Hello I am trying to release an app, dealing with storing, delivering, and maintaining outdoor activity euqipememts. On web, I used widget provided by TOSS, which is a Korean banking application. Due to lack of time I have use lazy method User taps the “Pay” button ↓ Backend generates a payment URL (Toss Payments) ↓ Open the payment page in an external browser (Safari) ↓ User completes the payment in Safari ↓ Return to the app via deep link (borini://payment/success) ↓ Call the payment approval API ↓ Display the payment completion page I have hear such method is possible for our type of service which deals with real life goods. So I would love to know if it is actually possible or will I have to make a new payment method using apple provided payment method in order to pass APP Store Connect review before releasing application

我使用Apple Pay on the Web Interactive Demo构建了一个web应用使用的是Payment Request API方式，但是遇到了几个问题： 拉起的web Apple Pay 底部一直转圈圈无法付款，这个是什么问题？ 如何设置sandbox测试付款呢？ 如何异步、同步获取支付结果（后端代码获取支付结果）？demo只有await response.complete("success");前端代码获取支付结果的操作 demo网址: https://shop.wowseer.com/rsolomakhin/pr/applepay/

We attempted to perform automated testing (using Python) on an 11th generation iPad (iPad A16) using Selenium 4.38.0, but we were unable to capture webpage screenshots using the function "driver.save_screenshot(filename)". However, this issue did not occur on an iPad Air 4. During our debugging of the "WebDriver.py" script, we found that after issuing the screenshot command, a status value of 500 was returned, accompanied by an "unknown error". We have communicated with the Selenium team and provided the main Python code(https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/16555). They suggested that the problem likely lies within the SafariWebDriver, rather than in the "remote_webdriver.py" file. Additionally, we tried using the SafariWebDriver provided by Safari Technology Preview, but the problem persisted.

Actually this is a duplicate for https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/106537 but in web-specific forums section. Is there any video/audio codec best practices, guides, recommendations for app/web developers for best performance (take advantage from HW acceleration), power consumption saving? What are officially supported media containers? What are video encoding profiles, video dimensions, frame rates? The only official source I have found is https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/delivering-video-content-for-safari?language=objc. But h264 is pretty old. I experimentally found that the VP9 video format is also supported on iOS newer versions. But is this a requirement? Сan i be sure that the video will play on all devices? My goal is to provide web media content (which will be rendered in my application using WKWebView API) that will be supported by most devices (both iOS and MacOS), takes advantage of such features as hardware decode acceleration and be efficient. Any hints/info is highly appreciated. Best regards.

Hi, it seems that with iOS26 the system displays two entries in the screentime report for apps that use a WKWebView: one for the app itself and one for the website that was displayed in the app. We don't see this behaviour in iOS18.7. I'm reseaching how to disable the recording for the webviews in one of our apps (written in Swift with UIKit). The STWebpageController looked promising, especially the field suppressUsageRecording, but the whole class is poorly documented. We initialized it with the bundle identifier of the app and set the url of the wkwebview as the url in STWebpageController. It looks a bit like this: webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: config) view.addSubview(webView) //setup STWebpageController webpageController = STWebpageController() do { try webpageController!.setBundleIdentifier(bundleIdentifier) } catch{ } webpageController!.suppressUsageRecording = true addChild(webpageController!) view.addSubview(webpageController!.view) webpageController!.view.frame = view.frame webpageController!.didMove(toParent: self) //load url in webView let request = URLRequest(url: url, cachePolicy: .reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData) webview.load(request) webpageController?.url = request.url This has no effect on the recorded screentime for the webview inside our app - we still see the same time for the container app and the included webview. Any suggestions? Thanks, Heiko

iOS 18.4 introduces the new WKWebExtension API to support extensions in WKWebView. However, for extensions that have migrated to Manifest V3 and use an extension service worker as the background script, it's currently not possible to inspect them through Safari. This is only thing I can see, I don't know how to inspect the details of the "background.js" I'm wondering—has this changed? Is it now possible to inspect extension service workers?

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

After reading several posts I see that I need to add the "com.apple.developer.web-browser.public-key-credential" capability to my macOS app in order to get it to work. So my noob question is where do I request this capability? Can I as a developer request it or does the Account owner need to request it? Once approved, how do I add it to my app's capabilities? Thanks for your patience

Hi everyone, I'm exploring the new app icon appearance options (Clear, Dark, Tinted) for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS26, iPadOS26, and macOS26. Currently, PWA icons don't seem to render well with these new appearances, particularly in Clear and Tinted modes, resulting in very very poor visual quality. You can hardly see anything. Has support for these icon appearances been fully implemented for PWAs? If so, could someone point me to the relevant Apple Developer documentation or provide guidance on how to configure PWA icons to support Clear, Dark, and Tinted appearances? I've searched the Apple Developer Forums, Stack Overflow, and Reddit but haven't found clear information on this topic.A possible solution is a png file with transparent areas, but if the pattern is dark, nothing will be visible in dark mode. Any insights or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! (plz don't give up on PWA😭) Reference: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/761615 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78780916/is-there-a-way-to-provide-light-dark-and-tinted-variants-of-apple-touch-icon https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html

I have an iOS app that generates and renders a custom HTML document inside a UIWebView. After updating a device to iOS 26, the same HTML is rendered with noticeably smaller fonts compared to previous iOS versions. No code or HTML changes were made. Context HTML is generated dynamically and rendered in a UIWebView The HTML is embedded inside a custom XML wrapper The issue happens only on iOS 26 Earlier iOS versions render the font size correctly

We are currently implementing the payment flow, and for handling payment details — including card entry and validation — we are utilizing a WKWebView. The webview securely loads the payment provider’s page, ensuring sensitive information such as card numbers are entered and validated directly within the web context. I’d like to clarify that this change has not yet been released to Production. As part of a feature enhancement to our existing payment flow, we are transitioning to a new payment vendor, SnapPay. While trying to load the SnapPay URL embedded within an iFrame in our iOS app, I observed the following error in the Xcode console. While this error may be generic, I wanted to highlight it: 825a18 - [pageProxyID=7, webPageID=8, PID=67346] WebPageProxy::didFailLoadForFrame: frameID=24, isMainFrame=0, domain=NSURLErrorDomain, code=-999 Upon investigating, we compared the headers from our existing payment URL and SnapPay's URL, and found that SnapPay includes the following Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header: Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors ... "Content-Security-Policy" value="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://hcaptcha.com https://.hcaptcha.com https://code.jquery.com https://www.gstatic.com https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js https://test.lightbox.cardx.com/v1/lightbox.min.js https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/andi/ https://c.evidon.com 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' https://hcaptcha.com https://.hcaptcha.com https://fonts.googleapis.com/css https://stage.snappayglobal.com/Resource/ https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/andi/andi.css 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: https:; font-src 'self' *.googleapis.com *.gstatic.com ; connect-src 'self' https://demo1.cditechnology.com https:; form-action https://hcaptcha.com https: 'self' *.ipg-online.com secure.bluepay.com https://test.api.lightbox.cardx.com https://3ds-acs.test.modirum.com/ https://demo1.cditechnology.com/; frame-ancestors https://snappaydirect-perf.fiserv.com 'self' file: https: http; frame-src .snappayglobal.com 'self' https://hcaptcha.com https://.hcaptcha.com https: https://www.google.com .ipg-online.com secure.bluepay.com https://.cardconnect.com https://test.api.lightbox.cardx.com/ https://test.lightbox.cardx.com https://paywithcardx.com/payment/auth.cgi securepayments.cardpointe.com *.cardpointe.com https://3ds-acs.test.modirum.com/ https://www.yokohamatire.com http://uat1-txt.ad.portal.texas.gov https://uat1-txt.ad.portal.texas.gov " After multiple working sessions with the SnapPay team, we were able to confirm that when they disable CSP or remove the frame-ancestors directive, the iFrame loads successfully within our app. However, SnapPay cannot change on their CSP. To enable the iFrame to load in the iOS app, we added the following line of code: webView.configuration.preferences.setValue(true, forKey: "allowFileAccessFromFileURLs"). This resolved the issue with loading the iFrame. Note: the file being loaded is a local .html file,. Before submitting this update to the App Store, I’d like to confirm whether this usage of allowFileAccessFromFileURLs is acceptable for App Store review. I wanted to confirm that with this change is there a security concern for WKWebview?

If we use webView.loadFileURL(indexURL, allowingReadAccessTo: readAccessURL) on an iPad it loads the data and navigation works. But if we place two hands on top of the screen and move a bit, all click events are not working anymore. It works again if we call loadFileURL again. We filled a bug report: FB19812304

正文：大家好， 当设备连接到没有互联网的 Wi-Fi SSID（例如，硬件设备的 AP）时，我看到 NSURLSession（multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive）和 WKWebView 之间的行为存在令人费解的差异。我正确启用了多路径授权，在这种情况下： NSURLSession 请求会自动回退到蜂窝网络并成功（无需用户干预，快速切换）。 WKWebView 加载失败或停滞：Web 内容未出现，即使系统网络路径得到满足并确认了真正的 Internet 可访问性，Web 视图似乎也没有使用蜂窝路径。 环境： iOS 版本：（例如 iOS 18.4） 设备：（例如 iPhone 15 Pro） 多路径权利：在应用程序中启用，使用 NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive 连接的 SSID：硬件设备 Wi-Fi，无需外部互联网 预期回退：一旦 Wi-Fi 没有互联网，就会自动到蜂窝网络，如 NSURLSession 所观察到的那样 我做了什么/观察到什么： 使用多路径的 NSURLSession 按预期工作：NSURLSessionConfiguration *cfg = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];cfg.multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive;NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration：cfg];NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL：[NSURL URLWithString：@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]];NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [session dataTaskWithRequest：req completionHandler：^（NSData *data， NSURLResponse *resp， NSError *err） { NSLog（@“NSURLSession result： %@， error： %@”， resp， err）; }];[任务简历];连接到设备 Wi-Fi（无外部 Internet）时，会话会悄悄地切换到手机网络并成功完成。 相同情况下WKWebView加载失败：[self.webView loadRequest：[NSURLRequest requestWithURL：[NSURL URLWithString：@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]]];Web 视图要么显示负载失败，要么只是挂起，即使较低级别的监视报告网络路径已满足并且真正的 Internet 连接可用。 网络路径监控逻辑： 我使用 C API nw_path_monitor来监视nw_path_status_satisfied。 一旦观察到满意，我就会使用nw_connection（例如，连接 tohttps://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html）执行真正的连接检查，以验证真实的互联网流量是否可以通过蜂窝网络流动。 该检查通过，确认回退到手机网络，但 WKWebView 仍不会加载内容。同时，相同条件下的 NSURLSession 请求会立即成功。 示例日志记录跟踪：[+] nw_path_status_satisfied=1， hasWiFi=1， hasCellular=1 [+] Internet 连接测试：准备就绪（通过 nw_connection） [-] WKWebView 加载失败/停滞 [+] NSURLSession 请求成功完成 问题： 为什么当 Wi-Fi 没有 Internet 时，具有多路径服务类型的 NSURLSession 无缝使用蜂窝网络，但 WKWebView 不表现出相同的回退行为？WKWebView 是否不以相同的方式接受系统的多路径回退？在这种情况下，它是否使用不同的网络堆栈或忽略多路径授权？ 是否有一种受支持的方法可以强制 WKWebView 像 NSURLSession 一样运行？ 例如，我是否可以通过启用多路径的 NSURLSession 桥接内容，并通过自定义方案将其注入 WKWebView？ 是否有任何 WKWebView 配置标志、首选项或策略启用相同的自动接口切换？ 与原始 NSURLSession 相比，WKWebView 处理网络接换、路径满意度或多路径的方式是否存在已知限制或记录在案的差异？ 我排除/尝试过的： 已验证多路径授权是否包含且处于活动状态。 确认的网络路径“满足”，并且在调用 [webView loadRequest：] 之前，真正的 Internet 可访问性成功。 将 WKWebView 加载延迟到连接验证之后。 观察到 NSURLSession 请求在相同的连接条件下成功。 任何对内部差异、推荐的解决方法或 Apple 推荐的模式的见解，以使 Web 内容在“没有互联网的 Wi-Fi”+ 自动回退到蜂窝场景中变得健壮，我们将不胜感激。 谢谢！

現在新しいWebViewを使ってwebページを読み込むiPadプログラムを作成中ですが、読み込んだ後に部分のボタンをタップしても何も起こりません。safariで通常通りページを開いてボタンをタップするときちんと写真ライブラリ・カメラで撮るなどのポップアップが表示されます。下記がコードです。Webページは単純化のためにのみを配置しています。 struct SwiftUIWebView: View { @State private var webPage = WebPage() private let url = URL(string: "https://www.****.com/")! var body: some View { WebView(webPage) .onAppear { // URLを読み込む webPage.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } } } 何か追加のコードが必要なのでしょうか？

Our UI-less share extension (com.apple.services) appears in Safari and Chrome. We raise a popup "Open in (app)..." via the Action.js script document.location.href = urlScheme://... in Safari. However, in Chrome, while our extension executes, parses the URL item attachment from Chrome, it never triggers that popup or opens our app. How can a UI-less share extension open our app from Chrome? Is the accepted practice, despite guidelines, turning the com.apple.ui-services view controller invisible and auto-openURLing? Several apps on the store appear to do this, immediately popping their app without any confirmation dialog or UI in both Safari and Chrome. https://stackoverflow.com/a/79369242

Cross posting from Spatial Computing, apologies if this is not the appropriate forum. The purpose is to create a simple web-based gallery of spatial photos and videos using static html files. I have successfully displayed spatial photos using the img tag and IMG.heic files. I can tap and hold the image to bring up the contextual menu and from there select View Spatial Photo. Is there any way to add a control to the image, like a link or overlay on the image itself, that a user can simply tap to show the image in 3D? And how to host a (small!) video file on a web page without going through a CDN/streaming service? Sample html would be much appreciated.

I created a form field using: On Safari and Chrome desktop, it behaves as expected. Safari shows the current date in grey by default, and Chrome displays a format hint like dd.mm.yyyy, which is perfectly fine. On iOS, however, the field appears completely blank. I understand that the placeholder attribute is not part of the iOS date input behavior, which is technically fine. Still, it would be helpful if developers had the option to define a default display value. In the past, browsers prefilled date inputs, but many developers objected because they needed the field to be empty by default. I have searched extensively and tried several AI tools, and everywhere it says that this cannot be changed. Am I missing something, or is there any way to display a placeholder, the current date, or some kind of visual hint in iOS Safari? Right now, the empty field creates poor UX because users may overlook it. Since the field is required, this can easily lead to validation errors and additional friction. As a workaround, I used a CSS hack with input[type="date"]::before and a content attribute. I also added JavaScript to toggle a pseudo-placeholder value specifically for iOS. Is there a cleaner solution that avoids this workaround? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Hello there, Credit card autofill works in Safari when accessing the checkout on my website, but does NOT work when the same page is loaded in a WKWebView within the my iOS mobile app. is there any way I can make it work?

Hi Apple Devs & WebKit Team, We operate https://excnum.com — a personal website currently under reconstruction. It's HTTPS-secure, hosted on a clean VPS, and now features a simple placeholder page with no active forms, scripts, or external redirects. However, Safari on both iOS and macOS is flagging it as a “deceptive website”, blocking all access. This warning appears even though: The site uses a valid SSL certificate via Cloudflare There are no redirects, tracking scripts, or dynamic code We serve a static landing page (“under maintenance”) with zero interaction No malware, phishing, or obfuscation exists — verified with multiple tools A review request has already been submitted at: https://websitereview.apple.com We believe the site may have been blacklisted previously under past ownership or prior configurations. It has since been completely restructured and cleared, but the Safari warning persists. This false flag is harming visibility and trust for an otherwise neutral website. Any advice on how to expedite re-evaluation or request a manual delisting from the deceptive site list would be much appreciated. Thank you! — Alex Admin, EXCNUM.COM

In WKWebView, there is the WKUIDelegate method: func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, createWebViewWith configuration: WKWebViewConfiguration, for navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, windowFeatures: WKWindowFeatures) -> WKWebView? {} This delegate method provides a callback when a new window (for example, target="_blank") is requested in the web view. However, in native SwiftUI (iOS 26), WebView / WebPage APIs do not provide an equivalent delegate method to handle new window requests. As a workaround, I am using the following method: public func decidePolicy(for action: WebPage.NavigationAction, preferences: inout WebPage.NavigationPreferences) async -> WKNavigationActionPolicy {} In this method, when action.target == nil, I treat it as a new window request. My question: Is relying on action.target == nil in decidePolicy a reliable and future-safe way to detect new window requests in SwiftUI’s WebView, or is there a better or more recommended approach for handling target="_blank" / new window navigation in the SwiftUI WebView APIs? Code: public func decidePolicy(for action: WebPage.NavigationAction, preferences: inout WebPage.NavigationPreferences) async -> WKNavigationActionPolicy { guard let webPage = webPage else { return .cancel } // Handle case where target frame is nil (e.g., target="_blank" or window.open) // This indicates a new window request if action.target == nil { print("Target frame is nil - new window requested") // WORKAROUND: Until iOS 26 WebPage UI protocol is available, we handle new windows here // Try to create a new WebPage through UI plugins if handleCreateWebPage(for: webPage, navigationAction: action) != nil { // Note: The new WebPage has been created and published to the view return .allow } } return .allow }
