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://aninterestingwebsite.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!

macOS 15.0.1: Any supported way to auto‑enable a Safari App Extension on unmanaged Macs (no MDM)?
Hi all, Question: Can Apple confirm that, on macOS 15 without MDM/supervision, there is no supported API, entitlement, auth right, or config file that can enable a Safari App Extension without some form of user interaction? Environment • OS / Safari: macOS 15.0.1 (Sequoia), Safari 18.x • Distribution: Signed, notarized, stapled PKG installs a host app that contains a Safari App Extension • Management: No MDM allowed (and thus no supervision) • Goal: Have the extension come up enabled immediately after install, without requiring the user to click the checkbox in Safari Settings ▸ Extensions What we already know / tried Normal install flow – After PKG install, the extension shows up disabled. User must check the box to enable. SFSafariApplication.showPreferencesForExtension(...) – We can deep‑link the user to our row, but they still need to click “Enable.” Accessibility/UI scripting – We can script the click if the user grants our helper Accessibility permission. That still involves user interaction. .mobileconfig with Safari Extensions Management (AlwaysOn) – From what I can tell, this requires a supervised device enrolled in MDM. Installing that profile manually on an unsupervised Mac does not enforce the “AlwaysOn” state. Auth rights / Developer mode – Looked at auth.db rights like com.apple.Safari.allow-unsigned-app-extensions, and the Develop menu “Allow Unsigned Extensions.” Neither appears to auto‑enable a signed extension, and we don’t want to use private/unsupported APIs anyway. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

WebSocket connection instantly closes (FIN) on iPadOS 26 in PWA (Local HTTP/WS)
I am maintaining a PWA that utilizes WebSockets. In this app, after the web page is loaded from the server, JavaScript establishes a WebSocket connection. Because the app connects to a completely local server on a managed local network, we use http:// and ws:// (non-secure). The Issue: The app worked perfectly from older iOS versions up to iPadOS 18. However, during testing on iPadOS 26, we encountered an issue where the WebSocket connects successfully but is disconnected by the iPad approximately one second later. According to our packet captures, the iPad is sending a FIN packet to initiate the teardown. Additional Context: What makes this particularly confusing is that we have another server hosting the exact same PWA where the WebSocket connection stays stable even on iPadOS 26. This suggests it might not be a universal OS bug, but perhaps related to specific network conditions or a new security policy. Has anyone experienced similar behavior on iPadOS 26? Could this be a bug, or is there a new security restriction regarding non-secure WebSocket (ws://) connections in local networks? Are there any known changes in WebKit/Safari for iPadOS 26 that might cause the OS to send a FIN packet immediately after a handshake? I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on what might be causing this.

iOS26 WKWebView:Remote page becomes unresponsive after loading local file
Subject: iOS 26 WKWebView: Remote Pages Become Unresponsive After Loading Local HTML Files Description We're experiencing a critical issue with WKWebView in a React Native 0.64.3 application where remote web pages become completely unresponsive after loading local HTML files in iOS 26. It works well before iOS26. Environment: React Native 0.64.3 iOS 26.0 Xcode 26.0.1 Using custom WKWebView implementations in Native modules Problem Details App loads local HTML files using loadFileURL:allowingReadAccessToURL: Later, when loading remote pages via loadRequest:, the remote pages load successfully but become unresponsive to user interactions This occurs even when using different WKWebView instances The issue is reproducible 100% of the time once a local file has been loaded Restarting the app and loading remote pages directly works fine Code Example: // Loading local file (works fine) [self.webView loadFileURL:localFileURL allowingReadAccessToURL:accessURL]; // Later, loading remote page (loads but becomes unresponsive) NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:remoteURL]; [self.webView loadRequest:request]; What We've Tried: Using different WKWebView instances for local vs remote content Comprehensive cleanup in dealloc (removing all user scripts and message handlers) Loading blank HTML before switching to remote content Using shared WKProcessPool (understanding its limitations in iOS 15+) Ensuring proper decisionHandler management in navigation delegates Resetting WKWebView configuration settings Clearing cookies and cache between loads Using loadFileRequest:allowingReadAccessToURL: instead of loadFileURL: Key Observations: The remote page renders correctly and network requests complete No JavaScript errors in console The view hierarchy appears normal in Debug View Hierarchy Touch events seem to be delivered but not processed by the web content Questions: Has Apple introduced new security restrictions in iOS 26 that affect the transition from file:// URLs to http:// URLs? Are there specific WKWebView configuration changes required for React Native applications in iOS 26? Could this be related to the React Native bridge or JavaScript context persistence? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated, as this is blocking our iOS 26 compatibility.

Why does NSURLSession with Multipath entitlement seamlessly switch to cellular when on a hardware Wi-Fi with no internet, but WKWebView does not?
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!

mediaDevices.getUserMedia ignores channelCount with echoCancellation off.
I understand that you want echoCancellation and noiseSuppression in most cases, but I would like to be able to turn off all the filter processes for this particular use case. When I set echoCancellation: false in navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia, Safari 26 on MacOS produces stereo recording even if I set channelCount: 1. When I set echoCancellation: true, it produces mono recording as expected. How can I get mono recording with echoCancellation: false and channelCount: 1? Thanks!

Inquiry Regarding Unsubscribe Flow for Recurring Payment Processing
We would like to confirm the unsubscribe flow related to recurring payment processing. When a user unsubscribes, does your system send any notification to us? If no notification is provided, we will not be able to detect the unsubscribe event and will continue to send recurring payment requests to the gateway periodically. Would this cause any issues? We would appreciate it if you could share the specific unsubscribe flow with us. Thank you in advance for your support.

HTML problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version
We confirmed a problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version. For confirmation, we made a HTML document (see below HTML1) what include ‘method="POST" target="_blank"’ and tested the form however server received GET method and there is no parameter, server did not receive “id” parameter. We confirmed that fact in captured packet and log file that on the server. HTML1: We also made another HTML document (see below HTML2) what include submit button, but the server received GET method as above. HTML2: And we also confirmed that it behaves differently depending on the network environment. If the form targets a name that does not exist (ex. target=” A12345”), behaves differently http or https. http: Safari opened new tag, but the server received GET method. Normally, Safari open new tag and the server receive POST method. https: Safari opened new tag, and the server received POST method. It is normally. If the form targets ‘_blank’, the server received GET method on http or https both. We think Safari change the method POST to GET and delete parameters. It is not conformed to the HTML specification if is that true. We confirmed it was not happened at Safari on iPadOS 17.4, and Windows PC (Edge, Chrome). The method what the server received is POST. We find same problem in Apple Support Community (see below URL). https://discussionsjapan.apple.com/thread/255987615 (Described in Japanese) Is it a bug in Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version? Do you have plan to fix? Or if fixed the bug, when do you release fixed version.

Disable recording of Screentime for WKWebView with STWebpageController?
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 Safari Rendering Issue: Sticky Header Sometimes Fails to Update After DOM Changes
I’m encountering an issue on iOS when rendering a list using React. Each list item uses the array index as the React key and consists of two parts: a header section that uses position: sticky for dynamic sticking behavior, and a body section whose height is automatically adjusted based on its content. When the list data is updated, I sometimes observe that the sticky header content does not update visually in time, even though the underlying data and DOM have changed. // demo.jsx import React, { useState } from 'react'; import { Button } from '@iftide/mobile'; import './style2.less'; // import data1 from './data1.json'; // import data2 from './data2.json'; const prefixCls = 'im-detaillist'; const data1 = [ { sectionTitle: '2025年05月' }, { sectionTitle: '2025年04月' }, { sectionTitle: '2025年03月' } ]; const data2 = [ { sectionTitle: '2023年08月' }, { sectionTitle: '2023年07月' }, { sectionTitle: '2023年06月' }, { sectionTitle: '2023年05月' } ]; export default function App() { const [list, setList] = useState(data1); const [toggle, setToggle] = useState(true); return ( <div> <Button title="更新2" onClick={() => { setToggle(!toggle); setList(data2); }} /> <div className={`${prefixCls}-container2`} style={{ height: `700px` }}> {list.map((section: any, sectionIdx: number) => { return ( <div className={`${prefixCls}`} key={String(sectionIdx)} // id={section.sectionTitle} > <div className={`${prefixCls}-section-title`} role="text"> {section.sectionTitle} </div> <div style={{ background: 'green', height: `${Math.ceil(400 * Math.random()) + 50}px` }} > 省略 </div> </div> ); })} </div> </div> ); } .@{prefixCls}-section-title { position: sticky; position: -webkit-sticky; will-change: transform; top: 0; z-index: 1; padding-left: 11px; width: 100%; height: 30px; font-size: var(--font-size-s); font-weight: 400; line-height: 30px; color: #000000; background-color: #F4F5F7; letter-spacing: 0; }

SAML with SSO extension triggering twice
I am developing an SSO Extension so that I can have SSO with Keycloak across applications. OIDC/OAuth2 works very well. But I am struggling with SAML. It works, but it seems that the form submission is always triggered twice. I use decisionHandler(.cancel) to stop the form submission and redirect it to the browser. I still get the form submitted both by the extension and by the browser. At some point I tried to allow the form submission in the Extension so that I get the redirect with the response to the browser. It still triggered another submission. Does anyone experience this issue?

WKWebView and WebAuthN question
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

Unable to Add Non-Standard Headers Using Declarative Net Request Rule (DNR) in Safari
We’re encountering an issue when trying to add non-standard headers to outgoing requests using Declarative Net Request (DNR) rules in our Safari Web Extension. Tested on macOS 15.4 with Safari 18.4. Specifically, when attempting to add a custom header such as "X-Custom-Header" using a DNR rule, the header does not appear in the request. We are able to add standard headers like "Authorization" and "Cookie" to the request successfully using the same method. This behavior suggests that Safari may be filtering or blocking non-standard headers when set via DNR rules, unlike other browsers. In Chrome and Firefox, the same rule adds the "X-Custom-Header" header without any issue. We are looking for assistance in fixing these issues and having our Safari Extension function the same as it does in Firefox and Chrome.

App clips - Launch appclip safari in html page inside safari on a button click. I have the testflight app
Subject: Help Needed with App Clip Implementation Hi Team, I need some assistance with implementing App Clip behavior in safari and also experimenting using TestFlight app. Default App Clip URL: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.jey.ppclient-prod.appclip Website for App Clip Integration: https://appclip-sand.vercel.app/customer Current Behavior: Default App Clip URL: When I embed the default App Clip URL in an HTML tag like below: Launch App Clip it does launch the App Clip. but it says the appclip not supported in your region I've already added this configuration under Local Experience in App Store Connect. Website Integration: I’ve registered the site using the Advanced App Clip Experience. The apple-app-site-association file is in place. When I visit the site, the App Clip does launch as expected. What I Need Help With: I want to launch the App Clip from a custom button click, using either: The default App Clip URL, or The website URL (e.g., https://appclip-sand.vercel.app/customer) with additional query parameters like userId or sessionId. Is there a supported way to achieve this—perhaps through JavaScript or a specific tag setup that works with either Local or Advanced Experience? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jey

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!

mediaDevices.getUserMedia ignores channelCount with echoCancellation off.
I understand that you want echoCancellation and noiseSuppression in most cases, but I would like to be able to turn off all the filter processes for this particular use case. When I set echoCancellation: false in navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia, Safari 26 on MacOS produces stereo recording even if I set channelCount: 1. When I set echoCancellation: true, it produces mono recording as expected. How can I get mono recording with echoCancellation: false and channelCount: 1? Thanks!

Inquiry Regarding Unsubscribe Flow for Recurring Payment Processing
We would like to confirm the unsubscribe flow related to recurring payment processing. When a user unsubscribes, does your system send any notification to us? If no notification is provided, we will not be able to detect the unsubscribe event and will continue to send recurring payment requests to the gateway periodically. Would this cause any issues? We would appreciate it if you could share the specific unsubscribe flow with us. Thank you in advance for your support.

HTML problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version
We confirmed a problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version. For confirmation, we made a HTML document (see below HTML1) what include ‘method="POST" target="_blank"’ and tested the form however server received GET method and there is no parameter, server did not receive “id” parameter. We confirmed that fact in captured packet and log file that on the server. HTML1: We also made another HTML document (see below HTML2) what include submit button, but the server received GET method as above. HTML2: And we also confirmed that it behaves differently depending on the network environment. If the form targets a name that does not exist (ex. target=” A12345”), behaves differently http or https. http: Safari opened new tag, but the server received GET method. Normally, Safari open new tag and the server receive POST method. https: Safari opened new tag, and the server received POST method. It is normally. If the form targets ‘_blank’, the server received GET method on http or https both. We think Safari change the method POST to GET and delete parameters. It is not conformed to the HTML specification if is that true. We confirmed it was not happened at Safari on iPadOS 17.4, and Windows PC (Edge, Chrome). The method what the server received is POST. We find same problem in Apple Support Community (see below URL). https://discussionsjapan.apple.com/thread/255987615 (Described in Japanese) Is it a bug in Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version? Do you have plan to fix? Or if fixed the bug, when do you release fixed version.

Disable recording of Screentime for WKWebView with STWebpageController?
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 Safari Rendering Issue: Sticky Header Sometimes Fails to Update After DOM Changes
I’m encountering an issue on iOS when rendering a list using React. Each list item uses the array index as the React key and consists of two parts: a header section that uses position: sticky for dynamic sticking behavior, and a body section whose height is automatically adjusted based on its content. When the list data is updated, I sometimes observe that the sticky header content does not update visually in time, even though the underlying data and DOM have changed. // demo.jsx import React, { useState } from 'react'; import { Button } from '@iftide/mobile'; import './style2.less'; // import data1 from './data1.json'; // import data2 from './data2.json'; const prefixCls = 'im-detaillist'; const data1 = [ { sectionTitle: '2025年05月' }, { sectionTitle: '2025年04月' }, { sectionTitle: '2025年03月' } ]; const data2 = [ { sectionTitle: '2023年08月' }, { sectionTitle: '2023年07月' }, { sectionTitle: '2023年06月' }, { sectionTitle: '2023年05月' } ]; export default function App() { const [list, setList] = useState(data1); const [toggle, setToggle] = useState(true); return ( <div> <Button title="更新2" onClick={() => { setToggle(!toggle); setList(data2); }} /> <div className={`${prefixCls}-container2`} style={{ height: `700px` }}> {list.map((section: any, sectionIdx: number) => { return ( <div className={`${prefixCls}`} key={String(sectionIdx)} // id={section.sectionTitle} > <div className={`${prefixCls}-section-title`} role="text"> {section.sectionTitle} </div> <div style={{ background: 'green', height: `${Math.ceil(400 * Math.random()) + 50}px` }} > 省略 </div> </div> ); })} </div> </div> ); } .@{prefixCls}-section-title { position: sticky; position: -webkit-sticky; will-change: transform; top: 0; z-index: 1; padding-left: 11px; width: 100%; height: 30px; font-size: var(--font-size-s); font-weight: 400; line-height: 30px; color: #000000; background-color: #F4F5F7; letter-spacing: 0; }

SAML with SSO extension triggering twice
I am developing an SSO Extension so that I can have SSO with Keycloak across applications. OIDC/OAuth2 works very well. But I am struggling with SAML. It works, but it seems that the form submission is always triggered twice. I use decisionHandler(.cancel) to stop the form submission and redirect it to the browser. I still get the form submitted both by the extension and by the browser. At some point I tried to allow the form submission in the Extension so that I get the redirect with the response to the browser. It still triggered another submission. Does anyone experience this issue?

I can't get 2FA SMS/Email Codes to autofill in Brave or Chrome
Posting this here since Apple Discussion Forums kept deleting this citing it was a "developer issue" even though it's not and there's no way to appeal. Can someone help me? I can't get 2FA SMS/Email Codes to autofill in Brave or Chrome as of this writing. Has anyone else had this issue?

WKWebView and WebAuthN question
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

Unable to Add Non-Standard Headers Using Declarative Net Request Rule (DNR) in Safari
We’re encountering an issue when trying to add non-standard headers to outgoing requests using Declarative Net Request (DNR) rules in our Safari Web Extension. Tested on macOS 15.4 with Safari 18.4. Specifically, when attempting to add a custom header such as "X-Custom-Header" using a DNR rule, the header does not appear in the request. We are able to add standard headers like "Authorization" and "Cookie" to the request successfully using the same method. This behavior suggests that Safari may be filtering or blocking non-standard headers when set via DNR rules, unlike other browsers. In Chrome and Firefox, the same rule adds the "X-Custom-Header" header without any issue. We are looking for assistance in fixing these issues and having our Safari Extension function the same as it does in Firefox and Chrome.

App clips - Launch appclip safari in html page inside safari on a button click. I have the testflight app
Subject: Help Needed with App Clip Implementation Hi Team, I need some assistance with implementing App Clip behavior in safari and also experimenting using TestFlight app. Default App Clip URL: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.jey.ppclient-prod.appclip Website for App Clip Integration: https://appclip-sand.vercel.app/customer Current Behavior: Default App Clip URL: When I embed the default App Clip URL in an HTML tag like below: Launch App Clip it does launch the App Clip. but it says the appclip not supported in your region I've already added this configuration under Local Experience in App Store Connect. Website Integration: I’ve registered the site using the Advanced App Clip Experience. The apple-app-site-association file is in place. When I visit the site, the App Clip does launch as expected. What I Need Help With: I want to launch the App Clip from a custom button click, using either: The default App Clip URL, or The website URL (e.g., https://appclip-sand.vercel.app/customer) with additional query parameters like userId or sessionId. Is there a supported way to achieve this—perhaps through JavaScript or a specific tag setup that works with either Local or Advanced Experience? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jey
