Hello WebKit Team, I’m writing to ask if iOS provides a native way to intercept AJAX (XMLHttpRequest or fetch) calls inside WKWebView. On Android, this is handled via: shouldInterceptRequest(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) but iOS currently seems to have no equivalent. We’ve tried: WKURLSchemeHandler → works only for custom schemes URLProtocol with WKProcessPool → unreliable for AJAX in WebView JavaScript injection → partial and unofficial Could you please clarify: Is there a recommended native approach to intercept AJAX requests? If not supported, is it planned for future releases? Any official workaround or guidance? This is critical for debugging, analytics, and compliance in hybrid apps.

在 iOS 平台使用 WKWebView 通过file://协议加载本地 HTML 文件时，存储在localStorage中的数据会在 App 后台切换、进程重启后偶尔丢失；但相同代码在安卓 / 鸿蒙平台无此问题。 现在的文档 仅明确了「默认数据存储（defaultDataStore）可将网站数据持久化到磁盘，非持久化存储（nonPersistent）仅存内存」的基础规则； 未提及「file://协议内容即使使用默认持久化存储，也会被归为临时内存存储」这一关键场景限制； 仅在WKURLSchemeHandler关联说明中隐含「自定义 URL 协议可处理 WebKit 原生不支持的 URL 方案」，但未直接关联file://的存储问题。 我找不到如何处理这个问题的官方文档，仅仅有其他的博客说需要增加http/https加载就没有这个问题。 请提供给我官方文档或者官方回复 关于出现这种file:/加载html出现问题的处理办法

I'm building a macOS extension that needs to track multi-step navigation chains (A → B → C) to adjust behavior based on where users came from. Current approach: Using webNavigation.onBeforeNavigate to detect intermediate steps, but experiencing issues in Safari that don't occur on Chrome/Firefox/Edge. Questions: Is webNavigation the right API for tracking redirect chains in Safari? Does ITP/Private Browsing affect event delivery? Any alternative approaches recommended? (Safari version 26.0.1) Any guidance appreciated!

As of iOS 26.1, Safari and WebKit views have an issue when rendering the <details> html tag. The disclosure-closed icon / character appears as an emoji arrow ▶️ instead of the unicode character ▸ (U+25B8 - Black Right-Pointing Small Triangle) For example: <details> <summary>Summary</summary> <p>Additional details....</p> </details> This wasn't the case in iOS 26.0 / iOS 18. From what I can observe it seems ▶ (U+25B6 - Black Right-Pointing Triangle) may be used in iOS 26.1 which renders as the emoji ▶️ on iOS (at least as far back as iOS 18). The only workaround I found for the moment is to specify explicit CSS to revert back to using the ▸ (U+25B8 - Black Right-Pointing Small Triangle) details > summary { list-style-type: "▸ "; } details[open] > summary { list-style-type: "▾ "; } Is this expected? I've filed a feedback for this FB20997955. Thanks!

Hello i would like to report a bug on iOS 26 beta. The problem is on the epic games website you see when I hit sign in it is just blank but the epic games store is just fine i would like this to be fixed on iOS 26 beta 3 thank you.

Reproducibility 100% on iOS 15.4 and iOS 16.6 Zero crash on iOS 18.6 Xcode 26.1 Steps to Reproduce Xcode 26.1 → New iOS App Replace ViewController.swift with the 20-line code below Run on real device • iPhone XR iOS 15.4 • iPhone 13 iOS 16.6 Tap the link → breakpoint in decidePolicyFor lldb → po navigationAction.sourceFrame Actual Result (lldb) po navigationAction.sourceFrame nil Swift declaration lies: public var sourceFrame: WKFrameInfo { get } // non-optional → Instant EXC_BREAKPOINT libswiftFoundation.dylib`URLRequest._unconditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC Objective-C tells the truth: po [(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction fixedSourceFrame] nil iOS 18.6 → same code prints a valid WKFrameInfo, no crash. Expected sourceFrame must be declared WKFrameInfo? in Swift or at least documented “can be nil on iOS 15–16”. Impact Every WKWebView app that touches sourceFrame on iOS 15.4 & 16.6 ships with a latent crash. Production Workaround @implementation WKNavigationAction (Safe) (WKFrameInfo *)fixedSourceFrame { return self.sourceFrame ? self.sourceFrame : nil; } @end Minimal Test (copy-paste) import UIKit import WebKit class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate { lazy var web = WKWebView(frame: view.bounds) override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() web.navigationDelegate = self view.addSubview(web) web.load(URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")!)) } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, preferences: WKWebpagePreferences, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy, WKWebpagePreferences)->Void) { print(navigationAction.sourceFrame) // ← crashes on 15.4 & 16.6 decisionHandler(.allow, preferences) } }

Currently I am struggling to find a way to read the status of Safari Web Extension from settings as I can not find any public api listed for iOS as it is already available for macOS.

I use WKWebView to display a webpage that requires authentication through an authentication provider. This works as expected, but when I close and reopen the app, I have to reauthenticate. However, if I open the same page in Safari, I only have to authenticate once. If I close Safari and reopen it, the page displays without prompting me to authenticate again. I see some cookies stored in httpCookieStore, so I assume that storing cookies works. Does anyone have an idea why authentication is not persistent between app launches? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Marc

Hi, My app is using JavascriptCore to run the business logic in a javascript environment. We are randomly seeing crashes when users move the app back to the foreground. These crashes are reported by Firebase (I am attaching an example). I also tried to find them in Organizer, but the stacktraces don't match and I am not sure if they are pointing to the same error (I attach one just in case). I was trying to investigate a little bit about this, but I could find any explanation about what pas_reallocation_did_fail would mean. Here is our implementation: -(void) enqueueCallback:(JSValue *)callback withArguments:(NSArray *)args exclusive:(BOOL)exclusive { [self enqueueBlock:^{ @autoreleasepool { [callback callWithArguments:args]; } } exclusive:exclusive]; } Basically, every JS block is enqueued and then run by a dedicated thread specific to our JSContext. Can I get some help? Thanks in advance! Crashlytics.txt 2024-08-30_10-00-01.2572_-0400-f757f8306eda9679ec1b2ff90fbc66c4eb1fbee7.crash

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!

Hello - we have a Mac application that uses a browser extension and the web extension JS APIs to communicate with Safari. As of macOS 15.4 / Safari 18.4 the tab OnAttached and tab onDetached events are no longer received. After some testing we verified that the events were working properly as of macOS 15.3 / Safari 18.3 but appear to have been broken in macOS 15.4. Note a similar issue was reported previously for Safari 17.6 and was fixed in macOS 15.0 (FB14324177). We have made a TestFlight version of our app (Tabby) available to simplify debugging via https://testflight.apple.com/join/Va8Zdv9d. To reproduce the issue: Install the Tabby TestFlight build on macOS 15.4 or 15.4.1 Open Safari, go to Safari settings and select the Extensions tab Enable the Tabby extension and grant permissions to all windows all the time Open a Safari window with at least 3 tabs Note the open window and tabs displayed in Tabby In Safari, perform a tab detach by dragging a tab out of the window Expected behavior Within Safari the detached tab should now be in it’s own window, and via the onDetached event Tabby should update to show the tab in it’s own window AND removed from the original window. Observed Safari fails to send the onDetached event and Tabby will continue to display the detached tab in its original window in addition to the new window. You can also use the repro steps above to observe the onDetached event being received or not by Tabby in the Safari developer console. The same steps but re-attaching the tab to the original window can be used to observe the onAttached event being received or not. We’ve attached two screen recordings to the Feedback ID below, one showing the events working on macOS 15.3, and one showing the events failing to be received on macOS 15.4.1. Note it also fails on macOS 15.4. FEEDBACK ID: FB17367977

Hi all , I have 2 questions regaridng App Clips. 1 - can we directly invoke App Clips from a HTML Appclip experience url ? We want to directly take users to the App Clips flow without showing App Clips cards or banner. 2 - Does Apple have a plan to support other modern mobile browsers such as Chrome , Edge and Firefox ?

On iPhone 16 running iOS 18.0(Xcode 16.2), cookies configured with SameSite=None; Secure fail to apply correctly—iOS forcibly converts the attribute to SameSite=Lax. As a result, cross-site requests from H5 pages within our app cannot carry the required cookies, causing failures. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm using a webview in Swift, where I load an html file locally. Basically I have an angular project built and loaded directly into my app bundle. The webview requires the use of the camera. I request permissions via and javascript, the pop-up appears, I accept the permissions and the app works correctly. Only that after a certain number of seconds, the permissions are requested again. It's as if the webview doesn't cache the accepted permissions. Is this normal behavior?

Is the new Observations API for WebPage not available in Beta 1 as demoed in the WWDC video? I get this error even though Observation is imported.

Hi, How are we supposed to handle links with target="_blank" in the new SwiftUI WebView? I don't see anything in WebPage.NavigationDeciding or elsewhere that corresponds to the delegate method used for WKWebView.

Hello, I find it difficult to find information about this function, but Apple would allow you to download a Wallet ticket via a JWT signed token, without going through a pkpass, by calling the url https://wallet.apple.com/push/pass? Jwt= + jwt I have made several attempts with a different payload, either I am redirected to the Apple Pay presentation page, or I have a 403 error. I think I'm on my way, but I must miss a step in my signature. Could someone help me and give me the structure or how to manage the key? At the moment I use an Identifiers type PassType ID linked to a Certificate. Has anyone heard of this novelty? According to ChatGPT it should date from iOS 16-18 and potentially not be open to all devs. Thank you! Beautiful day
