Scenario: Apple decided to not support PWAs in Europe in IOS 17.4. My company has multiple Angular PWAs, all using IndexedDB and providing full offline-usage as main feature, that apparently won't work anymore. The apps communicate with a server. We maintain two versions of that server, e.g. v1.1 and v1.2 - some customers don't want or can't upgrade to v1.2 just yet. Not all new features of an app will get implemented in v1.1, and eventually we won't push updates for it anymore. At some point, we'll have the same situation with e.g. v1.2 and v1.3. My questions: Do I understand correctly that offline-usage and IndexedDB features won't work anymore? If I wrap the PWAs via Capacitor and upload them as Custom App via App Store Connect, in IOS 17.4... Will the app, including routing, work offline? Will the IndexedDb still be usable as permanent data storage? Can I upload v1.1 and v1.2 as separate apps or will I have to create on app with in-app purchase options? If it's the latter, how do I push updates? Apparently, Apple Review can cause problems with separate apps that have similar functions... Thank you for your time!

The SFSafariViewController documentation mentions not to display content from websites when using the pageSheet and formSheet presentation styles for the In-App browser. Is this a hard restriction that is enforced or more of a loose guideline? And if possible, providing the reasoning behind it would be great. Thanks in advance.

I want to implement in-app purchases for my Mac Safari web extension. I can think of two ways: Draw the payment UI in an extension web page, and send a message to the native extension app to call StoreKit code. Open the container app from an extension web page, where the app draws the payment UI. I couldn't make #1 work with either StoreKit 2, which is async, and context.completeRequest(returningItems:) doesn't want to be called in a Task, saying context is not sendable) or StoreKit 1, where calling context.completeRequest(returningItems:) in paymentQueue(_:updatedTransactions:) for some reason doesn't return a response to the extension's web page. I couldn't make #2 work because I couldn't find a way to open the container app from the web extension. I registered a custom URL for my container app, but context.open that url does nothing. Web extensions that use IAP with #2 are available on the Mac app store, so it must be possible, could anyone shed some light on how to open the container app and pass the purchased info to the extension web page even if the container app is not open? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am developing a drawing app using SafariView and is using apple pencil double tap handler for crucial features. In IOS 17.5 I lost functionality of it when interacting with SafariView, my friend confirmed that it worked with IOS 17.4 and I can confirm it also worked with IOS 17.1. However, I cannot downgrade my system nor can my uses. THIS IS A FATAL MALFUNCTION FOR MY APP. Detailedly, as I tested, the double tap handlers cannot be activated when my last tapped component is SafariView, so it never works when interacting with my web app. But I can enable this by clicking outside the SafariView or some non-SafariView component on top of it, just anything other than the Safari view, even webkit view can work but it is not usable for me. My aim is to keep listening to double tapping while interacting with SafariView in full screen, so I cannot let the user tap elsewhere to just activate double tap, there is no other walk around for me, unless there is a way to enable 120fps animation in WebKit view, which is only available in safari feature flags as I know. I would like to hear a solution in this situation or a promise of a fix, this is devastating to my users' experience. code to reproduce: import SwiftUI import WebKit import SafariServices struct SafariView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { let url: URL func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> SFSafariViewController { return SFSafariViewController(url: url) } func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: SFSafariViewController, context: Context) { // No update code needed for this example } } struct WKWebViewWrapper: UIViewRepresentable { let url: URL func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { let webView = WKWebView() let request = URLRequest(url: url) webView.load(request) return webView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) { // No update code needed for this example } } struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) .onPencilDoubleTap { value in print("tap1") } Text("Hello, world!") .padding() SafariView(url: URL(string: "https://www.example.com")!) .onPencilDoubleTap { value in print("tap2")} .frame(width:300) WKWebViewWrapper(url: URL(string: "https://www.example.com")!).onPencilDoubleTap { value in print("tap3") } .frame(width:300) } } } #Preview { ContentView() }

I have a link that is embedded in the app using WKWebView. This link is working fine in the Macbook Safari browser, But it's not open in iPhone Safari and wkWebView in the app.

Preamble: I am creating an iOS build of a Ren'Py game. My coding experience with Swift/ObjC is nearly nonexistent and I've primarily followed tutorials up to this point. Ren'Py uses an underlying framework to create an Xcode project. I do not have control over how this framework does things, but I can add files before actually compiling inside Xcode. I MUST use the pyobjus library to do so based on my current understanding, abilities, and frameworks. The included IAPHelper class processes in-app purchasing and it works great! The following function indicates, however, that there is a rootViewController that I need to attach to. - (void) showDialog { if (alert != nil) { return; } alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:self.dialogTitle message:nil preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert ]; UIActivityIndicatorView *indicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleLarge]; // Adjust the indicator so it is up a few pixels from the bottom of the alert indicator.center = CGPointMake(alert.view.bounds.size.width / 2, alert.view.bounds.size.height - 50); [indicator startAnimating]; [alert.view addSubview: indicator]; #pragma clang diagnostic push #pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wdeprecated" [UIApplication.sharedApplication.keyWindow.rootViewController presentViewController:alert animated:YES completion:nil]; #pragma clang diagnostic pop } Problem: I am TRYING to implement an in-app browser for Patreon authentication purposes. The files I have put together are as follows: BrowserViewController.h // BrowserViewController.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <WebKit/WebKit.h> @interface BrowserViewController : UIViewController - (void)loadURL:(NSString *)urlString; @end BrowserViewController.m // BrowserViewController.m #import "BrowserViewController.h" @interface BrowserViewController () @property (nonatomic, strong) WKWebView *webView; @end @implementation BrowserViewController - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; self.webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame]; [self.view addSubview:self.webView]; NSLog(@"viewDidLoad"); } - (void)loadURL:(NSString *)urlString { NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString]; NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]; [self.webView loadRequest:request]; NSLog(@"loadURL"); } @end OAuth2Strategy.py init python in auth: from urllib.parse import urlencode, urlparse, parse_qs from urllib.request import urlopen, Request import ssl import certifi from store import webserver, OpenURL import json class OAuth2Strategy(): def __init__(self, authorization_url, token_url, client_id, client_secret, callback_url, scope): self.authorization_url = authorization_url self.token_url = token_url self.client_id = client_id self.client_secret = client_secret self.callback_url = callback_url self.scope = scope self.on_success_callback = None self.on_fail_callback = None def run(self, on_success_callback = None, on_fail_callback = None): self.on_success_callback = on_success_callback self.on_fail_callback = on_fail_callback webserver.start(self) if renpy.renpy.ios: from pyobjus import autoclass, objc_str # Import the Objective-C class BrowserViewController = autoclass('BrowserViewController') # Create an instance of the BrowserViewController browser = BrowserViewController.alloc().init() # Load a URL url = self.make_authorize_url() browser.loadURL_(objc_str(url)) elif renpy.renpy.android: pass else: renpy.run(OpenURL(self.make_authorize_url())) def make_authorize_url(self): return self.authorization_url + "?client_id={client_id}&scope={scope}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&response_type=code".format( client_id=self.client_id, scope=self.scope, redirect_uri=self.redirect_uri, ) @property def redirect_uri(self): return "http://127.0.0.1:" + str(webserver.PORT) + self.callback_url def handle_auth(self, request): parsed_path = urlparse(request.path) query = parse_qs(parsed_path.query) code = query.get("code") if not code: request.send_response(400) request.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html') request.end_headers() request.wfile.write(b'Failed to authenticate.

When I run my app and click the button that SHOULD spawn the browser, nothing happens. I can see that my URL is getting pushed to the function in the log along with Warning: -[BETextInput attributedMarkedText] is unimplemented and Failed to request allowed query parameters from WebPrivacy. though my admittedly light research indicates this isn't an issue. I have a feeling I'm not attaching my webView to the right hierarchy but I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong.

For some reason, not all of the time but most of the time, the SFSafariViewControllerDelegate method for initialLoadDidRedirectTo is not being triggered for subsequent reloads as specified in the docs. @discussion This method may be called even after -safariViewController:didCompleteInitialLoad: if the web page performs additional redirects without user interaction. I am allowing a user to log in with an OAuth 2.0 Provider on the Safari browser and expecting to detect the redirect to continue the flow from the app once their credentials have securely been consumed by the IdP in Safari. It was working consistently. It went from a 100% success rate up until this week to maybe 1/20 successful redirects. Code snippet: let config = SafariViewController.Configuration() config.entersReaderIfAvailable = false let vc = SFSafariViewController(url: url, configuration: config) vc.delegate = self self.safariViewController = vc print(self.safariViewController?.delegate) self.present(vc, animated: true) Why is it not always detecting the redirects?

This method does not seem to work consistently: SFSafariViewControllerDelegate.safariViewController(_ controller: SFSafariViewController, initialLoadDidRedirectTo URL: URL) It was working 100% of the time until this week for me, now it has about a 1-5% success rate for detecting redirects. The docs are not clear: @discussion This method may be called even after -safariViewController:didCompleteInitialLoad: if the web page performs additional redirects without user interaction. Code snippet from calling UIViewController that conforms to SFSafariViewControllerDelegate: let config = SafariViewController.Configuration() config.entersReaderIfAvailable = false let vc = SFSafariViewController(url: url, configuration: config) vc.delegate = self self.safariViewController = vc print(self.safariViewController?.delegate) self.present(vc, animated: true) Did something change? How can I make this consistent again?

Hello, I've encoutered an issue with Safari App Extensions. My extension prints lots of suspect error logs in the Xcode console and inside Console.app. This happens basically whenever I make any interaction with the App Extension or with Safari. The most common and predictable error log I get is: No current extension context; trying most recent context (Subsystem: com.apple.SafariServices) However, I also sometimes get the following error messages, albeit less frequently, which may be related: No extension context for best match No extension context for remote object Error connecting back to host for remote object: NSCocoaErrorDomain, code: 4099 No known extension contexts for profile 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 Most recent extension context B7223E12-B563-45E0-97F8-50500BC6B994 does not have connection back to host; trying best match context I haven't been able to find anything about these error logs in Apple documentation or on the Internet, so I did a bit of empirical investigation. I reproduced the bug in the following basic scenario: I've created a new Safari App Extension project in Xcode by going to File > New > Project > Safari Extension App. I've selected "Safari App extension" for the type and "Swift" for the language. The project comes by default with a "SafariExtensionHandler.swift" file, which includes the following code: override func validateToolbarItem(in window: SFSafariWindow, validationHandler: @escaping ((Bool, String) -> Void)) { validationHandler(true, "") } No issues so far. If I add the following call: override func validateToolbarItem(in window: SFSafariWindow, validationHandler: @escaping ((Bool, String) -> Void)) { validationHandler(true, "") SFSafariApplication.getActiveWindow { window in // code } } There are still no error messages logged in the Console. However, if I do this instead: override func validateToolbarItem(in window: SFSafariWindow, validationHandler: @escaping ((Bool, String) -> Void)) { validationHandler(true, "") DispatchQueue.main.async { SFSafariApplication.getActiveWindow { window in // code } } } Then my Xcode console starts being spammed with "No current extension context; trying most recent context" error logs. With some more testing, it seems that the most common/predictable situation that causes the error log seems to be when calling any Safari API (e.g. SFSafariApplication.getActiveWindow{} or even SFSafariApplication.setToolbarItemsNeedUpdate()) outside of a direct method call provided by the Safari App Extension API. So making API calls directly from inside validateToolbarItem(in:, validationHandler:) or messageReceived(withName:from:userInfo:) calls is fine, but anything else causes "No extension context" logs. The bug even reproduces if you make a Safari API call directly inside of an @IBAction method call caused by a button click inside the Safari popover of the Safari App Extension. With this being the case, it seems to be impossible to make clean Safari API calls in an asynchronous or proactive way, which is problematic for our app extension use case and which seems to defeat the purpose of some of the API calls like SFSafariApplication.setToolbarItemsNeedUpdate(). Also, this seems to be a new issue. I've tested these scenarios on various macOS versions that I had on hand (specifically, on macOS 10.15 Catalina, macOS 13 Ventura and macOS 14 Sonoma) and the bug seems to reproduce only on macOS 14 Sonoma. The Safari App Extension behaves as expected on previous macOS versions, with no suspect error logs. Does anyone know what this issue is about?

I'm attempting to reload a Safari Content Blocker from within a sandboxed command-line tool configured as a LaunchAgent. However, when I use SFContentBlockerManager to reload the content blocker, I encounter the error SFErrorDomain Code=1: Unavailable error. Is it possible to reload a content blocker from a LaunchAgent? If so, how can it be done? // // main.swift // BlockerUpdater // // Created by Sebastian Livoni on 30/06/2024. // import Foundation import SafariServices // Function to reload content blocker asynchronously func reloadContentBlocker() async { NSLog("Hello, World!") do { try await SFContentBlockerManager.reloadContentBlocker(withIdentifier: "me.livoni.blocker.dns") NSLog("Reload complete") } catch { NSLog("Failed to reload content blocker: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } // Main entry point for async code @main struct BlockerUpdater { static func main() async { await reloadContentBlocker() } }

In Safari, when there are two password fields side-by-side, they are actually asking for different passwords. However, the browser's autofill might automatically fill the second field with the same password as the first, assuming it's a confirmation.
