Cancelling the "pick up annotation" animation
While implementing Apple Maps into our web application, I have a scenario where I want to be able to drag and move some of my custom annotations around. While that is working, when "picking up" the annotation before dragging it, there is an animation which I believe is to represent the human interaction of picking up a pin from a map, I would like to cancel that animation and thought that would be possible by calling preventDefault() in the emitted long-press event, which the documentation states that annotations should emit if they are draggable. The thing is that I don't get this event to emit when long pressing an annotation. So I believe that I have found a bug. It's in this paragraph in the documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/handling-map-events#Respond-to-map-interaction-events A long press occurs on the map outside an annotation. A long press may be the beginning of a panning or pinching gesture on the map. You can prevent the gesture from starting by calling the preventDefault() method of the event. Annotations need to be draggable to dispatch long-press events. In anybody else experiencing this or do you see any clear fix for this? Maybe there is another way to cancel that "picking up the annotation for dragging" animation. I have seemed to try anything else.

TLS re-negotiation fails with ios18.4
I'm running apache with following configuration. /cc require TLS client certificate / not require TLS client certificate Starting with ios 18.4, accessing /cc after / fails with following error: AH02261: Re-negotiation handshake failed, referer: https://www.example.com/... SSL Library Error: error:1417C0C7:SSL routines:tls_process_client_certificate:peer did not return a certificate -- No CAs known to server for verification? It seems like ios 18.4 does not support TLS re-negotiation. (It worked with ios 18.3 and before) Is this an expected behavior or a bug?

Safari Web Extension: How do I avoid "this extension can read and alter web pages"?
I have a web extension that I want to send data to, and receive a response containing modified data. My understanding is that the native app is only contactable by a background script. How does a webpage contact the background script? One answer is by adding a content script, which is able to communicate with the background script using browser.native.sendMessage(). Unfortunately this triggers a warning that "this extension can read and alter web pages". I do not want to read and alter web pages, nor do I want users to be concerned about a permission the app doesn't need. I just want to receive data, and then return a response. What API should I be using to achieve this?

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!

Push subscribe error User denied push permission
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, with up-to-date MacBook MacOS, Xcode et Safari : Sequoia 15.3.2, Safari Version 18.3.1 (20620.2.4.11.6), XCode Version 16.0 (16A242d). We have updated our addon to Manifest v3, having the Background script as Server Worker "background": { "service_worker": "background.js", "type": "module" } self.addEventListener("activate", (event) => { console.info("Service Worker activated", event); event.waitUntil( self.registration.pushManager .subscribe({ userVisibleOnly: true, applicationServerKey: urlBase64ToUint8Array( process.env.VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY ), }) .then(async (subscription) => { console.info("[Service Worker] Extension is subscribed to push"); const { subscription: savedSubscription } = await getLocalStorageKeyData("subscription"); if (savedSubscription) fetchApi({ url: `${API_SERVER_URL}/subscription/remove/${savedSubscription.keys.auth}`, }); // Remove previous subscription from server on addon activate currentBrowser.storage.local.set({ subscription: subscription.toJSON(), }); // Save subscription in local storage currentBrowser.runtime.setUninstallURL( `${API_SERVER_URL}/subscription/remove/${ subscription.toJSON().keys.auth }` ); // Set uninstall URL to remove notification subscription on addon uninstall fetchApi({ url: `${API_SERVER_URL}/subscription`, reqInit: { body: JSON.stringify(subscription.toJSON()), method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", }, }, }); }) .catch((error) => { console.error("Push subscribe error: ", error); }) // Subscribe to push notifications ); }); When trying to subscribe the addon instance to our Push server, we get this error : Push subscribe error: NotAllowedError: User denied push permission Our NodeJS backend is using the web-push librabry : https://github.com/web-push-libs/web-push) to save subscriptions and make notifications push. By looking for same errors on forums, the best hint I found is that it could be related to the testing is done on localhost (addon is built from XCode onto Safari, and Push server is running on localhost). Thanks for your help !

Unable to Launch Safari Driver
I am encountering an issue where we are unable to run or launch Safari Driver in our automation tests using macOS. When attempting to run safaridriver -p 8888 from the terminal, we receive the following error message: ERROR: safaridriver could not launch because it is not configured correctly or you need to authenticate. Re-run safaridriver(1) and pass the '--enable' flag to configure and/or authenticate. For more information, consult the safaridriver(1) man page. Despite running sudo safaridriver --enable as an administrator (even as root), the issue persists. I’ve searched through various online forums and GitHub repositories but couldn’t find a working solution.

Apple Pay button not showing up in apple pay demo site.
MacOS: 12 ( Monterrey ) Safari: 17.6 Demo Site: https://applepaydemo.apple.com/ At the bottom where the Apple Pay button should appear, I see a warning something like "This browser doesn't support Apple Pay, please use safari" along with a link to requirements for apple pay. All the requirements are fulfilled, OS and Safari's version are above the minimum required. Link was opened in Safari. And the other thing is if I open the same site in Chrome, I can see the apple pay button and when I click on it a QR appears which is the expected behaviour. How to resolve this?

Session cookie issue in Apple's Webkit
Dears, We are facing some issue in ios 18.4.1. Recently some of our end users who updated their ios devices to 18.4.1 have experienced random 403 errors in runtime. as per our analysis, We identified that these errors are associated with "CSRF token mismatch". After successful login, the user's CSRF token is causing issue and it was changed in runtime, this causes the cookie mismatch, and the users is getting 403 errors, and the user session is getting invalid suddenly. let me know if anyone facing the same issue in ios 18.4.1 and let me know Is there any workaround for this issue. Thanks.

Suggestions for OAuth2 in Swift
Hello! I have a few questions about integrating an OAuth2 API into my Swift application. I am using this API to access user data from the website (users will authenticate themselves within the app). I have seen other apps use this API in the way that I am describing it so I know that it is possible. However, I am not sure how to implement it. Are there any recommended ways to use an OAuth2 API in my application? The API that I am using does not specifically say that it supports PKCE. However, I have heard from some sources that it does. If it does not support PKCE, how do I still create a secure app infrastructure that will pass App Store Review? At a more basic level, what is the difference between OAuth2 and PKCE? What should I use in my app? Are there any resources to learn a little bit more about these protocols so that I understand them better? Thanks!

Calling SFContentBlockerManager.reloadContentBlocker from related App extension intermittently fails
I have an app which has at least two extensions: A Content Blocker extension with a request handler that returns an appropriate NSExtensionItem as part of beginRequest. A different file URL is returned depending upon if the content blocking is on or off by a user setting A Safari Web Extension that includes a toolbar button and popover that enables users to enable or disable the ad blocking of the content blocker extension All three targets (App, Content Blocker appex and Web Extension appex) use an App Group default to read and set the on or off status of the content blocking. When the user changes the content blocking status, the app group default is updated and SFContentBlockerManager.reloadContentBlocker(...) is called. The Content Blocker extension reads the default and then returns the appropriate file URL. The issue is, I have noticed that whenever SFContentBlockerManager.reloadContentBlocker(...) is called from the app, Safari always applies the correct rules from the returned file URL. However sometimes when SFContentBlockerManager.reloadContentBlocker(...) is called from the Safari Web Extension using native messaging, Safari does NOT apply the correct rules from the returned file URL. Using logging I have confirmed that the Content Blocker extension always returns the appropriate file URL irrespective if called as a result of the app or the web extension. Despite this, Safari does not seem to always apply the returned file URL rules when it is called from the Safari Web Extension appex. In these cases, quitting Safari and relaunching it seems to make it apply the rules correctly (obviously this is applying it due to its launch state, not due to the Web extension appex asking it to do so at that point). All targets have access to the App Group location where the active content blocking file URL belongs and the inactive content blocking file URL is within the Safari content blocker target as a resource. I don't think this is a memory status issue as I cannot see the Content Blocker extension being killed when it returns complex rules --- the fact it always works when called via the app also seems to rule this possibility out. This brings up a number of questions: Is calling SFContentBlockerManager.reloadContentBlocker(...) from a different appex, of the same app target and app group supported? (it seems to work sometimes and did work in previous versions of the app). Is there an issue that the Content Blocker extension sometimes returns a file URL that perhaps the calling Web Extension appex may not have access to (even though Safari should via the Content Blocker extension)? Any other ideas of why this may not be working correctly? Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to happen on both iOS and macOS Safari using the same codebase.

MacOS Tahoe - Traffic is not routed through PAC file
I am using a custom PAC file in network settings and till now with Sonoma & Sequoia OS, it was working perfectly fine and I was able to redirect traffic to my proxy server. After upgrading to MacOS Tahoe, this stopped working completely. What is happening now is no url is opening on my machine with Chrome & Firefox browser, but somehoe Safari is working. After checking, I found that my deployed network extension is intercepting traffic and allowing it to pass. But still, the pac file is not working. Are there any changes done in MacOS Tahoe regarding this PAC file? How can I resolve this issue?

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!

Behavior of Safari in HTTP/2 communication
I want to confirm the specifications and behavior of Safari. We have a system built on Microsoft Azure that uses Azure AD B2C for authentication. When we logging in, there is a phone authentication feature where a call is made to the registered phone number. However, this phone authentication does not work properly only on iPhone's Safari. The specific situation is listed below: When performing phone authentication on iPhone's Safari, a call is made from Azure AD B2C, and pressing the # button on the Safari screen can be done. But then, it transitions to an error screen. We tried multiple iPhone devices and multiple iOS versions, but the result was the same. But when accessing the system on a PC, and performing phone authentication, it works without any errors. Also when we use browsers other than Safari (for example, Google Chrome and Firefox) on the iPhone, the phone authentication works without any errors, too. Even with Safari, if the device displaying the login screen and the device making the call are different, phone authentication works without any errors, too.(it fails if they are the same device). We reached out Microsoft about this issue, and they responded that: The Azure resource called FrontDoor at the front end of Azure AD B2C supports the HTTP/2 protocol, and HTTP/2 protocol is used in communication with Safari. In Safari's HTTP/2 communication, when a call is received while the screen is displayed, a reset packet is sent to the web server (in this case, the web server is FrontDoor). This interrupts the session, causing a session termination error on the Azure AD B2C side, and phone authentication fails. Therefore, we would like to ask you the following two points: In HTTP/2 communication, does the Safari browser send a reset packet to the web server when it receives a phone call? If so, what is the cause of this behavior? And are there any measures to prevent the reset packet from being sent?

Smart banner for app doesn't work
Hello everyone. I have a very strange behavior with smart app banners in Safari. When I don't have installed app on my phone, I can't see the banner on our product main page. When I installed the app, I can see the banner, which allows me to go directly to the app. When I put any other app's ID in the meta tag it works perfectly even if I don't have its installed app. So the code is right, what can be the reason of this behavior? Any settings of the app are required?

Apple Pay on Web in Cross-Origin iFrame: Merchant Validation Failure Due to Referrer Header Reliance (Custom API Integration)
Hi Apple Developer Community and Support, We are implementing Apple Pay on the Web and are encountering a persistent issue with merchant validation when the ApplePaySession is initiated from a JavaScript application running within a cross-origin iframe. Our Setup: Top-Level Domain: https://application.my.com/ (where the Apple Pay button is displayed, and the iframe is embedded) iFrame Content Origin: https://cashier.my.com/ (Our custom JavaScript application that handles the Apple Pay integration and directly calls our Payment Service Provider's (PSP) API for merchant validation). iFrame allow attribute: The iframe correctly includes allow="payment *". The Problem: When a user clicks the Apple Pay button, the ApplePaySession is successfully created and the Apple Pay sheet opens in Safari iOS. This suggests the browser recognizes the allow="payment *" attribute and allows the API calls. However, during the session.onvalidatemerchant callback, our JavaScript code makes a direct API call to our PSP (Nuvei)'s endpoint. This call consistently fails with an "Invalid domain name!" error, and the Apple Pay sheet then shows "Payment Not Completed." PSP's Diagnosis: Our PSP (Nuvei) has investigated and stated that for this specific endpoint (getAppleValidationApiFlow.do), "there is no explicit way to pass domain to the endpoint and domain for which session is issued is based on 'Referer' header." Our Question for Apple: Given that Safari 17+ now supports allow="payment" for cross-origin iframes to enable Apple Pay APIs, we have the following questions: What is Apple's official guidance or expectation regarding the Referer header for ApplePaySession.onvalidatemerchant calls when the ApplePaySession is instantiated from a cross-origin iframe? Is it expected that the Referer header for calls originating from the iFrame will always be the iFrame's origin? Does Apple's merchant validation process (when the PSP calls apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession) itself rely on or interpret the Referer from the initial client-to-PSP call? Are there recommended best practices or standard approaches for PSP integrations in this cross-origin iFrame scenario to ensure the Referer validation (or equivalent domain validation) is correctly satisfied? We're trying to understand if our PSP's specific reliance on the Referer for this validation is a standard requirement implicitly set by Apple for this flow, or if there are other architectural approaches that should allow this scenario to work seamlessly. Thank you for any insights or guidance you can provide.
