
There is no problem with the content display of each tab, but the tab bar is completely buggy. If you open 5 or more tabs and browse tabs after the 5, the first 4 tab bars will be completely blacked out, and you don't even know how many tabs you have. If you click on the place where the tab title probably exists, the tab is displayed as if the partial display of the tab bar has been restored. There is no problem with content display. But because it is unclear what tab is open, the browsing experience is at its lowest. If you switch to the tab after the 5th, the first 4 will return to the blackout state again. Of course, it is the latest software configuration at the moment. There is no shortage of memory at 24GB. I recently started developing a Safari extension with AppExtension, but is that due to it?

Issue with Safari v18.2: Extension Prevents Video Playback When Inspecting
I am a developer working on a Safari extension that handles video playback, and I’ve encountered an issue with Safari version 18.2. When I open the developer tools to inspect the browser, videos fail to play as expected. It worked well on safari version 18.1. Details: Safari Version: 18.2 Operating System: macOS Sequoia v15.2 Additional Information: I’ve tested the extension with various video formats and sites. Clearing the cache and disabling other extensions did not resolve the issue. There are no error messages displayed in the console related to the extension. If I close inspecting, then extension(video playback) works well. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to address this issue, as it impacts the functionality of my extension. Thank you for your help!

iOS 18 Safari and WKWebview, "NotSupportedError" issue when playing videos
WKWebview of iOS 18 includes Safari browser. When playing videos, some videos show "NotSupportedError: The operation is not supported.", but it is normal on iOS15 devices. The video link is as follows. Even if it is downloaded and referenced locally in HTML, it cannot be played, so it is ruled out that it is a network problem. https://ydtj-adas.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/e6yun.com/exam/exam/a35447b496b94e5e9a6aab27d62c867e.mp4 cannot be played https://ydtj-adas.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/e6yun.com/exam/exam/82d970957a7d4e8d88c13cd101143005.mp4 can be played

Smart banner for app doesn't work
Hello everyone. I have a very strange behavior with smart app banners in Safari. When I don't have installed app on my phone, I can't see the banner on our product main page. When I installed the app, I can see the banner, which allows me to go directly to the app. When I put any other app's ID in the meta tag it works perfectly even if I don't have its installed app. So the code is right, what can be the reason of this behavior? Any settings of the app are required?

Add background.js to Safari App Extension
I develop a tab manager extension: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/tab-finder-for-safari/id6741719894 It's written purely in Swift. All Safari interactions are done solely inside a SFSafariExtensionHandler . But now i'm considering adding some features from Google Chrome's Extension API like window switching. Is it possible to add a background.js worker to my existing Safari App Extension to have access to the beginRequest method override inside SFSafariExtensionHandler? Without converting my extension from Safari App Extension to Safari Web Extenion?

WKWebView: Fullscreen API User Gesture Bypass
Howdy, WKWebView feature request: allow Fullscreen API without User Gestures similar to ElectronJS' userGesture: true flag that allows devs to bypass user gesture restriction for Fullscreen API and similar executeJavaScript(code[, userGesture]) https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents#contentsexecutejavascriptcode-usergesture afaik this is allowed because of a fairly recent update to Chromium that also allows users to give Fullscreen API permissions per domain https://chromeos.dev/en/posts/using-the-fullscreen-api-without-gestures Would be greatly useful for a use case in my cross-platform app, so I can avoid rewriting all platforms to use Chromium Thanks

PointerEvents on Safari on iPad with Apple Pencil Pro
Hi, I would like to share a finding and ask for a solution, if possible. This may be a potential bug with PointerMoveEvent on Safari on an iPad with Pencil Pro. I tested onPointerMove and onTouchMove in a <canvas> element in a React web app for freehand drawing using Mouse on a PC. Finger touch on iPad Apple pencil pro on iPad Finger touch on iPhone I was able to draw smooth curves in all cases except when using onPointerMove with Apple pencil pro on iPad. The curve drawn in this case looked like it was created using several straight-line segments. It seems like the sampling rate for PointerMoveEvent is lower than that of TouchMoveEvent on Safari I am not sure how to solve this problem or if it is an issue with Safari's interpretation of PointerEvents. Any input is greatly appreciated. Edit: It seems like https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/689375 is related.

Unable to Add Non-Standard Headers Using Declarative Net Request Rule (DNR) in Safari
We’re encountering an issue when trying to add non-standard headers to outgoing requests using Declarative Net Request (DNR) rules in our Safari Web Extension. Tested on macOS 15.4 with Safari 18.4. Specifically, when attempting to add a custom header such as "X-Custom-Header" using a DNR rule, the header does not appear in the request. We are able to add standard headers like "Authorization" and "Cookie" to the request successfully using the same method. This behavior suggests that Safari may be filtering or blocking non-standard headers when set via DNR rules, unlike other browsers. In Chrome and Firefox, the same rule adds the "X-Custom-Header" header without any issue. We are looking for assistance in fixing these issues and having our Safari Extension function the same as it does in Firefox and Chrome.
