I am reporting what appears to be a serious integrity flaw in Safari under iPadOS 26.3 (and lower) that materially undermines the reliability of Screen Time parental controls. This is not merely a UX inconsistency but a functional contradiction within a system explicitly marketed and positioned as secure parental control infrastructure. Device / Environment Device: iPad Air M3 13" (2025) OS: iPadOS 26.3 Safari (system version) Screen Time enabled with active restrictions Child account (10 years old) Background We deliberately chose an Apple device for school use based on the expectation that Apple’s system-level parental control mechanisms — especially Screen Time — are robust, tamper-resistant, and technically consistent. Screen Time is configured with: App limits Downtime Parental controls enabled with limited web content restrictions (school requirements prevent strict blocking) Safari enabled (mandatory for educational use) further parental control restrictions Because aggressive website blocking would interfere with legitimate school activities, monitoring Safari browsing history is a central supervisory mechanism. When Screen Time is active: Clearing the entire browsing history via Safari is correctly blocked. Clearing history via system settings is correctly blocked. The system explicitly communicates that deletion is not permitted due to Screen Time restrictions. This behavior establishes a clear user expectation: Browsing history is protected against manipulation. The Issue Despite the above safeguards, individual browsing history entries can be deleted easily and silently through the address bar suggestion interface. This creates a structural contradiction: Full deletion is blocked. Selective deletion — which is arguably more problematic — remains possible. Steps to Reproduce Enable Screen Time with restrictions that prevent deletion of browsing history (for example on a student device with a child account). Open Safari and visit any website. Confirm it appears in Safari history. Tap the Safari address bar. Type part of the URL or page title. Safari suggests the previously visited page below the address bar. Swipe left on that suggestion. A red “Delete from History” button appears. Tap it. Actual Result The entry disappears immediately: No Screen Time PIN required No authentication request No warning No restriction triggered No parental notification No audit trace visible Deletion occurs silently and irreversibly. Expected Result When Screen Time is configured to prevent browsing history deletion: Individual entries must not be deletable Deletion must require Screen Time authentication Anything else defeats the protective purpose of the restriction. Real-World Impact In practical use, this allows minors to selectively sanitize browsing history while preserving a seemingly intact record. In our case, this method is widely known among classmates and routinely used to conceal visits to gaming or social media platforms during school hours. The technical barrier to exploitation is negligible. This results in: A false sense of security for parents A discrepancy between advertised functionality and actual system behavior A material weakening of parental control integrity When a system explicitly blocks full history deletion but permits silent selective deletion, the protection mechanism becomes functionally inconsistent and unreliable. Given that Screen Time is publicly positioned as a dependable parental control framework, this issue raises concerns not only about implementation quality but also about user trust and reasonable reliance on advertised safeguards. Request Please classify this as a parental control integrity and trust issue. Specifically: Disable individual history deletion while Screen Time restrictions are active OR Require Screen Time passcode authentication for deleting single entries Screen Time is presented as a secure supervisory environment for minors. In its current implementation under iPadOS 26.3 and before, that expectation is technically not met. This issue warrants prioritization.

I'm using a CSS filter to achieve dark mode for my HTML page. I know it's imperfect, but I have no choice for many reasons. However, I found that the CSS filter produces incorrect colors in iOS 26.2 WebView, while it works fine in iOS 18.6.2 WebView. Here is my HTML and CSS filter: <html> <head> <style> .filter_container { /* invert colors for the entire page */ filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg); } .filter { /* restore colors for specific elements, such as img */ filter: hue-rotate(180deg) invert(1); } </style> </head> <body> <div>original & bgcolor+filter & img+filter</div> <table> <tr> <td> <div style="display:flex; gap:1px; align-items:center; justify-content:center;"> <div class="origin_container"><div class="origin" style="background-color:#FFFFFF; height:60px; width:60px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px;"></div></div> <div class="filter_container"><div class="filter" style="background-color:#FFFFFF; height:60px; width:60px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px"></div></div> <div class="filter_container"><img class="filter" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADwAAAA8CAYAAAA6/NlyAAAAdklEQVR4nOXOQQEAIACEMKR/57OFPliCnW0jRGIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkRmIkxt+B1y6HmAR0uIzOQQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==" style="height:60px; width:60px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px"></img></div> </div> <div style="text-align:center;">#FFFFFF</div> </td> ...many other colors </table> </body> </html> It works fine in iOS 18.6.2 WebView: But renders incorrectly in iOS 26.2 WebView:

Hi guys, I'm trying to use sign in with apple in javascript, I followed the guider in the website, and almost find everything I can find in Google, but nothing help, here is my situation: I create a new App: com.yuhan.test.app I create a new service ID: com.yuhan.test.service configure a domain and return url domain: tts.perterpon.com returnURL: https://tts.perterpon.com/login create a new key for Sign In with Apple. my html code is here, it's easy, but it always told me invalid_client, I think I have done anything I need to do, can somebody help me? Thank you so much. you can test my online web site: https://tts.perterpon.com/login.html ` const buttonElementNew = document.getElementById('appleid-signin'); buttonElementNew.addEventListener('click', async () => { try { const data = await AppleID.auth.signIn() console.log('Try/Catch Data', data.authorization.id_token); const formData = new FormData(); formData.append("token", data.authorization.id_token); await fetch("", { method: "POST", body: formData, }); // Handle successful response. } catch (error) { // Handle error. } }); </script>

Problem As the title says, Safari lost all my tabs once I updated to macOS 15.4. I do of course have "Safari opens with: All windows from last session" set. This has been my default for many years. Past Mitigation In the past I had a script that I could use to backup ~/Library/Safari that would save all my bookmarks and tabs. Unfortunately they made this method of backup non-function sometime around when tab groups were introduced. Suggestion Fortunately my tab groups are still intact. But this sort of problem doesn't give me a lot of confidence. I haven't had something like this happen in a while, but when it does happen, it's quite frustrating. Apple really needs to recognize that this sort of thing can and will happen and they should make it easier for users to manually save/restore their tabs. Problem with forums To add insult to injury, as I was typing this message in the forum, I decided to select "Edit Bookmarks"... which proceeded to replace the current window with my bookmarks, thereby losing my post! It did this without warning of page content changes (which I get from most other websites). I felt somewhat relieved that the forum had recognized a previous draft and offered for me to continue. However, when I selected it, it brought me back to an old post... that was actually posted! smh

We are experiencing a compatibility issue with our hybrid app related to the recent update in iPadOS 18.4, specifically concerning HTTPS connections. What are the key changes introduced in iPadOS 18.4 regarding HTTPS connections? Our app previously managed to bypass the DigitalSignature key usage missing error in the self-signed server certificate within the didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge method, as documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wknavigationdelegate/webview(_:didreceive:completionhandler:) . However, since the update to iPadOS 18.4, this method is no longer being called, resulting in direct failure of HTTPS connections. We are using cordova-ios 7.1. Thanks in advance for your help.

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? macOS 15.7.1 (24G231) Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100) iOS 26.1 (23B86)

Hi, I am developing an OpenType font with the following cursive feature. feature curs { lookup cursivejoinrtl; # RIGHT_TO_LEFT flag set between Hah, Meem, Yeh and final Meem lookup rehwawcursive; # RIGHT_TO_LEFT flag clear between Waw and Hah } curs; Here is the rendering of the word وحميم in TextEdit. Using HarfBuzz I got the following result. The same rendering problem occurs when using Safari. It seems that is related to Core Text. I reported the issue to Feedback Assistant over a year ago but haven't had a response yet. So I'm posting the problem on this forum. Any support on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m building a React Native iOS app where I’m integrating Wazo (native WebRTC) and Jitsi (WebView / WebRTC). Use case: Wazo is used to maintain a background call session (mainly signaling + audio keep-alive). Jitsi is used in the foreground for video calls. Problem: When Jitsi starts, it takes control of the microphone and camera. The Wazo call disconnects after ~5 minutes (likely due to media / audio session conflict). Even if Wazo audio/video is muted or tracks are disabled, the session still drops. My questions: Is it officially supported or recommended to run two WebRTC stacks (Wazo + Jitsi) simultaneously on iOS? Can Wazo stay connected without active audio/video tracks while Jitsi uses mic/camera? Is there a way to release Wazo media streams temporarily (but keep signaling alive) while Jitsi is loading or active? Are there any AVAudioSession / background mode limitations on iOS that make this impossible by design? If this is not supported, what is the recommended architecture (single WebRTC pipeline, switching media ownership, etc.)? Environment: iOS (React Native) Wazo SDK (native WebRTC) Jitsi Meet (WebView) CallKit + PushKit enabled Any guidance, documentation, or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 🙏

Please kindly improve the Safari browser side bar implementation further along with what The Browser Company has done with their Arc browser. Arc is about to retire soon too and they're willing to sell their SwiftUI code perhaps too for a decent pile of dollars, not the Jony Ive piles at least it should not. The toggle for side bar is nice and works perfect though!

Our current iOS application utilizes WKWebView to display a web application. We've observed intermittent deletion of non-expired 1st-party persistent cookies within this web application, leading to session drops. Here are our environment details and specific questions: Environment: App Build: Built with Xcode 16.2. WebView Class: WKWebView. Cookie Type: 1st-Party Persistent Cookie (Explicit expiration set, not a session cookie). Domain Configuration: The content server and the cookie-issuing server are the same (same IP address, same eTLD+1). The Cookie is set via the Set-Cookie HTTP Header on the server side. Questions: Automatic Deletion Policy: Are there any scenarios (e.g., related to iOS system behavior, Safari policies, or Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP)) where iOS or Safari might automatically delete non-expired 1st-party persistent cookies used by WKWebView? Deletion Conditions: If the answer to Q1 is Yes, under what specific conditions (e.g., memory pressure, inactivity, storage limits, specific ITP criteria) does this cookie deletion occur, and does the behavior differ significantly across various iOS versions? OS Update Impact: Are there any known specifications or documented cases where an iOS version update itself triggers the mass deletion of existing cookies stored in the WKWebsiteDataStore? Mitigation Strategy: If this automatic deletion is a known behavior, what mitigation strategies are officially recommended to ensure the persistence of essential 1st-party authentication cookies (e.g., manual synchronization with WKHTTPCookieStore or Keychain/UserDefaults)? Official Documentation: If the answer to Q1 is Yes, please provide URLs to any official Apple documentation or technical notes that detail the specifications or behavior of 1st-party persistent cookie deletion within WKWebView.

There does not appear to be any way to use or create iCloud passkeys with a Safari Web Extension, either using the navigator.credentials API in an extension origin webpage such as the popover, or using the AuthenticationServices framework in the SafariWebExtensionHandler. I've setup an associated domain for my plugin, and I know it works for the host application. But I get errors trying to do so in the web extension target. createCredentialRegistrationRequests results in the following error: Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1004 "Application with identifier <ID> is not associated with domain <RPID> The other problem, assuming the entitlement works correctly for the web extension, is that there is no NSWindow to use as the presentation target from the SafariWebExtensionHandler. Trying to use the navigator.credentials.create JS API (which is the preferred method, frankly, in a web extension) results in the following error: NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission. Chrome has a great solution for this that I believe should be adopted by Safari. If an extension has host permissions for a relying party it wants to claim, or if it has an associated domain entitlement for it, webauthn operations should be allowed.

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?

Hi there I've been having trouble finding any details around how safari is supposed to behave when a FairPlay license expires. My assumption was that the video segments would stop getting decrypted and playback would stop, however I just see that the playback continues like nothing has happened. I've setup the "fps_safari_has_key_renewal.html" sample code from the Fairplay SDK and got encrypted playback working. The renewal method also appears to work. However, if I don't issue a renew call, or if I wait several minutes after the renew has succeeded the video never stops (my license is set with a 1 minute expiry so I can test this quickly). I've also observed that the MediaKeySession expiration property is always set to NaN even though my license has an expiry. I've tried with both Lease and Rental expiries set in the license (separately AND at the same time in separate tests). I'm using EZDRM as my drm provider. Just looking for some feedback on if this is supposed to work this way in safari or if license expiry isn't supported in safari. Thanks!

Dear Apple Developer Support, We are currently developing a system that requires the ability to edit Japanese vertical text within the Safari browser on iPhone. During our investigation, we encountered an issue that matches the following WebKit bug: 283620 – Caret Positioning Issues in Vertical Writing Mode We understand that this issue is being addressed in the following pull request: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/39939 However, it appears that a complete fix has not yet been implemented. Given this situation, we would like to confirm the following: Is there any known workaround for this issue in iOS 17.5 or iOS 18.5 (the latest versions as of now)? If a workaround exists, could you please provide details? If not, could you share the expected timeline for a full resolution of this issue? Although this appears to be an open-source WebKit issue, we are reaching out to Apple because WebKit is tightly integrated with iOS and Safari, and ultimately delivered as part of the iPhone experience. Thank you very much for your support. Best regards, Takao Kurabayashi

Hi, we have PWA for which we´ve built a wrapper using PWA Builder tool and we are experiencing an issue with apple sign in. When we try to redirect the user to "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?...params...", a bottom sheet login prompt appears and only once the user signs in using the prompt he is then redirected to the url where he needs to sign in again and then we get the callback. We want to get rid of that bottom sheet prompt. The code we´ve tried: ` iosButton.addEventListener('click', function () { window.location.href = "https://appleid.apple.com/auth/authorize?client_id=xxxxx&redirect_uri=xxxxx&response_type=code%20id_token&scope=name%20email&response_mode=form_post"; });` The alternative code we´ve tried for which it seems that nothing happens, we only see the "Started" alert, we´ve confirmed that there is no other error : ` <script src="https://appleid.cdn-apple.com/appleauth/static/jsapi/appleid/1/en_US/appleid.auth.js"></script> <script> (function initAppleSignIn() { try { window.AppleID.auth.init({ clientId: "{{ env('APPLE_WEB_CLIENT_ID') }}", scope: "name email", redirectURI: window.location.origin +"/auth/apple/callback", usePopup: true }); } catch (e) { console.warn('Apple Sign-In init skipped:', e); } })(); function appleButtonClicked() { alert("Started"); try { const res = await window.AppleID.auth.signIn(); } catch (err) { alert("Got error"); } alert("Got here"); } </script>

I’m developing a Safari App Extension and I want to debug the background.js script. However, I can’t find any tool or option to do this. When I run the extension from Xcode using the ProjectName Extension (macOS) scheme, I expect to see a “ProjectName” item under the Develop → Web Extension Background Content menu. But there’s nothing there. Has anyone encountered the same issue? How did you fix it? Environment: Manifest Version: V3 Safari: 26.0.1 (21622.1.22.11.15) Xcode: 26.0.1 (17A400)

I'm working on a Safari web extension that uses the nativeMessaging facility to communication with native code. When I want to notify the javascript extension from the embedding application, I use SFSafariApplication::dispatchMessage. As per the documentation, this call ... ensures that Safari is launched and that your extension is running before delivering the message. Everything works fine when the background script is running. However, after the background script gets unloaded at some point in time (non persistent background page, default behavior for a manifest V3 extension), the background script is not reloaded by the message from the native app (background script still appears unloaded in the developer menu of Safari, double-checked using a counter stored in browser.storage.local incremented on message reception). In this case, the completion handler of the application gets no error (error == nil) as if the message was correctly delivered. I was able to reproduce this behavior with the sample app delivered for WWDC20 (after upgrading the manifest from v2 to v3 to make it non-persistent). Is it supposed to work ? What I'm doing wrong ?

I'd like to know the install state of my iOS safari extension in the associated swift app. Is there any way to get this? As we have seen it is available for macOS here, is there anyway to know iOS Safari extension is enabled or not? Thanks

Summary Recently a number of bugs affecting our Safari extension have been introduced with various Safari 18.X updates. We've submitted feedback for all of these, but most have received no response. We need to raise this to your attention as it has been affecting our developer experience and causing a lot of frustration for our users. It's something that adds a lot of uncertainty for us. These issues affect core web functionalities but seem to be isolated to the Start Page or Extension environments. For example: using window.open, no longer works using window.location.href = ... no longer works Including a tag in our start page causes infinite reloading to occur. registering a content script more than once will crash Safari Details Unable to open new window as as start page extension in Safari 18 FB15879470 What happens: Calling window.open does nothing. This broke our links to our feedback submission, marketing site & help site. When: Nov 18, 2024 - Initial launch of Safari 18 on macOS Status: Open, No response Unable to open app url scheme with window.location.href in start page extension in iOS 18 FB15879596 What happens: Changing the URL in this way does nothing (well actually it does work about 10% of the time). This broke our navigation to in app payment. When: Nov 18, 2024 - Initial launch of Safari 18 on iOS Status: Open, No response New tab extensions broken FB16126043 What happens: Having a tag in your causes an infinite loop of reloading the start page. This broke our entire start page extension. When: Dec 19, 2024 - Safari 18.3 on iOS beta Status: 10 similar tickets found, marked for future OS update. We did get a response and a fix is identified for a future release window.open opens “about:blank” when called from Start Page extension. FB16427985 What happens: calling window.open from the start page opens about blank on iOS 18.3. Similar to the first issue, but slightly different behaviour. This broke our links to our feedback submission, marketing site & help site. When: Jan 30, 2025 - Safari 18.3 Status: Open, No response Registering a content script more than once causes Safari to crash in macOS 15.4 beta FB16831768 What happens: We have an optional content script that we were registering every time it was used. Although somewhat redundant, it was much simpler than checking if one was already registered and tracking if an updated one needed to replace it. This works fine on all other browsers and all prior Safari versions we've released it on. However if a user enables site blocker on the latest version, as soon as they visit any website, our content script registration causes Safari to crash. Essentially preventing users from using Safari until they uninstall our extension. When: Mar 11, 2025 - Safari 18.4 Status: Open, No response In Conclusion Luckily we have been able to isolate and find workarounds for most of these issues so far, but we are not guaranteed to in the future. We are raising this not only to have these issues looked into, but to raise awareness of the rising trend of basic functionality of Safari extensions breaking with Safari updates. We hope that this can influence a shift in your QA & feedback intake practices to ensure these issues are less frequent in the future. We are happy to raise future issues through your provided channels as they are discovered. But to have our feedback ignored and then have to rely solely on workarounds to prevent disruptions to our users' experience is concerning. We submitted this feedback to our developer relations contact, and he suggested we submit a TSI to look into these issues. In response to this, we were advised to post this here.

Hello, We’ve been using the CesiumJS WebGL library for several years, both on our website and within embedded WebViews in our iOS application. Since upgrading to iOS versions 18.2 and 18.3, we’ve started receiving numerous user complaints regarding application crashes on various iPad and iPhone models when loading CesiumJS. The crashes occur as soon as the 3D view initializes, and the error consistently reported is: "WebGL context lost" This issue appears to be a WebGL-related crash potentially triggered by GPU memory handling or allocation limits. However, we are not detecting any abnormal memory consumption prior to the crash, and the same setup works perfect on older iOS versions and on all Android devices and versions. Steps to Reproduce: Open: https://www.flightradar24.com/30.47,-94.84/8 Click on any aircraft icon on the map. In the aircraft details panel at the bottom, click on the “3D view” tab. On iOS 18.2 or 18.3, the page will crash shortly after initializing CesiumJS WebGL. Affected Devices: This issue is occurring across a wide range of devices, including: iPad 9th Generation iPad Pro (11-inch, 2nd Gen) iPhone SE (2020 and 2022) iPhone 11, 11 Pro iPhone XR iPhone Mini All of the above are running iOS 18.2 or 18.3. The problem does not occur on Android or previous iOS versions. Request: Has anyone else encountered similar issues with WebGL context loss after upgrading to iOS 18.2 or 18.3? Are there any known changes in memory limits or WebGL behavior in these recent iOS updates? We’d appreciate any insight or suggestions on workarounds or potential fixes. Thank you!
