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!

Description When creating an Apple ID via the web form, if the user’s chosen password contains their own name, the server correctly returns an error (e.g., "Password cannot contain your name") in the PUT request's JSON response. However, this error is not shown on the frontend, leaving users unaware of why the form silently fails or stalls. Steps to Reproduce Go to the Apple ID account creation page (https://appleid.apple.com/account). Enter valid account details where the password includes the user's first or last name (e.g., Johnacb2331!l for a user named John Doe). Complete all fields, including phone number verification and captcha. Submit the form and monitor the Network tab in your browser’s DevTools. Observe that the form appears to hang, loop, or silently fail. Open the PUT request to /account — the response JSON will contain the relevant validation error (e.g., “Password cannot contain your name”), but the user is not shown this. Expected Behavior The password validation error (e.g., containing the user’s name) should be immediately displayed in the UI next to the password field to inform the user and allow for correction. Actual Behavior No error is shown in the UI. The form appears to fail silently, leaving the user confused. The actual reason for failure is only visible through browser developer tools in the PUT response payload. Impact This can lead to: User frustration and confusion Increased support overhead Poor UX in a critical flow (account creation) Environment Browser: chrome 136.0.7103.114 Platform: Web (https://appleid.apple.com) Date observed: 31/5/25 Suggested Fix Ensure that password validation messages from backend responses surface in the frontend, especially for common user input issues like including names in passwords. No screenshots as I can not create a new account

Hi everyone, We're facing a challenge with Apple's WKWebView and its WKAppBoundDomains limit. Our web app is hosted across multiple dedicated domains to ensure security and isolation for our customers. Additionally, we rely on a service worker to provide offline functionality within our app. To enable the service worker in our WebView app, we must specify the domains within the app-bound domains list. The issue we're encountering is the 10-domain limit, which is restrictive since our app needs to support access to more than 10 domains. Has anyone found a workaround for this limitation? Or does Apple provide any exceptions to this rule if a strong case is presented? We’d greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thanks in advance!

Hello. In Safari there are no eorking nee skins or walpapers!

When the iCloud Passwords Chrome extension is on, there is a 400-500ms lag between clicking on a non-password field and the UI reflecting any changes made by a .on("focus") jQuery listener. When the extension is disabled, there is no lag. See below the performance profiles for the same 4 click events. Extension ON: Extension OFF:

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing regarding critical issues we are facing with Safari web push notifications in our application iLiveMyLife.io, which is severely impacting our ability to maintain reliable communication with our users. Issue Description: We are experiencing persistent problems with Safari push notification tokens expiring or becoming invalid without any notification to our server. This creates several critical issues: Users stop receiving notifications without any indication of failure Our notification delivery system has no way to detect token expiration The expiration appears to happen frequently (seemingly almost daily in some cases) There is no reliable mechanism to re-establish push communication without users manually revisiting the app Technical Impact: Our messaging functionality becomes completely unreliable We must resort to email or SMS as fallback mechanisms, which is not feasible for a real-time communication platform This makes building any reliable messaging application on Safari practically impossible The Broader Context: What makes this situation particularly challenging is that all potential alternative browser APIs that could help address this issue appear to be deliberately disabled or restricted in Safari: Background Service Workers don't function in the background on iOS Safari Background Sync API is not supported WebSockets cannot operate when the app is closed There's no way to programmatically check the validity of push tokens The combination of these limitations creates a situation where developers have no viable technical path to build reliable notification systems for PWAs on Safari. This appears to be a systematic restriction rather than individual API limitations. Requested Information: Is there a recommended approach to detect Safari push token expiration? Are there alternative notification mechanisms for PWA applications on Safari that offer more reliability? Is there documentation on the lifecycle of Safari push tokens that could help us implement proper handling? Are there plans to improve the Web Push API implementation in Safari to address these reliability issues? Could you clarify if these limitations are intentional design decisions or technical constraints that might be addressed in future updates? Business Impact: This issue fundamentally undermines our platform's core functionality. For a collaborative tool, reliable notifications are essential - users cannot collaborate effectively if they miss updates because their push tokens silently expired. The current state creates confusion among our users, who don't understand why they suddenly stop receiving notifications. Any guidance or assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. We're committed to providing an excellent experience on Safari, but the current push notification limitations make this extremely challenging. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Ilya

My app sends users notifications of important messages in the app. How can I make sure the user receives them?

Apple Pay fails with an "AbortError" when the dialog for the fingerprint sensor opens. How do I find the cause of the "AbortError" which only occurs in the web integration in our production environment? In the sandbox environment, Apple Pay works flawlessly. This concerns a web integration of Apple Pay using the Apple Pay SDK, one version before 1.2.0. The error occurs when I call the show() method on the PaymentRequest object. The Apple Pay dialog opens with the fingerprint icon, but after one second, an exclamation mark appears, and the Apple Pay dialog closes again while throwing the "AbortError". I know that our Apple Pay integration worked for multiple customers in the production environment already. The current problem is that Apple's error message, called "AbortError," provides no indication of the cause. This could be greatly improved. One affected customer, for example, is the one with the Merchant ID … (Is it safe to post a Merchant ID in this forum?) I can reproduce the "AbortError" issue at any time using my iPhone with iOS 16.7.8.

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.

Hi there, I have a problem that , after I add website at dock but unable to turn on the website from dock & pop up message also mention that app was damaged. This problem appears after I factory reset my iMac. Please kindly advise. Thank guys.

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 am studying a possible scenario. Let's say I create an App Clip that features a WKWebView. The WKWebView hosts a sort of webapp that uses local storage and IndexDB. When the complete app is installed, are the data persisted so the WKWebView of the complete app finds them as it was reading them before? Are the data transferred by the operating system to a new location but still accessed the same way by the WKWebView (Or even the location is the same because it is the WKWebView special storage)? Or are they wiped out? Thank you in advance Best regards

Having the app localised and configured to Dutch from Belgium (nl_BE), I open a url with WKWebView. The website locale detects Dutch from Netherlands (nl_NL)

I have a UI application built with the Vue framework, using Vuetify for the UI components. There's a div with the class v-application--wrap, which is provided by Vuetify. This class internally includes the following style rule. .v-application--wrap { backface-visibility: hidden; display: flex; flex: 1 1 auto; flex-direction: column; max-width: 100%; min-height: 100vh; position: relative; } The pages were rendering correctly up to version 18.3, but after upgrading to version 18.4, we encountered layout issues related to height. Upon investigation, we discovered that the min-height property was no longer being interpreted or applied correctly. Replacing min-height with height resolved the issue, and the pages began loading as expected. Any insights into why this behavior is occurring would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Team, We are trying to upload a file or an image using the component WKWebView. How we can do it? Should we need to use another approach? Do you have any suggestion or any demo project? Thanks in advance!

Merhaba ben Müslüm İkuz blog sayfam için Safari tarayıcıdan siteye çok fazla istek geliyor. Sayaçlara girdiğimde uygulama safari olarak gözüküyor ve binlerce sayfa isteği gelmiş. Bu bir siber saldırı mı ? site adress https://ikuz.com.tr/

I'm trying to set up a smart app banner for my app, but it doesn't appear on the website when I try to test it. I have the meta tag on my website: <meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=6740216045" /> When I inspect the website, I can see that the meta tag is showing up in the head, but the banner is nowhere to be found. I tried clearing website data but still no dice.

Hi, I’m working with the SFExtensionProfileKey in my Safari Web Extension. As I understand it, this key is to get the UUID of the profile currently in use. However, it seems to be missing (no key in userInfo) when the default profile is active. Also, I haven’t found any API to get a profile’s human-readable name or list all available profiles. Could someone clarify: If the value of SFExtensionProfileKey is absent, can I safely assume the default profile is in use? Is there a supported way to get a profile’s display name? Does Safari expose an API for getting all profiles? Thanks in advance for your insights!
