Hi, Our company has an application uses the WKWebview to host a lot of content. The content is web based and hosts a lot of charts and metrics. Because of the high content, we've seen the memory of the WebContent hit above 1.25 GB. When that happens, it'll eventually terminate and we have our recovery code to reload the same page Seems like the limit is hidden / internal. Some Apple devs also noted something might be hard coded to be limited as well. Yes, we have our optimizations but we still need to keep our queries, use react, cache, etc... It's just a heavy web application. Request: Can you help us raise that limit? Are there some limitations in Webkit for such a need to terminate? As some devices have much higher RAM than before, we were hoping to be able to dynamically adjust the limit for the wkwebview before it resets. We contacted our internal contacts but they said to post here.

I'm using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition to retrieve the users coordinates in a PWA built with Nextjs. getCurrentPosition is called by clicking on a button. If getCurrentPosition is called afterwards, the cached value is returned. On Safari, If I refresh the page, or logout, login and call getCurrentPosition again, the getCurrentPosition error callback is called with an error code 2 - POSITION_UNAVAILABLE. After around five minutes, getCurrentPosition can be called again. Is there some kind of throttling restriction on Safari navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition?

On iOS 18 only, I've been getting this error from the didFailToContinueUserActivityWithType in AppDelegate, the activity needed for universal links. It didn't happen on previous versions of it. Has anyone encountered this ?

When configuring a Per-App VPN payload with 250+ Safari domains under a managed app, the VPN does not trigger for the other managed apps(like chrome etc). However, the same VPN successfully starts and works when used with Safari. Reducing the number of Safari domains in the VPN payload resolves the issue, allowing the VPN to trigger for the managed app as expected. Has anyone else faced this issue, and what's the workaround for it?

Hi there, we have found a problem, after switching audio tracks multi times when play the HLS, there will be a few seconds of no sound playing after audio track switching, Is there a solution to this problem?

On Mac, If the user registers the Password and the Software Authenticator app for a website like PayPal then uses the Safari browser to login the Apple system is creating confusion. The system prompts to use the authenticator autofill for any grid like SMS OTP or even for the Email OTP. That creates confusion for the user as the SMS OTPs or other OTPs cannot be validated by auto filling the Authenticator TOTP. That fails the validation resulting in bad user experience. The system should not prompt the Autofill from the Authenticator app unless the grid box shown on the page was for the Authenticator app.

Need to connect HTTPS proxy (encrypt all data). If it is possible from iPhone or iPad through phone settings or special app?

Enhancement in managing tabs in Safari It would really be awesome to bring the fascinating tab management feature of Arc Browser to Safari across iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Especially below listed features; Multitask Create Organize Rev Up Release Notes For further info , here is the official link of Arc Browser, https://resources.arc.net/hc/en-us/categories/16435255982103-Features.

**Description: ** We have implemented a process to launch a native app from a browser (Safari) via universal links. However, under certain conditions, the app does not launch seamlessly, and an error page is displayed in the browser. In such cases, a button to open the app appears at the top of the error page, and pressing this button successfully opens the app. The error page is a blank white page with only the following error message displayed: "NoSuchKeyThe specified key does not exist." We want to confirm the detailed specifications and conditions of the behavior where seamless transition via universal links fails. If there are means to suppress or control the occurrence of this issue, please let us know. Configuration: OS: iOS 18.1 Device: iPad 9th generation, 10th generation **Reproduction Steps: ** When attempting to launch the app via a universal link, a pop-up appears asking "Do you want to allow this page to open ?" If 'Cancel' is pressed in this pop-up, the issue occurs the next time the app is launched via a universal link. However, we have also confirmed that this issue can occur due to operations other than this one, and we have not been able to pinpoint the conditions under which it occurs. Therefore, we would like to confirm the detailed specifications and conditions leading to the occurrence of this issue.

The web page image is not fully displayed, only part of it is rendered. Switch the app to the background and then to the foreground, and the incomplete image will be rendered correctly again.

We are Java application developers and we have a question regarding camera access via WebRTC on iPadOS. Specifically, on iPadOS 17.1, we are encountering an issue when trying to access the camera via the WKWebView API in the Chrome browser, where an error occurs and the camera capture fails. Our investigation suggests that device access through the navigator.mediaDevices property via the WKWebView API may not work in Chrome. However, it works as expected in the Safari browser, leading us to wonder if this is a Chrome-specific limitation, or if it's due to an iPadOS setting or specification. At this point, we are unsure if this issue is related to the WKWebView and WebRTC specifications on iPadOS 17.1, or if there are specific limitations in Chrome. We would appreciate any insights or solutions regarding camera access in iPadOS 17.1 with WKWebView and WebRTC, especially in relation to Chrome.

Safari 18.2 on Sequoia 15.2 sends repeated Authorization header when iCloud Relay is enabled and the page is reloaded. Inside Safari Preferences -> Privacy -> Hide IP address -> from Trackers and Websites (ensure this is enabled) Visit a website that uses HTTP Authorization and authenticate oneself Reload website a couple of times and it will result in an HTTP 400 error due to repeat Authorization header sent by Safari

Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with accessing device orientation and motion events in Safari on my iPhone (iOS 18). Despite trying several guides and solutions, I cannot find the option to allow access to motion and orientation for websites in the browser settings. I’ve checked privacy settings, and the device is up to date. Can anyone guide me on how to enable this feature in Safari or share any workarounds? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m encountering a problem with WebSocket connections in Safari on iOS 18.1 and later when initiated from an iframe. The same implementation works perfectly in other browsers like Chrome but fails in Safari. In Safari, the WebSocket connection fails with error message "WebSocket connection to 'wss://MY_CONNECTION_URL' failed: The internet connection appears to be offline." Has anyone else faced this? Is this a known limitation or bug in Safari? Any workarounds or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

When I download specific files (not limited to a single website), even if I find that the downloaded file size matches the original file size and the downloaded file size no longer changes, Safari still does not stop the download thread, but continues to wait indefinitely. This results in the Safari not terminating the download thread even after the file download is completed, making it impossible to complete the download; The file has not been landed and cannot be obtained. This prevents me from downloading some files. Please fix this problem. In addition, I found that in iOS 18.2, during the process of downloading files on Safari, the synchronization and backup flags appear in the upper right corner of the notification bar. I am not sure if this is an unexpected behavior, but the flag still lingers for a long time after manually canceling the download thread. (the download thread is waiting indefinitely) Feedback Number: [FB16124044]

If fetch is executed immediately after document become visible (on visibilitychange event), it will fail after 20-40s with TypeError with message Load failed. If it is executed after short delay after document become visible, fetch will likely to succeed.

It's being a very long time that I discovery that in some web pages, that use function requestAnimationFrame will cause a lot of cpu, but very little in Chrome. I have already submitted this bug nearly two years ago without printout requestAnimationFrame, no one replied. I submitted again and mention requestAnimationFrame recently, hope there will be some response. If anyone interested in this issue and know some tech in javascript please help. You can enter https://www.baidu.com/ and click one of the topic in all the 百度热搜 which have 弹幕滚动(using requestAnimationFrame, and cause a lot of cpu usage) on right.

We have a web application that uses high resolution images to validate the authenticity of products. For this purpose we want to use the best camera to make the high resolution camera, on iPhone Pro devices this camera is the ultra-wide angle camera. The issue we have is how to confidently select that camera from the list returned by navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices. We can't use the device ID as it change every time (and for every user), we could use the camera name but the string is translate to the device language which is very problematic. We could also just select a specific item in the list but we are not sure that the order is preserved and it makes it hard to deal with other iPhone models that don't have that ultra wide angle camera. Selecting a specific camera looks like an essential feature not only for us. What is the best option, we are looking for something that is future proof and easily scalable.

I'm making a Safari extension for learning languages. I need speech synthesis for any language the user chooses to learn. I initially tried to make this work within JavaScript, but Safari 18 doesn't reliably list voices for all languages on the web SpeechSynthesis API as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79179072/how-do-you-use-a-japanese-voice-with-speechsynthesis-in-safari-ios-18 As a workaround, I've had to use AVSpeechSynthesizer in SafariWebExtensionHandler (NSExtensionRequestHandling implementation for the extension). This works in the simulator but not on a real device. I've found this note from Apple in a StackOverflow reply: "Safari extensions are very short-lived, hence not fit for audio playback or speech synthesis. Not being able to validate an app extension in Xcode with a manually-added plist entry for background audio is the designed behavior. The general recommendation is to synthesize speech using JavaScript in conjunction with the Web Speech API." Unfortunately, the suggestion to use the Web Speech API is unsuitable as I just explained. Is there a way to set up a background process in the host app that can do speech synthesis? The app extension would need a way to communicate with this process, and start it if it's not running. Is that possible?

Hi, I have implement a WebRtc cameras server: IP camera -> ffmpeg -> WebRtc -> browser The video codec used is H264.
