I want to switch from Apns to standard notificationApi browser notification, but when my website originally used Apns, I switched to standard API and called Notification for message notification. The notification didn't appear. I confirmed that Notification.permission is granted.

I am trying to access a camera from web view and I'm unable to load the updated UI in web view and web view gets flick for every few seconds. The updated UI has some more functionality, but the web page not getting loaded.

Hi, I am developing the Click & Read web add-on for Chromium, Firefox and Safari. We use xcrun safari-web-extension-converter tool to generate the Safari add-on. The build on Xcode had no meaning errors/warnings, until we had to switch to a more up-to-date MacBook (required as deprecated Mac had no support for latest macOS and thus for Xcode compatibility !). So now I build my add-on on an Apple M1 MB Air on Sequoia 15.0 with latest Xcode, but I encounter an error ? or warning ? : NSBundle file:///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MetalTools.framework/ principal class is nil because all fallbacks have failed Unable to create bundle at URL ((null)): normalized URL null Unable to create bundle at URL ((null)): normalized URL null Unable to create bundle at URL ((null)): normalized URL null But it doesn't prevent the add-on build to complete as I am able to open it onto Safari. Then, when loading the add-on on a test web page, I get this error on safari console: Error: Invalid call to runtime.connect(). No runtime.onConnect listeners found. BTW, the same add-on Dist works as expected on Chrome or Firefox (on macOS). So it seems the runtime listener runtime.onConnect.addListener isn't initiated on Background script... Thanks for your feedback and help

Hi. I've noticed on both iOS 17 and iPadOS 16 that when an user opens a website in a WKWebview (e.g from Gmail), then requests it to be opened in the external Safari app (through the "compass" icon), their localStorage data is not transferred to the Safari tab. This behaviour breaks web experiences that rely on data being locally stored, e.g auth tokens or user identification data. It effectively stops users from being able to use some websites outside of an in-app context. I am aware of Webkit's tracking prevention mechanisms such as https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/#partitioned-third-party-localstorage, but I don't think this should apply to this case. Here the user is navigating between two Safari tabs (one internal and one external) on the same domain, exact same URL, by pressing a native Safari webview icon. There is no third-party cross-domain tracking happening. Is this a bug or intended behaviour?

Hi, I am automating an ios AAP with Appium - 2.11.5 xcuitest - 7.1.0 ios - 17.5 I am working on a browser base application and a scenario where in a new pop up/new window is opened. So basically i have 2 windows now. Typically if print the window size at this point it should print me 2 windows. Not to worry for for context Native_app as i have a native app open in parallel. But when i print it shows me window length = 1. Window length ======= >>>> 1 [Ljava.lang.Object;@31add542 …WEBVIEW_97973.1 … curtent cotext WEBVIEW_97973.1 Context … NATIVE_APP Context … WEBVIEW_97973.1 You can clearly see here its only identifying 1 window. Parent window only - window length=1 My capabilities are set as follows capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, IOS); capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “iPhone 15 Pro”); capabilities.setCapability(“autoWebview”, TRUE_STRING); capabilities.setCapability(“autoAcceptAlerts”, true); capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, “XCUITest”); capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, “Safari”); capabilities.setCapability(“SFSafariViewController”, true); capabilities.setCapability(“appium:includeSafariInWebviews”, true); capabilities.setCapability(“safariAllowPopups”, true); capabilities.setCapability(“waitForIdleTimeout”, 0); capabilities.setCapability(“isInspectable”, true); capabilities.setCapability(“webviewConnectTimeout”, 5000); Kindly provide any pointers how to get read of this window issue. This is blocking automating all my flows in webflow. any help is much appreciated

Hi, I'm building a nextjs app based on of MapkitJS. I tried to pass a new value to cameraZoomRange like the code below. As long as I put in this part map.cameraZoomRange, the error shows up. Not sure it's my fault, or the bug of MapkitJS. const map = new window.mapkit.Map(element, { colorScheme: mqMatchLightTheme ? window.mapkit.Map.ColorSchemes.Light : window.mapkit.Map.ColorSchemes.Dark, showsCompass: window.mapkit.FeatureVisibility.Hidden, showsMapTypeControl: false, showsZoomControl: false, showsUserLocation: true, tracksUserLocation: true, isRotationEnabled: true, isZoomEnabled: true, }); map.cameraZoomRange = new window.mapkit.CameraZoomRange({ minCameraDistance: 14, maxCameraDistance: Infinity, });

Hi, I’m seeking information about the HLS protocol version supported in Safari on macOS. The official documentation only provides details about iOS support. Is there an official document that addresses this? Best regards

Hi, when I search for a gif on my IPH 15 pro max, after a little scrolling in browser when I searching for some Gif images, the phone starts to overheat and the browser crashes (safari, chrome, duck, brave, all of them) completely. All I can do is just quit from the search engines. That bug happens very quickly, after about 15 seconds. Please check for bug. Best regards.

Since update to Safari version 18 our browser extension stopped working. Our developers came to following conclusions:
 After saving a state of the extension (communication of the service_worker background script), the extension is blocked until user clicks to other window than Safari. After that the extension restarts and everything works correctly. Until next interaction with extension on the option page and popup window. We use for communication functionality chrome.runtime.onMessage. Extension sometimes incorrectly loads data from chrome.storeage.local and user loses all data Options page is always displayed in the new window instead of the new tab All problems described above were not happening in Safari version 17. Unfortunately there is no advice in the developer community, how to fix these problems. Anybody here experiences same problem or has a solution for it?

I'm trying to implement WebAuthn conditional credential creation but I'm not able to get it to work. From this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8a6ODX1zHY I understand I should call navigator.credentials.create with "mediation: conditional" but the explainer at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/wiki/Explainer:-Conditional-Registration-Extension also mentions a call to navigator.credentials.get with "mediation: conditional" and "extensions: { conditionalCreate: true }". The explainer seems to suggest they should be called both but for me, both calls never resolve with a credential or an error. What am I doing wrong?

I have noticed that storage.local.get API works differently in Safari 18 compare to other browsers and Safari 17. browser.storage.local.set({abc: 123}) browser.storage.local.get(console.log) // {abc: 123} browser.storage.local.get({abc: null}, console.log) // expect {abc: 123} but got undefined instead. According to MDN, storage.local.get should work with an object with object names as keys and the default value as value. According to Safari 18 Release notes, this may be related to a fix: 'Fixed getting an empty key from storage. (99440265) (FB11427769)'.

I'm tasked with securing a Safari browser extension that my organization created. It is using WebExtensions and has been launched across various browser extension stores, including Safari. I've searched for many hours on this and find very very little information on how to secure it. (Pretty much just https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Content_Security_Policy.) Is there anything more extensive/comprehensive? I'll be dealing with Safari Desktop as well as Safari iOS. By comparison, when looking for resources for securing the Firefox version of the extension, I found https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/build-a-secure-extension/, which I think is a great resource. Some of that content applies to Safari, but it's hard to know to what extent. I'll need to secure Safari web and Safari mobile (i.e. iOS), but for now I'm focused on web. (But if you have anything on mobile, then please let me know also.) Thank you!

I tried to create a content blocker for Safari and did it through Safari App Extension and Safari Web Extension. The XCode project for Safari Extension creates 2 applications: the “Main Application” (which is compiled into ".app") and the “Safari Extension” itself (which is compiled into ".appex"). If you want to create a content blocker, you must add “Content Blocker Extension” from the “File → New → Target” menu. This will be the third application in the group, which is also compiled into "*.appex". And now about differences... The first difference is that Web Extension does not have the right to work on any domains by default, unlike App Extension. For the App Extension, in the "info.plist" in the "SFSafariWebsiteAccess" section, we can remove "Allowed Domains" and in "Level" replace "Some" to "All". This is important because the content blocker should work on any domain, and not be turned on manually for each individual. This will not work in Web Extension and will have to be activated for each domain separately. The second significant difference between Web Extension and App Extension is that for security reasons it is more limited in page management. Web Extensions are supposedly focused on a common API for all browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge, Safari), but if I use Safari and want maximum integration with it, then I don't care about all those browsers. In this case, I don't need Web Extension. App Extension functions as a client-server even within the “Main Application”. This is quite expensive and can be fixed. You can remove the “webView” component from storyBoard and remove this files: “script.js”, “main.html”, “style.css”. After this you will get the pure storyBoard without any tinsel and communication between these layers. That’s will work perfectly because these are native Swift applications. p.s. To show the "Safari Extension" window after clicking on the icon on the toolbar, you need to change key from "Command" to "Popover" in the "info.plist" in the section "SFSafariToolbarItem" in the "Action". write your additions...

I'm trying to build a (personal) Safari extension, which should add an HTTP header when visiting a few websites. I'm a newbie at XCode. Using XCode, the build runs and the app runs correctly (the standard boilerplate code tells me that the extension is currently off). However, the extension doesn't appear in Safari>Settings>Extensions at all, so I cannot enable the extension. There are two warnings (warnings? or errors? fatal? or not?): NSBundle file:///System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MetalTools.framework/ principal class is nil because all fallbacks have failed Unable to create bundle at URL ((null)): normalized URL null ...I'm brand new to XCode so I don't really know whether these errors are fatal, and how to fix them if so. These warnings appear when the app runs, not during the build cycle. The plugin appears when issuing this command in Terminal: pluginkit -mAvvv -p com.apple.Safari.web-extension ...part of that response is: podnewsllc.Podnews-Security.Extension(1.0) Path = /Users/jamescridland/Library/(snip)MyApp.appex UUID = EA41(snip)3519 Timestamp = 2024-10-06 03:54:37 +0000 SDK = com.apple.Safari.web-extension Parent Bundle = /Users/jamescridland/Library/(snip)MyApp.app Display Name = MyAppName Extension Short Name = MyAppName Extension Parent Name = MyAppName Platform = macOS ...so it's visible to Safari, but it doesn't appear in Safari>Settings>Extensions. The codesign command says: --prepared:/Users/jamescridland/(snip)__preview.dylib --validated:/Users/jamescridland/(snip)__preview.dylib --prepared:/Users/jamescridland/(snip).debug.dylib --validated:/Users/jamescridland/(snip).debug.dylib /Users/jamescridland/(snip).appex: valid on disk /Users/jamescridland/(snip).appex: satisfies its Designated Requirement ... so I think it's signed correctly. Checking "Allow unsigned extensions" does not appear to change anything. I've tried running a rebuild of LaunchServices, but that hasn't fixed it. /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user My questions are: Is there a log to help me know what is going wrong? Does anyone have any idea why I can't see the extension in Safari? What next? Sorry for the dumb question.

Running a web server on localhost is breaking on the iOS Simulator. It is also blocking me from testing my mobile application. Full Log: Full Log

Firefox and Chrome provide various options and services to set up browser characteristics while testing. These can be used with Selenium while setting up the driver. An example with Firefox is setting a custom user agent and a download directory different than the default. Using Python: from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import \ Options as FirefoxOptions from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import \ Service as FirefoxService firefox_options = FirefoxOptions() # set up user agent user_agent = UserAgent().get_user_agent() firefox_options.set_preference("general.useragent.override", user_agent) # set alternate download location firefox_options.set_preference('browser.download.folderList', 2) firefox_options.set_preference('browser.download.dir', download_dir_path) Many of these browser-specific options and services are listed at Selenium's website under Supported Browsers. However, Safari's information is very limited. On Selenium's site, for example, they list how to turn on Safari's limited logging: service = webdriver.SafariService(service_args=["--diagnose"]). Then, they point us to About WebDriver for Safari - which shows automaticInspection and automaticProfiling. The page primarily describes security features for testing with Safari. In a regular user session, one can configure an alternate download directory, set a custom profile with specific settings for that profile, and so on. And, in the Developer Menu I can set some of these items manually for a given session (user agent, for example). How can I access these features within Safari for use in automated web testing with Selenium? Edit: Alternatively, does Apple have, or recommend, a different automated testing package for Safari?

I have an iframe for google map on this site: https://www.crumpler.com/pages/new-shop You can see the map upon clicking any location from the list. I am able to pinch and interact with the map on my iphone 14 and other mobile devices. But on older iphones on not-the-latest version of safari (iphone 13 mini and below), I am not able to interact with the map. Have you guys met with this problem before? Why might that be the case, cause I can interact with map embeds on other sites like https://nustem.uk/about/planning-your-visit/ on older iphones too?

I have noticed that tabs.onRemoved works differently in Safari 18 comparing to other browsers and Safari 17. Open a tab e.g. apple.com Take note of the active tab id using this code: browser.tabs.query({currentWindow: true, active: true}, (x) => console.log(x[0].id)) Add a listener on onRemoved: browser.tabs.onRemoved.addListener(console.log) on the active tab, navigate to e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org Take note of the active tab id again (using the same tabs.query). Expect: there should be no console.log of onRemoved. the active tab id stays the same. Actual: there is a console.log of onRemoved. the active tab id is changed. Please help. If this is a bug introduced in Safari 18, it would break a lot of JS Web extensions.

My website ccflood.us is a simple map that uses a CSV file for the data that is displayed on the map. It uses the ESRI JS API. Recently the points on the map began missing the text in the boxes only on Apple devices that have been upgraded to iOS 18. Has anyone also had this happen to their site? If you have upgraded to iOS 18, try this site on your iPhone then look at it on an Android phone or your desktop browser. You should seet the values in the boxes and a "+" at points that have no value. If you've had this happen with your site or have heard of a fix, please reply to this post.
