Is there any supported mechanism in Safari Web Extensions (MV3) for capturing or logging network request data (like fetch, XHR, or webRequest) triggered by the web page?

Enabling Private Relay seems to block XHR in Safari from reaching a local HTTPS server hosted by an iOS app, though it works in other browsers. Before (working): JS → https://local.example.com → 127.0.0.1 → OK After (blocked / no DNS reply probably): JS → https://local.example.com → ERR Is there any way to restore local domain access or mitigate this issue?

We confirmed a problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version. For confirmation, we made a HTML document (see below HTML1) what include ‘method="POST" target="_blank"’ and tested the form however server received GET method and there is no parameter, server did not receive “id” parameter. We confirmed that fact in captured packet and log file that on the server. HTML1: We also made another HTML document (see below HTML2) what include submit button, but the server received GET method as above. HTML2: And we also confirmed that it behaves differently depending on the network environment. If the form targets a name that does not exist (ex. target=” A12345”), behaves differently http or https. http: Safari opened new tag, but the server received GET method. Normally, Safari open new tag and the server receive POST method. https: Safari opened new tag, and the server received POST method. It is normally. If the form targets ‘_blank’, the server received GET method on http or https both. We think Safari change the method POST to GET and delete parameters. It is not conformed to the HTML specification if is that true. We confirmed it was not happened at Safari on iPadOS 17.4, and Windows PC (Edge, Chrome). The method what the server received is POST. We find same problem in Apple Support Community (see below URL). https://discussionsjapan.apple.com/thread/255987615 (Described in Japanese) Is it a bug in Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version? Do you have plan to fix? Or if fixed the bug, when do you release fixed version.

I have a business scenario where I want to guide users to Safari and open a Safari extension. How can I open Safari from my app and navigate to a specific webpage?

Based on the "Build immersive web experiences with WebXR"-Video for visionOS there is no way to disable the consent prompts for entering an immersive experience or consent hand-tracking. For the microphone it's possible to "greenlight" specific websites for mic input, which works great. I'd welcome it, if it were possible to add specific websites in the settings, in which those consent dialogs aren't shown each time. In my opinion, the user interaction through a button that launches the experience would be sufficient to not disorient.

I am using SFSafariViewController to process payments via a Stripe checkout URL. Once the payment is completed, the user is redirected to a success URL. I have also added associated domains for deep linking. Below is my implementation: func presentCheckout(url: String) { showProgressHUD() let checkoutURL = URL(string: url)! safariVC = SFSafariViewController(url: checkoutURL) safariVC.delegate = self self.present(safariVC, animated: true) } // Delegate method implementations func safariViewControllerDidFinish(_ controller: SFSafariViewController) { print("SafariViewController dismissed") // Handle dismissal } func safariViewController(_ controller: SFSafariViewController, initialLoadDidRedirectTo URL: URL) { print(URL.absoluteString) if URL.absoluteString.contains("xsworld/payment/stripe/checkout/success") { controller.dismiss(animated: true) { if URL.absoluteString.contains("/v1/resources/xsworld/payment/stripe/checkout") { NotificationCenter.default.post( name: Notification.Name("StripePaymentStatus"), object: nil, userInfo: ["url": URL] ) } } } else if URL.absoluteString.contains("xsworld/payment/stripe/checkout/cancel") { // Handle failure NotificationCenter.default.post( name: Notification.Name("StripePaymentStatus"), object: nil, userInfo: ["url": URL] ) } } func safariViewController(_ controller: SFSafariViewController, didCompleteInitialLoad didLoadSuccessfully: Bool) { if didLoadSuccessfully { print("Initial page loaded successfully") } else { print("Initial page load failed") } } Issue: The safariViewController(_:initialLoadDidRedirectTo:) method does not always get called after the payment is completed. Sometimes it works as expected, and sometimes it does not trigger at all. What I’ve Tried: Ensuring the associated domains for deep linking are correctly set up. Checking the success and failure URLs. Debugging to see if the redirect happens but is not detected. What I Need Help With: I want to ensure that the redirection always works after the payment process is completed, whether through deep linking or another reliable approach. How can I guarantee that my app correctly detects and handles the redirect every time? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Our UI-less share extension (com.apple.services) appears in Safari and Chrome. We raise a popup "Open in (app)..." via the Action.js script document.location.href = urlScheme://... in Safari. However, in Chrome, while our extension executes, parses the URL item attachment from Chrome, it never triggers that popup or opens our app. How can a UI-less share extension open our app from Chrome? Is the accepted practice, despite guidelines, turning the com.apple.ui-services view controller invisible and auto-openURLing? Several apps on the store appear to do this, immediately popping their app without any confirmation dialog or UI in both Safari and Chrome. https://stackoverflow.com/a/79369242

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!

WebAuthn can be used in Safari, but when using it with WKWebView, you need to set the default browser definition (com.apple.developer.web-browser). Is this correct? Also, is it possible that the terms of use will change or that it will no longer be available in WKWebView in the future?

While implementing Apple Maps into our web application, I have a scenario where I want to be able to drag and move some of my custom annotations around. While that is working, when "picking up" the annotation before dragging it, there is an animation which I believe is to represent the human interaction of picking up a pin from a map, I would like to cancel that animation and thought that would be possible by calling preventDefault() in the emitted long-press event, which the documentation states that annotations should emit if they are draggable. The thing is that I don't get this event to emit when long pressing an annotation. So I believe that I have found a bug. It's in this paragraph in the documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/handling-map-events#Respond-to-map-interaction-events A long press occurs on the map outside an annotation. A long press may be the beginning of a panning or pinching gesture on the map. You can prevent the gesture from starting by calling the preventDefault() method of the event. Annotations need to be draggable to dispatch long-press events. In anybody else experiencing this or do you see any clear fix for this? Maybe there is another way to cancel that "picking up the annotation for dragging" animation. I have seemed to try anything else.

I’m encountering an issue with CSS not displaying when using WKURLSchemeHandler to load local HTML files. When I package the app using Xcode 15.3 or above, the CSS styles do not display on iOS 17 or higher. However, on iOS 16.7.1, the CSS displays correctly. • If I use Xcode 15.2 to package the app, the CSS loads and displays correctly on all iOS versions. I am using WKURLSchemeHandler to intercept and load the local HTML files. Is there any known issue or workaround for this? You can now post this in the “Safari & Web” section of the Apple Developer forums for further assistance! // // CustomURLSchemeHandler.m // HTMLTest // // Created by lvxue on 2024/9/23. // // CustomURLSchemeHandler.m #import "CustomURLSchemeHandler.h" @implementation CustomURLSchemeHandler - (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView startURLSchemeTask:(id<WKURLSchemeTask>)urlSchemeTask { NSURL *url = urlSchemeTask.request.URL; //NSString *filePath; NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:@"LoaclHtml.bundle/A4"]; if ([url.lastPathComponent hasSuffix:@".css"]) { filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"style" ofType:@"css" inDirectory:@"LoaclHtml.bundle/A4/css"]; } else if ([url.lastPathComponent hasSuffix:@".js"]) { filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"yourJSFileName" ofType:@"js" inDirectory:@"LoaclHtml.bundle/A4/js"]; } NSData *htmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; NSString *mimeType = [self mimeTypeForPath:filePath]; NSURLResponse *response = [[NSURLResponse alloc] initWithURL:url MIMEType:mimeType expectedContentLength:htmlData.length textEncodingName:@"utf-8"]; [urlSchemeTask didReceiveResponse:response]; [urlSchemeTask didReceiveData:htmlData]; [urlSchemeTask didFinish]; } - (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView stopURLSchemeTask:(id<WKURLSchemeTask>)urlSchemeTask { } - (NSString *)mimeTypeForPath:(NSString *)path { NSString *fileExtension = [path pathExtension]; if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"html"]) { return @"text/html"; } else if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"css"]) { return @"text/css"; } else if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"js"]) { return @"application/javascript"; } else if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"png"]) { return @"image/png"; } else if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"jpg"] || [fileExtension isEqualToString:@"jpeg"]) { return @"image/jpeg"; } else if ([fileExtension isEqualToString:@"gif"]) { return @"image/gif"; } return @"application/octet-stream"; } @end code-block

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.

We would appreciate it if you could provide the detailed flow of recurring payments and the unsubscribe process using the Apple Pay JS API, specifically in cases where the PSP decrypts the Apple Pay token before sending it to the payment gateway. Thank you very much for your kind assistance.

Hi. I'm a developer of Tab Finder (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tab-finder/id6741719894) My problem is that every time i switch from my first window to a second window, the tabs in the validateToolbarItem() are INcorrect on a first call, but when I switch back from the second window to my main window, the tabs are CORRECT even on a first call. To demonstrate it, i recorded a video: https://youtu.be/RwskzrSJ8u0 To run the same sample extension from the video, you can get the code from this GitHub repo: https://github.com/kopyl/test-tabs-change Its only purpose is to log URLs of an active page of all tabs. The SafariExtensionHandler's code of the sample app is very simple: import SafariServices func printOpenTabsHost(in window: SFSafariWindow) async { let tabs = await window.allTabs() log("Logging tabs for a new window: \(window.hashValue)") for tab in tabs { let page = await tab.activePage() let properties = await page?.properties() let url = properties?.url log(url?.absoluteString ?? "No URL") } } class SafariExtensionViewController: SFSafariExtensionViewController { static let shared = SafariExtensionViewController() } class SafariExtensionHandler: SFSafariExtensionHandler { override func validateToolbarItem(in window: SFSafariWindow, validationHandler: @escaping ((Bool, String) -> Void)) { Task { await printOpenTabsHost(in: window) } validationHandler(true, "") } override func popoverViewController() -> SFSafariExtensionViewController { return SafariExtensionViewController.shared } } Could you please tell if i'm missing something and how to see the actual tabs inside the overridden validateToolbarItem call of the SafariExtensionHandler (or in any other way, I'm okay with any implementation as long as it works).

Hello, I was going through the Apple Pay API documentation and noticed ambiguity on the exact process to complete merchant validation. One of the documentation mentions that the validation url will be Your server posts a request using mutual TLS (mTLS) by calling the Apple Pay server’s Payment Session endpoint. Endpoint (Global) POST https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession Endpoint (China region) POST https://cn-apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession Referencing the url: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/apple_pay_js_api/requesting_an_apple_pay_payment_session whereas the other references that the value should be used as provided by the onvalidatemerchant event object with the property validationURL. Refer: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/apple_pay_js_api/providing_merchant_validation Can someone confirm which is the correct approach to follow ?

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?

How can i add Authorization header to a wkwebview. I checked https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsurlrequest#1776617 which says Authorization header is a reserved http header and shouldn’t be set. I want to set it when requesting a url to the server which will be used for verification. How can i do that?

I've a apple pay integration on my website. The new sdk, that allows third party browsers. My integration works well everywhere, except on third party when I read the QR code it results in a "payment incomplete". I have gone through several threads in apple dev forums, and several guides on implementation steps and troubleshooting. But I'm still without solution. When Debugging in iOS device I get: "Application failed to provide a valid merchant session. We can't proceed to authorize the transaction." I've doublechecked, the values I send to create the payment Session are correct, the domain and merchantIds. (It works well with the same implementation on safari, what's the difference here?) I've also doublechecked the values i'm sending to the completeMerchantValidation, and they are all in the right format and types. What else can iIcheck?

Chrome's Incognito mode can not open app from universal link on iOS. It's opened a web page instead of launching the app even the app already installed on the iOS device.
