Apple Script to Automate Web Page Plot Data
Can someone please help me: I do not have the brain space (85yo) to figure out an Apple Script or Java Script app to do this simple task. I have spent a few hours each day, over several days, and have made zero progress on such an apparently simple task. I wish to create an Automator App for the macOS Safari browser that will schedule (via a Calendar Event) the download of the 48hr data behind the hourly Fuel Mix Plot Data from the AEMO Web Site, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Here is the link to the AEMO web site: AEMO, Energy Systems, Electricity, National Electricity Market (NEM), Data (NEM),Data Dashboard https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem The 48 hour hourly Fuel Mix data is found by selecting the "Fuel Mix" button (which by default will display the NEM Current Trend). The 48 hour trend is displayed by tapping on the small "Current" pulldown menu, and selecting "48 hrs". The 48hr Data is down loaded by selecting the small circular button just to the right of the pulldown menu. a) AEMO Web Site: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem b) Main Menu, and underlying html, c) Fuel Mix menu, Pulldown list, DownLoad button, and underlying html, I am familiar with C++ and have built Xcode Apps, and used Excel Macros extensively in the past. Thank you. Robert.

WKWebView fails to render custom app fonts in macOS 26 beta 5
This post is an effort to draw attention to a regression in Tahoe that has a large impact on our app. This bug was filed during seed 3 but remains open: FB18869578: Regression: WebView fails to render fonts registered with CTFontManagerRegisterFontURLs or ATSApplicationFontsPath The gist of it is that WKWebView fails to render text that is styled with a “font-family” that references a font that has been loaded into the app using either the ATSApplicationFontsPath Info.plist key or loaded dynamically with CTFontManagerRegisterFontURLs. The area where the text should be is just blank. There is more detail and a reproducer in the bug referenced above. We really hope this bug can get fixed before GA.

Launching MacOS app via Url Scheme
I'm looking for answer or documentation on gatekeeper and launching a MacOS app via a url scheme/custom protocol. Our application is delivered via a zip file downloaded from the web. We utilize a url scheme. The act of extracting the app from the zip registers the url scheme with the OS. From previous research/testing we found we had to break the gatekeeper lock (have the user move the app from the downloaded location) to ensure that the url is honored on first launch of the application. To ensure user compliance, we added a check to make sure that the lock has been removed by looking at the quarantine attribute. This flow is not ideal. I am looking for alternatives and was previously under the impression that if we were to move to a DMG then that would provide the user a better user experience for moving it. However, now that I am getting around to looking into it, I am seeing some implied statements that this is not the case and that the quarantine bit will just be moved from the DMG to the app. Questions: Does a DMG allow the app to be launched via custom protocol without prior launch or movement? With a notarized app, will the custom protocol work on a subsequent launch, even without prior movement?

Accessing WKNavigationAction.sourceFrame.request crashes
Hi all, I'm currently working with WKWebView and implementing the WKNavigationDelegate protocol. In particular, I'm trying to inspect the sourceFrame of a WKNavigationAction to make navigation policy decisions based on the frame's URL path. Here's the relevant Swift code inside decidePolicyFor: public func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, preferences: WKWebpagePreferences, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy, WKWebpagePreferences) -> Void) { // ... let sourceFrame: WKFrameInfo = navigationAction.sourceFrame let request: URLRequest = sourceFrame.request // <- SIGABRT occurs here // ... } The issue is that the app crashes with a SIGABRT at runtime when attempting to access sourceFrame.request. According to Swift's type system, neither sourceFrame nor its request property are optional, so at first glance this seems safe. However, the crash report suggests otherwise. From the crash log, it appears that the issue arises during the bridging from Objective-C to Swift: Thread 1 Queue : com.apple.main-thread (serial) #0 0x00000001a127a030 in static Foundation.URLRequest._unconditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC(Swift.Optional<__C.NSURLRequest>) -> Foundation.URLRequest () #1 0x00000001056c48b0 in CustomWebViewController.webView(_:decidePolicyFor:preferences:decisionHandler:) #2 0x00000001056c4c78 in @objc CustomWebViewController.webView(_:decidePolicyFor:preferences:decisionHandler:) () #3 0x00000001b8c66e0c in WebKit::NavigationState::NavigationClient::decidePolicyForNavigationAction () #4 0x00000001b8fd14dc in WebKit::WebPageProxy::decidePolicyForNavigationAction () #5 0x00000001b8fcfc7c in WebKit::WebPageProxy::decidePolicyForNavigationActionAsyncShared () #6 0x00000001b8fcfb18 in WebKit::WebPageProxy::decidePolicyForNavigationActionAsync () #7 0x00000001b87ddaa0 in WebKit::WebPageProxy::didReceiveMessage () #8 0x00000001b869f474 in IPC::MessageReceiverMap::dispatchMessage () #9 0x00000001b878dda4 in WebKit::WebProcessProxy::dispatchMessage () #10 0x00000001b878d614 in WebKit::WebProcessProxy::didReceiveMessage () #11 0x00000001b869e7e4 in IPC::Connection::dispatchMessage () #12 0x00000001b869e358 in IPC::Connection::dispatchIncomingMessages () #13 0x00000001b9a96a44 in WTF::RunLoop::performWork () #14 0x00000001b9a96688 in WTF::RunLoop::performWork () #15 0x00000001a2428b9c in __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ () #16 0x00000001a24289b4 in __CFRunLoopDoSource0 () #17 0x00000001a2428810 in __CFRunLoopDoSources0 () #18 0x00000001a2429190 in __CFRunLoopRun () #19 0x00000001a242ad4c in CFRunLoopRunSpecific () #20 0x00000001ef705454 in GSEventRunModal () #21 0x00000001a4e45890 in -[UIApplication _run] () #22 0x00000001a4e10cec in UIApplicationMain () #23 0x00000001a4ef261c in ___lldb_unnamed_symbol275689 () #24 0x00000001059a5104 in static UIApplicationDelegate.main() () #25 0x00000001059a5074 in static AppDelegate.$main() () #26 0x00000001059a82ec in main () #27 0x00000001c940af0c in start () This implies that while Swift treats sourceFrame.request as non-optional, the underlying Objective-C implementation may actually return nil—leading to a crash when the non-optional Swift type attempts to force unwrap it. My question: Is there a way to safely access navigationAction.sourceFrame.request —- or determine if it’s nil—before Swift attempts the implicit bridging from Objective-C? Or is there an established workaround for safely inspecting this property? Any guidance or best practices for avoiding this crash would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

SIGABRT on WebKit macOS 15.3.2
The application I'm currently working on uses WebKit. Based on the crash analytics, we have noticed that some of our users are experiencing an unusual behavior in the app's WebKit view with macOS 15.3.2. These errors are reported for this version of the OS. The error in the crash log is a SIGABRT error, but there is no relevant information available to address it. In some crash logs, we found this error: "NSInternalInconsistencyException: Returned WKWebView was not created with the given configuration" but there is not any particular way to address it. Is there a way to identify the cause of this error? Alternatively, has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution?

header and footer positions shifted in Safari tab settings
Thank you for supporting me. My environment Device: iPhone 15 Pro OS: iOS 26.0 Public Beta (23A5336a) In iOS 26, three types of tabs were added to Safari. Depending on the option, the behavior of the fixed header and footer can be unstable. *Tab settings can be changed in the iOS Settings app under "Apps -> Safari" > "Tabs." The following behavior differs depending on the tab. Compact When scrolling down, the header and footer shift up by a few pixels. A margin is created between the footer and the URL input field. Bottom Behaves the same as "Compact." Top The header is completely hidden below the URL input field at the top of the screen, leaving a margin below the footer. Below is the sample code to check the operation. <!doctype html> <html lang="ja"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" /> <title>固定ヘッダー/フッター + モーダル</title> <style> :root { --header-h: 56px; --footer-h: 56px; } body { margin: 0; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; background: #f9fafb; padding-top: var(--header-h); padding-bottom: var(--footer-h); } header .inner, footer .inner { width: 100%; max-width: var(--max-content-w); padding: 0 16px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; } header, footer { position: fixed; left: 0; right: 0; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 100; background: #fff; } header { top: 0; height: var(--header-h); border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; } footer { bottom: 0; height: var(--footer-h); border-top: 1px solid #ddd; } main { padding: 16px; } .btn { padding: 8px 16px; border: 1px solid #2563eb; background: #2563eb; color: #fff; border-radius: 6px; cursor: pointer; } /* モーダル関連 */ .modal { position: fixed; inset: 0; display: none; z-index: 1000; } .modal.is-open { display: block; } .modal__backdrop { position: absolute; inset: 0; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); } .modal__panel { position: relative; max-width: 600px; margin: 10% auto; background: #fff; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; z-index: 1; } .modal__head { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; margin-bottom: 12px; } .modal__title { margin: 0; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; } .modal__close { background: none; border: none; font-size: 20px; cursor: pointer; } </style> </head> <body> <header> <div class="inner"> <h1>デモページ</h1> <button id="openModal" class="btn">モーダルを開く</button> </div> </header> <main class="container" id="main"> <h2>スクロール用の適当なコンテンツ1</h2> <p>ヘッダーとフッターは常に表示されます。モーダルボタンを押すと、画面いっぱいのダイアログが開きます。</p> <!-- ダミーカードを複数 --> <section class="grid"> <div class="card"><strong>カード1</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード2</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード3</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード4</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード5</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード6</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード7</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード8</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード9</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード10</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> </section> </main> <footer> <small>&copy; 2025 Demo</small> </footer> <!-- モーダル --> <div class="modal" id="modal"> <div class="modal__backdrop"></div> <div class="modal__panel"> <div class="modal__head"> <h2 class="modal__title">モーダル</h2> <button class="modal__close" id="closeModal">&times;</button> </div> <p>これは白いビューのモーダルです。背景は黒く半透明で覆われています。</p> </div> </div> <script> const modal = document.getElementById('modal'); const openBtn = document.getElementById('openModal'); const closeBtn = document.getElementById('closeModal'); const backdrop = modal.querySelector('.modal__backdrop'); openBtn.addEventListener('click', () => { modal.classList.add('is-open'); }); function closeModal() { modal.classList.remove('is-open'); } closeBtn.addEventListener('click', closeModal); backdrop.addEventListener('click', closeModal); window.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => { if (e.key === 'Escape' && modal.classList.contains('is-open')) { closeModal(); } }); </script> </body> </html>

Apple Pay Web: Multiple active PPCs for one Merchant ID?
Hi,
 We’re implementing Apple Pay on the Web for a multi-tenant platform via a PSP. The PSP operates multiple HSM/clusters and gave us multiple CSRs, asking us to register all.
Our understanding: a Merchant ID can hold several PPCs over time, but only one is active at once. Questions Is there any supported way to keep more than one PPC active simultaneously for the same Merchant ID? If not, what does Apple recommend for web-only, multi-tenant setups: a single MID with PSP-side decryption & sub-merchant separation, or separate MIDs per brand/region? Any official guidance on PPC rotation and handling many domains for Apple Pay on the Web? links to official docs or prior Apple responses would be appreciated.

High count of webview content process termination
Our iOS app uses React Native Webview (based on top of WKWebView) to display content. This webview stays in memory throughtout the app's lifecycle. We are observing a high number of webview content process terminations - around 15% of our sessions. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wknavigationdelegate/webviewwebcontentprocessdidterminate(_:)) What could be the reasons for it? Is there a way to know for sure? Is the 15% of sessions number something that other apps also experience, or should this be lower? Thanks!

Opening certain websites is making my entire browser freeze (no matter what browser I use)
Currently, im on MacOS Tahoe 26 Public Beta 2, build number 25A5327h. I just recently updated to this, and now, whenever I open some sites like Amazon, or ChatGPT, it freezes my entire browser and I have to force quit it. I tried deleting the SpeakSelection.plist file which everyone swore worked, but not for me. Is this because the new update messed with resource allocation or did my user data corrupt mid-update and i have to transfer all my stuff to a new user?

WKWebView Entitlements
Hi all, I'm developing an application that uses WKWebView to display a web application which I augment with iOS native utilities such as Speech to Text and IAP. The application also uses Service workers, so we define AppBound Domains in the info.plist file. Everything works for this, but when we deploy on a device the application will crash and say we need these entitlements com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking, com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering, com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent, com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit From what I can see, we do need all of them. However Apple suggest submitting a request to be an Altnerative Browser (https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engines) This is not appropriate for the application in my view since one requirement of being an alternative browser is that you don't modify the resources on the web site - we of course do since we inject javascript in order to bridge between iOS and the contents of the webview. How are people navigating this issue? I assumed it would be common given the use of Tauri etc. to build similar types of applications, but I don't see much about it. Thank you!

Smart App Banner has changed background color
We have a Smart App Banner (including App Clip) on our website and have noticed today that the banner's background color has changed. It no longer has the default white background and blue button color, instead it has a background color that matches our page's background, and even the color of the button has changed. What's interesting is that we have not triggered this change at all. The colors seemingly changed by themselves. Looking at the Apple Documentation, no customization options are mentioned. Searching the web, the theme-color meta tag is mentioned in relation to this, however we haven't even included that tag on our page. What is triggering this color change then and how can we influence it?

WKWebView fails to render custom app fonts in macOS 26 beta 5

According to Swift's type system, neither sourceFrame nor its request property are optional, so at first glance this seems safe. However, the crash report suggests otherwise. From the crash log, it appears that the issue arises during the bridging from Objective-C to Swift: Thread 1 Queue : com.apple.main-thread (serial) #0 0x00000001a127a030 in static Foundation.URLRequest._unconditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC(Swift.Optional<__C.NSURLRequest>) -> Foundation.URLRequest () #1 0x00000001056c48b0 in CustomWebViewController.webView(_:decidePolicyFor:preferences:decisionHandler:) #2 0x00000001056c4c78 in @objc CustomWebViewController.webView(_:decidePolicyFor:preferences:decisionHandler:) () #3 0x00000001b8c66e0c in WebKit::NavigationState::NavigationClient::decidePolicyForNavigationAction () #4 0x00000001b8fd14dc in WebKit::WebPageProxy::decidePolicyForNavigationAction () #5 0x00000001b8fcfc7c in WebKit::WebPageProxy::decidePolicyForNavigationActionAsyncShared () #6 0x00000001b8fcfb18 in WebKit::WebPageProxy::decidePolicyForNavigationActionAsync () #7 0x00000001b87ddaa0 in WebKit::WebPageProxy::didReceiveMessage () #8 0x00000001b869f474 in IPC::MessageReceiverMap::dispatchMessage () #9 0x00000001b878dda4 in WebKit::WebProcessProxy::dispatchMessage () #10 0x00000001b878d614 in WebKit::WebProcessProxy::didReceiveMessage () #11 0x00000001b869e7e4 in IPC::Connection::dispatchMessage () #12 0x00000001b869e358 in IPC::Connection::dispatchIncomingMessages () #13 0x00000001b9a96a44 in WTF::RunLoop::performWork () #14 0x00000001b9a96688 in WTF::RunLoop::performWork () #15 0x00000001a2428b9c in __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ () #16 0x00000001a24289b4 in __CFRunLoopDoSource0 () #17 0x00000001a2428810 in __CFRunLoopDoSources0 () #18 0x00000001a2429190 in __CFRunLoopRun () #19 0x00000001a242ad4c in CFRunLoopRunSpecific () #20 0x00000001ef705454 in GSEventRunModal () #21 0x00000001a4e45890 in -[UIApplication _run] () #22 0x00000001a4e10cec in UIApplicationMain () #23 0x00000001a4ef261c in ___lldb_unnamed_symbol275689 () #24 0x00000001059a5104 in static UIApplicationDelegate.main() () #25 0x00000001059a5074 in static AppDelegate.$main() () #26 0x00000001059a82ec in main () #27 0x00000001c940af0c in start () This implies that while Swift treats sourceFrame.request as non-optional, the underlying Objective-C implementation may actually return nil—leading to a crash when the non-optional Swift type attempts to force unwrap it. My question: Is there a way to safely access navigationAction.sourceFrame.request —- or determine if it’s nil—before Swift attempts the implicit bridging from Objective-C? Or is there an established workaround for safely inspecting this property? Any guidance or best practices for avoiding this crash would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

SIGABRT on WebKit macOS 15.3.2
The application I'm currently working on uses WebKit. Based on the crash analytics, we have noticed that some of our users are experiencing an unusual behavior in the app's WebKit view with macOS 15.3.2. These errors are reported for this version of the OS. The error in the crash log is a SIGABRT error, but there is no relevant information available to address it. In some crash logs, we found this error: "NSInternalInconsistencyException: Returned WKWebView was not created with the given configuration" but there is not any particular way to address it. Is there a way to identify the cause of this error? Alternatively, has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution?

header and footer positions shifted in Safari tab settings
Thank you for supporting me. My environment Device: iPhone 15 Pro OS: iOS 26.0 Public Beta (23A5336a) In iOS 26, three types of tabs were added to Safari. Depending on the option, the behavior of the fixed header and footer can be unstable. *Tab settings can be changed in the iOS Settings app under "Apps -> Safari" > "Tabs." The following behavior differs depending on the tab. Compact When scrolling down, the header and footer shift up by a few pixels. A margin is created between the footer and the URL input field. Bottom Behaves the same as "Compact." Top The header is completely hidden below the URL input field at the top of the screen, leaving a margin below the footer. Below is the sample code to check the operation. <!doctype html> <html lang="ja"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" /> <title>固定ヘッダー/フッター + モーダル</title> <style> :root { --header-h: 56px; --footer-h: 56px; } body { margin: 0; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; background: #f9fafb; padding-top: var(--header-h); padding-bottom: var(--footer-h); } header .inner, footer .inner { width: 100%; max-width: var(--max-content-w); padding: 0 16px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; } header, footer { position: fixed; left: 0; right: 0; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 100; background: #fff; } header { top: 0; height: var(--header-h); border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; } footer { bottom: 0; height: var(--footer-h); border-top: 1px solid #ddd; } main { padding: 16px; } .btn { padding: 8px 16px; border: 1px solid #2563eb; background: #2563eb; color: #fff; border-radius: 6px; cursor: pointer; } /* モーダル関連 */ .modal { position: fixed; inset: 0; display: none; z-index: 1000; } .modal.is-open { display: block; } .modal__backdrop { position: absolute; inset: 0; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); } .modal__panel { position: relative; max-width: 600px; margin: 10% auto; background: #fff; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; z-index: 1; } .modal__head { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; margin-bottom: 12px; } .modal__title { margin: 0; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; } .modal__close { background: none; border: none; font-size: 20px; cursor: pointer; } </style> </head> <body> <header> <div class="inner"> <h1>デモページ</h1> <button id="openModal" class="btn">モーダルを開く</button> </div> </header> <main class="container" id="main"> <h2>スクロール用の適当なコンテンツ1</h2> <p>ヘッダーとフッターは常に表示されます。モーダルボタンを押すと、画面いっぱいのダイアログが開きます。</p> <!-- ダミーカードを複数 --> <section class="grid"> <div class="card"><strong>カード1</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード2</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード3</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード4</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード5</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード6</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード7</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード8</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード9</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> <div class="card"><strong>カード10</strong><p>適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。適当なテキスト。</p></div> </section> </main> <footer> <small>&copy; 2025 Demo</small> </footer> <!-- モーダル --> <div class="modal" id="modal"> <div class="modal__backdrop"></div> <div class="modal__panel"> <div class="modal__head"> <h2 class="modal__title">モーダル</h2> <button class="modal__close" id="closeModal">&times;</button> </div> <p>これは白いビューのモーダルです。背景は黒く半透明で覆われています。</p> </div> </div> <script> const modal = document.getElementById('modal'); const openBtn = document.getElementById('openModal'); const closeBtn = document.getElementById('closeModal'); const backdrop = modal.querySelector('.modal__backdrop'); openBtn.addEventListener('click', () => { modal.classList.add('is-open'); }); function closeModal() { modal.classList.remove('is-open'); } closeBtn.addEventListener('click', closeModal); backdrop.addEventListener('click', closeModal); window.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => { if (e.key === 'Escape' && modal.classList.contains('is-open')) { closeModal(); } }); </script> </body> </html>

Accessing Extension Resources from Content scripts
In a Safari Web Extension using Manifest V3, how can a content script access an HTML file that is bundled with the extension (e.g., to inject it as an iframe)? Safari's CSP seem to prevent the use of browser.runtime.getURL() in the MAIN world — is there a recommended way to load such resources securely?

Apple Pay Web: Multiple active PPCs for one Merchant ID?
Hi,
 We’re implementing Apple Pay on the Web for a multi-tenant platform via a PSP. The PSP operates multiple HSM/clusters and gave us multiple CSRs, asking us to register all.
Our understanding: a Merchant ID can hold several PPCs over time, but only one is active at once. Questions Is there any supported way to keep more than one PPC active simultaneously for the same Merchant ID? If not, what does Apple recommend for web-only, multi-tenant setups: a single MID with PSP-side decryption & sub-merchant separation, or separate MIDs per brand/region? Any official guidance on PPC rotation and handling many domains for Apple Pay on the Web? links to official docs or prior Apple responses would be appreciated.

WKWebView in full screen shows black instead of webpage on macOS 26 beta
As you see in the image, when I fullscreen in WKWebView, it shows black instead of the webpage in full screen. It works fine in Sequoia. It has happened to me since beta 1, but I post it now, because we’re in beta 8 and it’s not fixed. What’s going on? Can somebody tell me if they have the same issue?

High count of webview content process termination
Our iOS app uses React Native Webview (based on top of WKWebView) to display content. This webview stays in memory throughtout the app's lifecycle. We are observing a high number of webview content process terminations - around 15% of our sessions. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wknavigationdelegate/webviewwebcontentprocessdidterminate(_:)) What could be the reasons for it? Is there a way to know for sure? Is the 15% of sessions number something that other apps also experience, or should this be lower? Thanks!

Is my POST method correct
//Is my post method correct because google and claude are telling me I must use content type for the json and use .setvalue. I thought that my process was correct because I encode the data to turn into json and then make the request func createTask(_ task: Task) async throws -> Task { if let url = URL(string: "(baseURL)/todos"){ var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.httpMethod = "POST" let encoder = JSONEncoder() do{ let data = try encoder.encode(task) request.httpBody = data let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request) return task //we want to make encoder and then turn the data into json and put it in body } catch{ throw JSONErrors.encodingFailed } } else{ throw URLError(.badURL) } }

Opening certain websites is making my entire browser freeze (no matter what browser I use)
Currently, im on MacOS Tahoe 26 Public Beta 2, build number 25A5327h. I just recently updated to this, and now, whenever I open some sites like Amazon, or ChatGPT, it freezes my entire browser and I have to force quit it. I tried deleting the SpeakSelection.plist file which everyone swore worked, but not for me. Is this because the new update messed with resource allocation or did my user data corrupt mid-update and i have to transfer all my stuff to a new user?

WKWebView Entitlements
Hi all, I'm developing an application that uses WKWebView to display a web application which I augment with iOS native utilities such as Speech to Text and IAP. The application also uses Service workers, so we define AppBound Domains in the info.plist file. Everything works for this, but when we deploy on a device the application will crash and say we need these entitlements com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking, com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering, com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent, com.apple.runningboard.assertions.webkit From what I can see, we do need all of them. However Apple suggest submitting a request to be an Altnerative Browser (https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engines) This is not appropriate for the application in my view since one requirement of being an alternative browser is that you don't modify the resources on the web site - we of course do since we inject javascript in order to bridge between iOS and the contents of the webview. How are people navigating this issue? I assumed it would be common given the use of Tauri etc. to build similar types of applications, but I don't see much about it. Thank you!

Smart App Banner has changed background color
We have a Smart App Banner (including App Clip) on our website and have noticed today that the banner's background color has changed. It no longer has the default white background and blue button color, instead it has a background color that matches our page's background, and even the color of the button has changed. What's interesting is that we have not triggered this change at all. The colors seemingly changed by themselves. Looking at the Apple Documentation, no customization options are mentioned. Searching the web, the theme-color meta tag is mentioned in relation to this, however we haven't even included that tag on our page. What is triggering this color change then and how can we influence it?
