declarativeNetRequest addOrReplaceParams adds a parameter when already present
I'm trying to use DNR to force safe search with Qwant search engine. Under certain circumstances (scenario described below) the search is performed with an API which contains the safe search level in a URL parameter. A typical query URL is https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q=test&count=10&locale=fr_FR&offset=0&device=desktop&tgp=1&safesearch=0&displayed=true&llm=true. I want a DNR rule to force safesearch to be 2 (= strict) (from some javascript code) : { id: 1, priority: 1, action: { type: 'redirect', "redirect": { "transform": { "queryTransform": { "addOrReplaceParams": [{ "key": "safesearch", "value": "2" }] } } } }, condition: { "urlFilter": "api.qwant.com/v3/search", "resourceTypes": ["xmlhttprequest"] }, } When this rule is activated, I end up with a URL with the original safesearch parameter AND the forced one : https://api.qwant.com/v3/search/web?q=test&count=10&locale=fr_FR&offset=0&device=desktop&tgp=1&safesearch=0&displayed=true&llm=true&safesearch=2. To reproduce this request (with the previous DNR rule in place) : navigate to https://www.qwant.com search for some string (test in my case). This displays the list of results ; click the engine button at the top right to display the settings pane ; inspect network request performed by this page ; change the Adult filter in the list -> the results are automatically updated with the new settings. The web request shows URL with the 2 safesearch parameters. I already used addOrReplaceParams in 'standard' contexts (main_frame) and it works just fine. Any hint on what goes on ? Thank you.

SafariDomains Per App VPN Profile Error on iOS 26.0
iOS 26 (from beta 1 to beta 2) We have a VPN app that installs a per-app VPN profile with SafariDomains to filter Safari network traffic. This setup works as expected on iOS versions lower than 26.0. See here more details on SafariDomains: https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf On iOS 26, all SafariDomains configured to go through the per-app VPN result in the following error: "Safari can’t open the page. The error was: Unknown Error" Additional Details: Only SafariDomains encounter this error. Other managed apps traffic through the per-app VPN works correctly. Steps to Reproduce: Install the VPN app with a per-app VPN profile. Configure SafariDomains with any URL (e.g., example.com). Open Safari and navigate to the configured URL. Example Configuration: We tested with a simple example by adding only one URL to SafariDomains (example.com). Logs from the console were captured at the moment Safari opened and encountered the error. safari_google2.txt Has anyone else encountered this issue on iOS 26? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

ASWebAuthenticationSession cookies and Safari
Hi! I'm trying to implement ASWebAuthenticationSession to log in to my app via the web app backend. However, I'm a bit confused about the cookies that this has access to. When I set prefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession=false it does not seem to use the cookies from Safari. Or at least, I'm logged into my web app in Safari, but when I use ASWebAuthenticationSession I still have to log in again. Does it not share session cookies with Safari? I did notice that if I don't use an ephemeral session, once I log out and try to log back in my app does automatically log me in but that's actually unhelpful in my opinion because now I have no way to clear that session because it only lives in the ASWebAuthenticationSession context. If that's the case I may as well use the ephemeral session then because it seems to have only drawbacks.

WebView Bridge Communication Issue After Xcode 16 Update - iOS 18 SDK
Issue Description I'm developing a hybrid iOS app and encountering WebView bridge communication issues after updating to Xcode 16 with iOS 18 SDK. App Architecture AViewController: Initial view controller displayed at app launch Handles WebView setup and web-to-native bridge communication Pushes BViewController when receiving "B" bridge message from web BViewController: View controller stacked on top of AViewController Managed by navigation controller AViewController's WebView continues bridge communication even when BViewController is active Problem Behavior Xcode 15 (iOS 18): WebView bridge communication in AViewController works normally while BViewController is active Xcode 16 (iOS 18 SDK): Server communication breaks or hangs without response while BViewController is active Communication resumes only after popping back to AViewController from BViewController Questions Is the current architecture (configuring WebView in AViewController and maintaining bridge communication through AViewController's WebView while BViewController is presented) not a recommended pattern? Is Xcode 16's iOS 18 SDK the cause of this issue? If so, could you help me understand which specific changes are affecting this behavior? This is urgent as we need to deploy soon. I would greatly appreciate a prompt response.

Cookie Missing After App Upgrade During OAuth Consent Flow on iOS (Safari ITP?)
Scenario Overview: In our app, we open an in-app browser to complete a third-party consent flow. The sequence is: App → Website A (set cookie and redirect) → Google → Website A (check cookie) → App After upgrading the app, the first consent attempt fails because the cookie cannot be written, causing the check cookie step to fail. However, if we use the native Safari browser, this issue does not occur. Observed Behavior: Scenario Result Upgrade app → Consent ❌ Fail Upgrade app → Consent fail → Consent again immediately ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent fail → Upgrade again after 1–2h → Consent ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent fail → Upgrade again after 1d → Consent ❌ Fail Install a new app → Consent ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent, cancel flow → Consent again ✅ Pass Install new app → Wait for upgrade → Upgrade app → Consent ✅ Pass Install new app → Wait 1–2h → Upgrade app → Consent ✅ Pass Investigation: From Safari documentation, this seems related to Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), which restricts cross-site cookie behavior during first-party interactions. However, I haven’t found a clear mitigation strategy yet. Question: Has anyone encountered similar issues with Safari ITP after app upgrades? Are there recommended approaches to ensure cookies persist across this redirect flow?

Safari 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2 Download Issue in AngularJS Application
We are encountering a download issue in Safari 18.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.2 where file downloads initiated by our AngularJS application (such as Excel exports) are silently blocked. There are no errors in the browser console, and the download does not occur. Interestingly, after testing on Safari 18.3 with Sequoia 15.3, the downloads worked as expected. However, the problem reappeared on Safari 18.4 with Sequoia 15.4. We suspect that recent changes in Safari’s security or download handling may be preventing downloads triggered via asynchronous JavaScript (e.g., AJAX calls) that are not initiated directly by user interaction. We would appreciate any insights, suggestions, or possible workarounds from the community. Looking forward to your guidance on this matter.

WKWebView: Fullscreen API User Gesture Bypass
Howdy, WKWebView feature request: allow Fullscreen API without User Gestures similar to ElectronJS' userGesture: true flag that allows devs to bypass user gesture restriction for Fullscreen API and similar executeJavaScript(code[, userGesture]) https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents#contentsexecutejavascriptcode-usergesture afaik this is allowed because of a fairly recent update to Chromium that also allows users to give Fullscreen API permissions per domain https://chromeos.dev/en/posts/using-the-fullscreen-api-without-gestures Would be greatly useful for a use case in my cross-platform app, so I can avoid rewriting all platforms to use Chromium Thanks

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!

Displaying spatial photos and videos on web pages in Safari
Cross posting from Spatial Computing, apologies if this is not the appropriate forum. The purpose is to create a simple web-based gallery of spatial photos and videos using static html files. I have successfully displayed spatial photos using the img tag and IMG.heic files. I can tap and hold the image to bring up the contextual menu and from there select View Spatial Photo. Is there any way to add a control to the image, like a link or overlay on the image itself, that a user can simply tap to show the image in 3D? And how to host a (small!) video file on a web page without going through a CDN/streaming service? Sample html would be much appreciated.

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.

SFSafariApplication doesn't transmit messages to docked website.
Hi! I'm working on a web extension for Safari and I need to send messages from the containing application to JavaScript. For this I use the method class func dispatchMessage( withName messageName: String, toExtensionWithIdentifier identifier: String, userInfo: [String : Any]? = nil ) async throws of the SFSafariApplication class. If the site is opened in Safari in normal mode, everything works as expected. However, if the site is "docked", the messages are not transmitted to this "Web App". Is it possible to somehow link the container application to the docked website so that messages from the application are received by this "Web App"? That you.

LocalOverride Request regular expression broke dev tools
Hello, I'm using Safari 18.2 on Sonoma 14.6.1. I was using the Developer Tools to do a Local Request Override in the Source tab for a CSS file that had a changing query string. I thought I had a good regular expression to catch all variants, but apparently it was too generic and possibly wrong, and made both Source and Network tabs no longer work in my Safari. The regular expression I entered for the Local Request Override was: //build/style.css(?.*)?$ Now my dev tools is broken to the extent that the Source and Network tabs no longer work. The slide-out panel on Source that shows Breakpoints, LocalOverrides, etc no longer shows. The toggle for it does, but does nothing now. UI in general looks a little wack on both tabs. So, since I can't turn off the Local Request Override, I've been trying to locate where Safari may have stored it to manually delete it. Not having a lot of luck on that front. It seems to me that Safari was unable to escape my regular expression correctly and it then causes additional issue. Just a guess though. Any advice or help in getting Safari Source & Network working again / manual removal of the LocalOverride would be greatly appreciated. I'm fluent in OSX and Linux, but grep was not much help surfacing anything that worked. Thanks in Advance, possibly a Safari bug as well.

Cookie Missing After App Upgrade During OAuth Consent Flow on iOS (Safari ITP?)
Scenario Overview: In our app, we open an in-app browser to complete a third-party consent flow. The sequence is: App → Website A (set cookie and redirect) → Google → Website A (check cookie) → App After upgrading the app, the first consent attempt fails because the cookie cannot be written, causing the check cookie step to fail. However, if we use the native Safari browser, this issue does not occur. Observed Behavior: Scenario Result Upgrade app → Consent ❌ Fail Upgrade app → Consent fail → Consent again immediately ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent fail → Upgrade again after 1–2h → Consent ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent fail → Upgrade again after 1d → Consent ❌ Fail Install a new app → Consent ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent, cancel flow → Consent again ✅ Pass Install new app → Wait for upgrade → Upgrade app → Consent ✅ Pass Install new app → Wait 1–2h → Upgrade app → Consent ✅ Pass Investigation: From Safari documentation, this seems related to Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), which restricts cross-site cookie behavior during first-party interactions. However, I haven’t found a clear mitigation strategy yet. Question: Has anyone encountered similar issues with Safari ITP after app upgrades? Are there recommended approaches to ensure cookies persist across this redirect flow?

Safari 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2 Download Issue in AngularJS Application
We are encountering a download issue in Safari 18.2 on macOS Sequoia 15.2 where file downloads initiated by our AngularJS application (such as Excel exports) are silently blocked. There are no errors in the browser console, and the download does not occur. Interestingly, after testing on Safari 18.3 with Sequoia 15.3, the downloads worked as expected. However, the problem reappeared on Safari 18.4 with Sequoia 15.4. We suspect that recent changes in Safari’s security or download handling may be preventing downloads triggered via asynchronous JavaScript (e.g., AJAX calls) that are not initiated directly by user interaction. We would appreciate any insights, suggestions, or possible workarounds from the community. Looking forward to your guidance on this matter.

WKWebView: Fullscreen API User Gesture Bypass
Howdy, WKWebView feature request: allow Fullscreen API without User Gestures similar to ElectronJS' userGesture: true flag that allows devs to bypass user gesture restriction for Fullscreen API and similar executeJavaScript(code[, userGesture]) https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents#contentsexecutejavascriptcode-usergesture afaik this is allowed because of a fairly recent update to Chromium that also allows users to give Fullscreen API permissions per domain https://chromeos.dev/en/posts/using-the-fullscreen-api-without-gestures Would be greatly useful for a use case in my cross-platform app, so I can avoid rewriting all platforms to use Chromium Thanks

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!

Displaying spatial photos and videos on web pages in Safari
Cross posting from Spatial Computing, apologies if this is not the appropriate forum. The purpose is to create a simple web-based gallery of spatial photos and videos using static html files. I have successfully displayed spatial photos using the img tag and IMG.heic files. I can tap and hold the image to bring up the contextual menu and from there select View Spatial Photo. Is there any way to add a control to the image, like a link or overlay on the image itself, that a user can simply tap to show the image in 3D? And how to host a (small!) video file on a web page without going through a CDN/streaming service? Sample html would be much appreciated.

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.

SFSafariApplication doesn't transmit messages to docked website.
Hi! I'm working on a web extension for Safari and I need to send messages from the containing application to JavaScript. For this I use the method class func dispatchMessage( withName messageName: String, toExtensionWithIdentifier identifier: String, userInfo: [String : Any]? = nil ) async throws of the SFSafariApplication class. If the site is opened in Safari in normal mode, everything works as expected. However, if the site is "docked", the messages are not transmitted to this "Web App". Is it possible to somehow link the container application to the docked website so that messages from the application are received by this "Web App"? That you.

LocalOverride Request regular expression broke dev tools
Hello, I'm using Safari 18.2 on Sonoma 14.6.1. I was using the Developer Tools to do a Local Request Override in the Source tab for a CSS file that had a changing query string. I thought I had a good regular expression to catch all variants, but apparently it was too generic and possibly wrong, and made both Source and Network tabs no longer work in my Safari. The regular expression I entered for the Local Request Override was: //build/style.css(?.*)?$ Now my dev tools is broken to the extent that the Source and Network tabs no longer work. The slide-out panel on Source that shows Breakpoints, LocalOverrides, etc no longer shows. The toggle for it does, but does nothing now. UI in general looks a little wack on both tabs. So, since I can't turn off the Local Request Override, I've been trying to locate where Safari may have stored it to manually delete it. Not having a lot of luck on that front. It seems to me that Safari was unable to escape my regular expression correctly and it then causes additional issue. Just a guess though. Any advice or help in getting Safari Source & Network working again / manual removal of the LocalOverride would be greatly appreciated. I'm fluent in OSX and Linux, but grep was not much help surfacing anything that worked. Thanks in Advance, possibly a Safari bug as well.

Is the branded email feature available in France? What is the timeline?
Hello, I followed the instructions to set up a custom logo for our domain name Allogarage.fr, both for the brand and the domain. Everything appears to be correctly configured in Apple Business backend for several weeks now, but the logo still doesn’t show up in Mail. Is the branded email feature available in France? Are there any additional steps required?

Reveal "" logs from JavaScriptCore stack trace
I'm developing an application that makes use of a WebView. When resuming the app I occasionally run into an issue where the application just shows as a blank page.
