My team is attempting to use an an add-in for Outlook for Mac that stores a Microsoft account access credentials in safari, so that it can refresh the credentials in the background and not force users to manually re-login every time the credentials expire. The update to safari that prevents local storage has prevented this from working correctly. It appears that the local storage prevention policy can be disabled with this command:
'defaults write com.apple.Safari BlockStoragePolicy -bool false'
This initially seemed to work but no long seems to be allowing the credentials to be stored. I was unable to find any documentation as to what exactly this command does. I wanted to see if anyone knew exactly what this command does and if there is a variation or alternative command that would make local storage in safari allowed again.

Description
I've seen this issue when I use WKWebView in SwiftUI. If I have 2 web views at once in a SwiftUI view, it produces unwanted console warnings that seem to be not solvable on client side.
The warnings aren't present when there is only 1 web view.
Similar warnings regarding the "running board" or RBSAssertionErrorDomain are reported by others as well.
Please advice how to dismiss these warnings in the app. Thank you.
Repro Steps and Code
Create a new iOS project.
Put the following code into ContentView.swift. It wraps a WKWebView in SwiftUI and display some dummy html data in the web views.
Build and run the app.
Tap the info button.
Drag down or dismiss the sheet. Upon dismiss, in the console it prints the error messages attached below.
import SwiftUI
import WebKit
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var isInfoViewPresented = false
@State private var selectedIndex = 0
func makeErrorHTML(index: Int) -> String {
#"<!doctype html><html><h1 style="text-align: center;">Unable to display README.</h1></html>"#
}
var body: some View {
VStack(spacing: 8) {
Text("Hello, world!")
Button {
isInfoViewPresented = true
} label: {
Image(systemName: "info.circle")
.imageScale(.large)
}
.sheet(isPresented: $isInfoViewPresented) {
sheetContent
}
}
}
var sheetContent: some View {
NavigationStack {
ZStack {
WebView(htmlString: makeErrorHTML(index: 0))
.background(Color(uiColor: .systemGray))
.opacity(selectedIndex == 0 ? 1 : 0)
WebView(htmlString: makeErrorHTML(index: 1))
.background(Color(uiColor: .systemGray2))
.opacity(selectedIndex == 1 ? 1 : 0)
}
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .principal) {
Picker("Information Mode", selection: $selectedIndex) {
Text("0").tag(0)
Text("1").tag(1)
}
.pickerStyle(.segmented)
}
ToolbarItem(placement: .confirmationAction) {
Button("Done") {
isInfoViewPresented = false
}
}
}
}
}
}
struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
/// The HTML to load in the web view.
let htmlString: String
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
// Creates an empty web view.
let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero)
// Sets the web view's navigation delegate.
webView.navigationDelegate = context.coordinator
return webView
}
func updateUIView(_ webView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
// Loads the given HTML string.
webView.loadHTMLString(htmlString, baseURL: nil)
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator()
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, WKNavigationDelegate {
func webView(
_ webView: WKWebView,
decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction,
decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void
) {
switch navigationAction.navigationType {

Problem Description:
In the current scenario, I am dealing with a website platform that lacks traditional APIs for service access. To circumvent this limitation, the mobile application necessitates hosting a "web server" locally on "ws://127.0.0.1:****". The idea is that the website, loaded in a WKWebView, should establish a WebSocket connection with the locally hosted server. The responsibility for creating this WebSocket lies with the loaded website.
I am utilizing "Telegraph" to set up the local server within the iOS application. To verify the functionality of the local Webserver, I attempted to establish a WebSocket connection to it outside of the WKWebView, and the connection was successfully established.
Question:
Despite the success of the direct WebSocket connection outside of WKWebView, I am encountering difficulties when attempting to establish the same connection within the WKWebView. Is this approach even feasible? If it is, could you kindly point out any potential oversights or provide guidance on what might be missing in my implementation? Your assistance in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated.
One Line Summary
Notification.permission is incorrectly reported as "default" on iOS App Webs, this happens when tapping on a notification that results in a new "window" being opened via clients.openWindow.
Why this is is important to fix
This is confusing to the end-user as sites will check Notification.permission and see it is "default" and then attempt to show the end-user a soft notification permission prompt again.
Steps to reproduce the issue
On a iOS 16.4 or newer device open https://ios-webapp-notification-new-window-permission-bug.glitch.me in Safari
Tap share button
Tap "Add to Home Screen"
Open the iOS Web App you just added
Tap "Prompt Notification permission"
On the iOS native notification permission prompt press "Allow"
Tap "Display notification"
Tap on the notification
[Safari/iOS Bug] Observe Notification.permission reports as "default" when it should be "granted"
What devices are affected
I have reproduce this issue on an iPhone 14 Pro on both iOS 16.7.2 & 17.1.2. However I would expect all iOS 16.4+ devices to be effected.
Hi
I use JSObjectMakeTypedArrayWithBytesNoCopy(JSContextRef ctx, JSTypedArrayType arrayType, void *bytes, size_t byteLength, JSTypedArrayBytesDeallocator bytesDeallocator, void *deallocatorContext, JSValueRef *exception) to create a JSObjectRef, and [JSValue valueWithJSValueRef: inContext:] to create a JSValue. I then pass the JSValue to the JSContext.
I have noticed that even if I don't pass the JSValue to the JSContext, the JSTypedArrayBytesDeallocator is always called after the deallocation of the JSContext. In my understanding, it should be released by the JS garbage collection when there are no references to it.
Since I have a large amount of data to pass to the JSContext, if the JSTypedArrayBytesDeallocator is called too late, it may cause memory issues. Where am I mistaken in this case?
Thanks.
I am writing a midi polyfill, to bridge Core Midi with Safari. This, in itself, is not a problem. The problem is that the Web Extension will get suspended the moment it's no longer actively called. This means that no callbacks due to midi changes from core midi can be passed back to the web page.
If I use a setInterval call in background.js, then this keeps the extension alive somewhat, but the setInterval self ping will get aborted eventually, making the Extension suspend itself.
I know of a fairly contrived workaround using the container application over XPC, but I am hoping there is a way to keep the Web Extension alive - or at least keep a thread in the same process as the Web Extension alive. Or any such workaround. Setting background to "persistent": true does not seem to make any difference.
Static resources on my website do not use the cache-control header. (without cache-control header)
Recently, we have been receiving a lot of issues from iOS 17 users that seem to be related to cache.
Has the default cache-control header changed in Safari on iOS 17?
Issue: The image file mime type got converted to HEIC by Safari
To reproduce:
Create an HTML file with <input type="file" accept="image/*,image/heic" />
Try to upload a photo with .jpeg or .png
Print out the file object
The file name would be changed to some temporary name with .heic extension
Expected:
The conversion should not happen after adding the image/heic to the accept mime type.
The accept mine type with image/heic should be allowed and cannot be removed for other modern browsers which do not support .heic. Otherwise, the system browse dialog would disable .heic type.
Other findings:
If image/heic is removed from the accept mime type, the file object would be printed out as its original extension.
It only happens with Safari 17+.
Original file object:
File: {
lastModified: 1702417372000,
name: "leo2.jpeg",
size: 170584,
type: "image/jepg",
webkitRelativePath: ""
}
Converted file object:
File: {
lastModified: 1702417636000,
name: "tempImageHjyd3l.heic",
size: 170429,
type: "image/heic",
webkitRelativePath: ""
}
Any page that has a JavaScript function named "top()" in it causes JavaScript to fail.
The function doesn't need to be called or even contain anything.
eg.
function top()
{
}
JavaScript just locks up.
This affects iOS17.2 and macOS 14.2
If occurs in Safari and any app using WKWebView
This is a critical bug that affects sites and apps in the wild. I suggest there is something very wrong with the Javascript engine in general if certain function names can cause such a failure.
Does anyone else have other function names that cause this failure?
Hi, the application I maintain consists of WKWebView which gives you the ability to stream videos. Since iOS 17, when you disconnect the headphones on iPad, the stream stops working and cannot be restarted (regardless of whether it is the lightning or jack port). The only solution is to kill the application from the task manager and start it again. This situation does not occur for regular video. There is no error logs in console.
on our web pages we have allowed certain sources of scripts though content-security-policy meta tag which is working fine as expected on Chrome browser and on Internet Edge.
However there is a script called morosa.top when it inserted in our html page, safari is not able to block it while it was supposed to block.
if this script gets executed it start taking screenshots of screen and post it to hacker.
Please check this could be a potential issue.

I have a Website live on http://chatwithsanta.azurewebsites.net/
It uses Flexbox to show chat messages and a chat message input.
Specifically, the Body is a flexbox container with a message screen containing messages, and a message input form at the bottom.
This layout works in Chrome on desktop, even when Chrome is set to simulate an iPhone 12 Pro layout.
But the form does not appear on my own iPhone.
What should I do?
Hi Safari team,
I am a product manager working for a large content recommendation company. Our JavaScriot SDK is running on more than 9000 leading publishers worldwide and has been certified to be aligned with global legal and privacy regulations and guidelines.
We have the following problem:
Since the launch of Safari 17 (in iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS) - we can see our JavaScript SDK blocked when the user uses the private browsing mode
Safari 17 sometimes identifies our loading and rendering JavaSctipt files as any request/action by our domain to be a tracking activity (we see the JavaScript files in the console tagged with “Blocked connection to known tracker” log)
In previous Safari versions, we only got the tracking functionality blocked, allowing our content to render
We have the following questions:
Can JavaScript running in Safari detect the user has the privacy mode turned on?
Was there something specific in Safari 17 “Tracking Protection” functionality that now blocks content rendering on the page in addition to tracking activity?
Context:
We can run our JavaScript without performing any form of tracking, either directly by my domain or any other 3rd party vendor we are working with.
We will render our content without performing any form of tracking or fingerprinting
We are already following Apple’s iOS IDFA guidelines. Our iOS SDK, for example, detects and respects when the user opts out from sharing the IDFA on an iOS app running our code. In that case, we show our content without breaching the App Tracking Transparency framework rules.
Besides sponsored content, our JavaScript SDK also powers organic recommendations for our clients. With Safari 17 blocking anything in private browsing mode, we see unfair interference with organic engagement.
Please let us know if you provide guidance to allow our JavaScript SDK to render content when the user uses the private browsing mode, adhering to the privacy requirements.
Thank you for helping!
Omri.
iOS 17 Safari will not successfully open .reality (Reality Composer) files from a weblink.
For example, this code works fine on iOS 16:
The same code generates this message on iOS 17 after clicking on the link:
"Object requires a newer version of iOS." QuickLook fails to render anything.
I validated that the .reality file works fine when opened from iOS 17 Files app, so it's not a damaged file.
I have created a scene using THREEJS that loads GLTF files and image-format tile maps. When I repeatedly destroy and rebuild the scene, I notice that the memory keeps increasing in the Safari browser, but the same code performs normally in the Chrome browser. I have ensured that I properly dispose of all relevant resources when destroying the scene.
THREEJS Version: r138
Google Chrome Version: 119.0.6045.200
Safari Version: 17.0(19616.1.27.211.1)
Is there anyone who can give me some advice? Thanks！！！

Hi,
With Safari Technology Preview Release 185 (Safari 17.4, WebKit 19618.1.9.8)
the compiler seems to struggle with unpack4x8unorm() instruction (at least).
https://www.w3.org/TR/WGSL/#unpack4x8unorm-builtin
Repro code: https://skal65535.github.io/webgpu/bug_unpack.html
This modified version of 'hello triangle' should display a single triangle
but doesn't. Uncommenting line 51 makes the triangle appear.
Actually, adding the instruction:
_ = unpack4x8unorm(0xdeadbeef);
anywhere in the code triggers the bug, no matter if the line is used or not.
