We have implemented a content blocker using the Safari Web Extension, which can be toggled on or off as needed. However, we've noticed that changes in the Safari browser take effect only after the page is reloaded again. This behaviour has been observed across all simulators as well as on iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 16.7.8. Is this due to a delay in the JS file rules updation on simulator and lower devices?

Hello, dear Apple community I have WordPress website: https://fritzboxwelt.de/ I was using Google Chrome to access the website dashboard. For some reason, I shifted from Chrome to Safari, but now I am facing errors when logging in. What should I do now? Is it a website issue or my browser settings are not okay? It will be great to hear from you.

While analyzing iCloud Private Relay traffic using my App's content filter (based on NEFilterDataProvider), I noticed a couple of items that piqued my curiosity and wanted to see if I could get more information here. Namely, when accessing a HTTP site via iCloud Private Relay, there is an initial flow established to UDP port 80 and an unspecified IPv6 address (i.e, '::'). This seemed odd for a few reasons: IPv6 is disabled on the system and the site I'm connecting with only has an IPv4 address. Also, the unspecified IPv6 address seems strange in general. In the documentation, iCloud Private Relay claims to only use UDP port 443 [1][2]. Could you provide more clarity on how this works in the background? Would it also be possible to confirm whether UDP port 80 should be included in any filtering logic concerning iCloud Private Relay? Note: in case this isn't the general behavior for iCloud Private Relay, I wanted to further clarify that this is the behavior I've seen in Safari 17 on Sonoma and Sequoia, when accessing websites via HTTP, with Safari's "Use advanced tracking and fingerprinting protection" enabled.

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with my Safari extension on iOS 18. When trying to access images using browser.runtime.getURL(), it doesn't work as expected. The same code works on iOS 17 and earlier versions. Here's my manifest file and code snippet. "web_accessible_resources": [ { "resources": [ "html/*.html", "images/*.png", "images/*.gif", "images/*.svg", "json/*.json", "fonts/*.ttf", "css/*.css" ], "matches": [ "<all_urls>" ] }, "images/fs_loading.svg", "images/status_protected.svg", "images/safe_check_icon.svg" ] `var status_ok_svg = browser.runtime.getURL("images/status_protected.svg");` Note: Image all are added in Images folder only

My Safari extension (based off a Chrome one) is working fine in a Mac OS Safari version but when I try to run it on the phone I'm experiencing some bugs in communication with the backend, which I cannot troubleshoot because when I click on Develop > my_phone > Safari Extension Background Content I don't see any logs in there. Where the background logs are supposed to appear? How can I find them? I don't see them in Xcode either.

Hello everyone! I have encountered a problem that the print function does not work correctly in any browser on devices with iOS, if you save a web page in PDF format, then the hyperlinks from this page are not saved, they just disappear, maybe this is not very important problem for everyone, but I find this an inconvenient problem.

I was able to obtain the URL in iOS 17+ and lower versions by using the browser.tabs.getSelected method in background.js, and it was successful. I upgraded to iOS 18 and now this function is returning 'Undefined'. As a result, the Safari Extension feature is broken. Is this browser.tabs.getSelected no longer available or deprecated as of iOS 18? As an alternative, browser.tabs.query functions. is a useful substitute for that.

We have tested on iPhone 12 Pro and observed that Safari allowed approximately 1.5GB of RAM usage. Page refreshes when trying to allocate more memory. After performing a hard reset and erasing all content, I noticed that Safari allowed approximately 3GB of RAM usage for our webpage. However, after 2-3 days, the maximum allowable RAM usage in Safari decreases to about 1.5GB. Once 1.5GB limit is reached, the system reloads the page. To further investigate, I performed another hard reset on my device, and once again, Safari allowed around 3GB of RAM usage. Additionally, we tested this on iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, where the RAM limitation in Safari is consistently around 3GB (page is reloading after reaching 3GB). Could you please clarify why the memory limit fluctuates after hard reset? Is there any specific setting or flag within Safari or iPhone that controls the maximum RAM usage, which could be causing this behavior? I also posted the issue there: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277848 I would appreciate any guidance or potential solutions to this issue. If this is a known limitation or issue, understanding the root cause would be extremely helpful. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi, We are running a React application as a pod on a Kubernetes cluster with an Nginx Ingress, which needs to make requests to a server running Apache. On Safari only (all other browsers are fine) and on all browsers on iOS, the React application is unable to get a response from the Apache server. We can see the server is responding and we can see the pod is getting the responses too, they are all logged as 200 on both sides. Here is what we are able to see in the developer tools on Safari: The also console logs "Failed to load resource: The network connection was lost." We have tried solutions such as this and this, as well as many other solutions we could find on various forums but nothing worked so far. I repeat myself here: this only happens on Safari on desktop and on all browsers on iOS, other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox are unaffected. Has anyone ever ran into a similar issue or have an idea about how to fix this?

Hello! I've been maintaining a Cordova-based calling application for years. Cordova uses a webview to show the user interface and has a bridge for calling native iOS API from JavaScript. The application uses CallKit and VoIP push notifications to handle the calling functionality. Before the iOS 17.5 update, calling worked relatively stable. However, starting from this version and on, Safari instantly force-closes all open websocket connections when the "Answer" button on the calling UI is hit. So, basically, the call ends right after it answers, because in our case websockets are crucial for the SIP negotiation process. Firstly, I inspected the Safari console, and there is a new red error saying: WebSocket connection to 'wss://home.thirdlane.com/wss' failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. Software caused connection abort. Secondly, I checked the Xcode logs, and there are several warnings saying Invalidating grant <invalid NS/CF object> failed every time the call is answered. And, I'm afraid this is all that I have to cling to. I managed to mitigate the effect by connecting the websockets only when the call is answered and the application is focused. However, this approach has its own drawbacks and doesn't solve all the problematic cases. I must mention that the behavior has slightly improved in iOS 17.6 – now the websockets are cut after the "Answer" button hit whereas in 17.5.1 they were cut in ~3 seconds after the VoIP push regardless of whether the answer was made. This looks like a Safari/WebView bug to me and I would like bring it to the Apple's attention. I've never filed a bug before, so hopefully this is the right place to write. I can provide more logs or vidoes upon request. Thank you!

Is there a way to detect if the user has tapped on "Turn Off Content Blockers" option on safari in ios or get a callback from the same?

I am a student at Utah Valley University doing a UX Research project involving spatial web browsing on Safari. I am trying to determine if spatial video and photos would be supported on a safari web page while using the AVP. I am not a developer, so my knowledge of that front is limited, but I am hoping to get any insight into if that feature would be able to be implemented into a web based experience. If so, what formats would need to be used? Is the MV-HEVC format able to be directly embedded? Or is there another format that needs to be explored? Any insight is appreciated!

Hi everyone, when My project (Angular 5) running in Safari Browser, we have a download function, it's download the excel file, end with .xlsx, but when running in low version Safari version, it will have a popup, that is not my project did, it blocked be safari itself, you can check the image, my question is how to hide the 'View' button or directly download instead of show the popup?

I am experimenting with drag-and-drop on iPadOS. If I drag a JPEG image from a webpage in Safari to my app, I get items of types public.jpeg and public.url. Typically, the URL is the URL of the image. If, however, the image is itself a link, then the URL seems to be the target of the link. Is there some way that I can always get the URL of the image itself? Is there some way that I can determine whether the URL I have received is the URL of the image or of a link?

We have implemented content blocking using Safari web extension, it blocks the content but after reloading the current page about 3-4 times the blocked content re-appears, how can we fix this issue?

I'm encountering a TypeError in FormMetadata.js on Safari, primarily affecting iOS 17.5 and later versions. The error message is as follows: TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'this._logicalFormForControl(e).formElement') This issue seems to be specific to recent iOS versions, particularly on Safari. Has anyone else experienced this problem or have insights into what might be causing it? Any suggestions for potential workarounds or fixes would be greatly appreciated. Additional details: Occurs consistently on iOS 17.5+ devices Mainly affects Safari browser Error is thrown in FormMetadata.js Thank you in advance for any help or information you can provide.

When opening the 3D model in Augmented Reality on Safari, the model initially displays correctly. However, when attempting to move, resize, or rotate it, the device screen freezes along with the Augmented Reality view, and sometimes it crashes the application. This same model does not have any issues when opened in Chrome. Has anyone experienced something similar, and if so, do you know how to resolve it?

I have a React website that uses getUserMedia to capture user audio. I'm displaying this website in an iOS mobile app using UIWebView in SwiftUI. The audio is correctly captured when the app is in focus. However, when the app goes to the home screen and runs in the background, the microphone audio gets cut off. This issue does not occur when the website is opened in iOS Safari. Here's my Info.plist and .entitlements file. I granted most, if not all, permissions for both files in an attempt to get it to work, but it still doesn't resolve the issue. Info.plist audio bluetooth-central bluetooth-peripheral external-accessory fetch location nearby-interaction processing push-to-talk remote-notification voip Entitlements.plist com.apple.developer.push-to-talk: true com.apple.developer.spatial-audio.profile-access: true inter-app-audio: true

There is a change log in Safari 18 Beta mentioning that you can now via MDM control Safari's extensions state and make an extension be enabled after you've installed it - "Added support for Device Management of extension enabled state, private browsing state, and website access on Managed Devices. (113051857)" However I could not find any documentation for it, I need to know what to set in my plist/mobileconfig file. Does anyone know (or maybe apple is here as well and can help) where would this be documented? Thanks!

Are there any Apple Pencil Pro specific events in Mobile Safari? The interesting ones are hover, so we can know that it is about to touch the screen squeeze, ideally where we can provide a list of icons and actions to take. Failing that, providing a filter so we can show just the Apple-approved actions that a given web app supports
