How can I send a POST request using PHP, and what certificates are required?
Currently, I have downloaded the following files on the backend: merchant_id.cer, apple_pay.cer, and a local cert.p12 file
This my code:
But,run error:cURL Error: unable to set private key file: '***/private.pem' type PEM%
Apple must comply with the requirements of the Level Index, the global digital credit gateway, and suspend gift cards and similar services until formal arrangements are made with service providers.
When the “Use Strong Password?” dialog appears and I select “Not Now” to manually enter my own password, the password I type is displayed in plain text instead of being masked. Since the input field is of type="password", the entered characters should be hidden as is standard for password inputs.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior and ensure that the password is properly hidden even after dismissing the strong password suggestion dialog?

Can the development team modify the screen text? Or can the country code be erased?
What are the reasons for continuing to be "on the phone" if the country code is automatically attached to the phone like this?

iOS 18.4 introduces the new WKWebExtension API to support extensions in WKWebView. However, for extensions that have migrated to Manifest V3 and use an extension service worker as the background script, it's currently not possible to inspect them through Safari.
This is only thing I can see, I don't know how to inspect the details of the "background.js"
I'm wondering—has this changed? Is it now possible to inspect extension service workers?
Hello,
I am developing a Mac application via Mac Catalyst and encountering an issue with WKWebView. Specifically, I'm loading a webpage (e.g., https://translate.google.com) in WKWebView, but when I press the copy button on the page, the content doesn't actually copy to the clipboard.
I've attempted modifying the UserAgent without any success. Here is the relevant part of my code:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let config = WKWebViewConfiguration()
config.preferences = WKPreferences()
config.defaultWebpagePreferences.preferredContentMode = .desktop
let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: config)
webView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.addSubview(webView)
webView.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false
webView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
webView.scrollView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
webView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
webView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
webView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
webView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
if let url = URL(string: "https://translate.google.com") {
let req = URLRequest(url: url)
webView.load(req)
}
}
My Mac app and its Safari web extension share an app group, and I want to notify the web extension native process when the app makes a change to the app group NSUserDefaults, but I can't find a good way to do this.
According to the documentation, "You can use key-value observing to register observers for specific keys of interest in order to be notified of all updates, regardless of whether changes are made within or outside the current process." In my testing, however, this doesn't work in the web extension process. I'm using NSUserDefaults addObserver forKeyPath, but observeValueForKeyPath never gets called.
I've also tried NSDistributedNotificationCenter, but the web extension process doesn't receive the notifications sent by the main app.
Are either of these supposed to work? If not, are there any alternatives?
I'm creating an iPad app using Xcode 26 Beta 6. I have the following simple code and web page, but when I tap the file selection button, nothing appears. Do I need to add any additional code?
code

@State private var webPage = WebPage()
private let url = URL(string: "https://www.xxxx.com/")!
var body: some View {
WebView(webPage)
.onAppear {
webPage.load(URLRequest(url: url))
}
}
}

We’re encountering an issue when trying to add non-standard headers to outgoing requests using Declarative Net Request (DNR) rules in our Safari Web Extension.
Tested on macOS 15.4 with Safari 18.4.
Specifically, when attempting to add a custom header such as "X-Custom-Header" using a DNR rule, the header does not appear in the request. We are able to add standard headers like "Authorization" and "Cookie" to the request successfully using the same method.
This behavior suggests that Safari may be filtering or blocking non-standard headers when set via DNR rules, unlike other browsers.
In Chrome and Firefox, the same rule adds the "X-Custom-Header" header without any issue.
We are looking for assistance in fixing these issues and having our Safari Extension function the same as it does in Firefox and Chrome.
Can anyone of Apple give a status update whats planed with CC module scripts?

Push Notification Issue in iOS PWA App
We’ve been trying to implement push notifications in our iOS app, which is a wrapper around a Vite PWA built using PWA Builder. Here's a detailed overview of the issues we’re facing:
Problem Summary
We originally had a working Vite PWA and used Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for push notifications. When converting this PWA to an iOS app using PWA Builder:
The notification permission prompt did not behave as expected in Safari.
Even after requesting permission via a user gesture (e.g., button press), FCM token was not received.
On Safari (both Mac and Windows), permission sometimes works, but the token isn’t saved until Safari is closed and reopened.
In the iOS PWA app, the FCM token never gets retrieved.
We tried the same process on Chrome, and everything works flawlessly there.
What We’ve Tried
Wrapped the permission request and FCM token logic in a user gesture (e.g., button click), as recommended.
Confirmed our manifest includes all necessary fields (see below).
Tested across macOS, Windows, Safari (desktop), and the iOS app.
Manifest.json
{
"name": "Periscopio",
"short_name": "Periscopio",
"start_url": "/",
"display": "standalone",
"background_color": "#f2f2f2",
"lang": "en",
"scope": "/",
"description": "Facilitates the collection of primary data for market research purposes.",
"icons": [
{

"purpose": "any"
},
{

"type": "image/png",
"purpose": "any"
},
{
"src": "/maskable_icon_x192.png",
"sizes": "192x192",
"type": "image/png",
"purpose": "maskable"
},
{
"src": "/maskable_icon_x512.png",

}
],

"preferred_width": 400
},
"display_override": [
"window-controls-overlay",
"standalone"
],
"theme_color": "#08244c",
"orientation": "portrait"
}
Core Logic (Plain TypeScript)
1. Request Notification Permission + FCM Token
async function handleRequestPermission(): Promise<string | null> {
try {
console.log("Requesting notification permission...");
const permission = await Notification.requestPermission();
console.log("Notification permission result:", permission);
if (permission === "denied") {
console.error("Notification permission was denied.");
return null;
}
const token = await requestFCMToken();
console.log("FCM Token:", token);
if (token) {
console.log("Notification setup successful.");
return token;
} else {
console.error("Failed to retrieve FCM token.");
return null;
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error requesting FCM token:", error);
return null;
}
}
2. FCM Token Logic
async function requestFCMToken(): Promise<string | undefined> {
try {
let permission = Notification.permission;
if (permission === "default") {
console.log("Requesting notification permission...");
permission = await Notification.requestPermission();
}
if (permission === "granted") {
console.log("Notification permission granted.");
const isSupportedBrowser = await isSupported();
if (!isSupportedBrowser) {
console.error("This browser does not support FCM.");
return;
}
const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.register("/firebase-messaging-sw.js");
console.log("Service Worker registered:", registration);
const token = await getToken(cloudMessaging, {
vapidKey: "YOUR_PUBLIC_VAPID_KEY_HERE",
serviceWorkerRegistration: registration,
});
if (token) {
console.log("FCM Token:", token);
localStorage.setItem("fcmToken", token);
return token;
} else {
console.warn("No registration token available. Request permission to generate one.");
return;
}
} else if (permission === "denied") {
console.warn("Permission to notify was denied.");
return;
} else {
console.warn("Notification permission not granted.");
return;
}
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error getting FCM token:", error);
return;
}
}
Request for Help
We’d really appreciate support from anyone who’s successfully implemented FCM push notifications in a Vite PWA wrapped as an iOS app using PWA Builder.
Is there something we’re missing about how iOS Safari handles push permissions in PWA mode?
Could there be an issue with the service worker or the manifest setup that causes the token not to register?
Any Safari-specific quirks to be aware of?
Thanks in advance!

Hey,
very strange problem I have on iOS when shared web as an app (pwa) to home screen.
Whenever I use it via safari browser on iPhone, it works 100% fine every time. However, when I put it as an app on home screen, first time I open it it works fine, when i close it and reopen again, it just doesnt start recording. I have to restart my phone for it to work. So it works one time, I guess somehow it doesnt end stream or something, but in code I've tried all the possible ways to close and clean the track. tried GPT, Claude, Gemini solutions. nothing worked, it just works 1 time as PWA. my last hope is someone else encountered this issue and may try to help me ?

We are currently implementing the payment flow, and for handling payment details — including card entry and validation — we are utilizing a WKWebView. The webview securely loads the payment provider’s page, ensuring sensitive information such as card numbers are entered and validated directly within the web context.
I’d like to clarify that this change has not yet been released to Production. As part of a feature enhancement to our existing payment flow, we are transitioning to a new payment vendor, SnapPay.
While trying to load the SnapPay URL embedded within an iFrame in our iOS app, I observed the following error in the Xcode console. While this error may be generic, I wanted to highlight it:
825a18 - [pageProxyID=7, webPageID=8, PID=67346] WebPageProxy::didFailLoadForFrame: frameID=24, isMainFrame=0, domain=NSURLErrorDomain, code=-999
Upon investigating, we compared the headers from our existing payment URL and SnapPay's URL, and found that SnapPay includes the following Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header:
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors ...
"Content-Security-Policy" value="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' https://hcaptcha.com https://.hcaptcha.com https://code.jquery.com https://www.gstatic.com https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js https://test.lightbox.cardx.com/v1/lightbox.min.js https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/andi/ https://c.evidon.com 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' https://hcaptcha.com https://.hcaptcha.com https://fonts.googleapis.com/css https://stage.snappayglobal.com/Resource/ https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/andi/andi.css 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data: https:; font-src 'self' *.googleapis.com *.gstatic.com ; connect-src 'self' https://demo1.cditechnology.com https:; form-action https://hcaptcha.com https: 'self' *.ipg-online.com secure.bluepay.com https://test.api.lightbox.cardx.com https://3ds-acs.test.modirum.com/ https://demo1.cditechnology.com/; frame-ancestors https://snappaydirect-perf.fiserv.com 'self' file: https: http; frame-src .snappayglobal.com 'self' https://hcaptcha.com https://.hcaptcha.com https: https://www.google.com .ipg-online.com secure.bluepay.com https://.cardconnect.com https://test.api.lightbox.cardx.com/ https://test.lightbox.cardx.com https://paywithcardx.com/payment/auth.cgi securepayments.cardpointe.com *.cardpointe.com https://3ds-acs.test.modirum.com/ https://www.yokohamatire.com http://uat1-txt.ad.portal.texas.gov https://uat1-txt.ad.portal.texas.gov "
After multiple working sessions with the SnapPay team, we were able to confirm that when they disable CSP or remove the frame-ancestors directive, the iFrame loads successfully within our app. However, SnapPay cannot change on their CSP.
To enable the iFrame to load in the iOS app, we added the following line of code:
webView.configuration.preferences.setValue(true, forKey: "allowFileAccessFromFileURLs").
This resolved the issue with loading the iFrame. Note: the file being loaded is a local .html file,.
Before submitting this update to the App Store, I’d like to confirm whether this usage of allowFileAccessFromFileURLs is acceptable for App Store review.
I wanted to confirm that with this change is there a security concern for WKWebview?
I have a Safari extension that plays audio via the javascript AudioContext API. It was working fine under iOS 17 and is now broken under iOS 18. It does not play audio at all.
I've tried in both the iOS 18 public beta and the iOS 18.1 developer beta. It is broken in both of them.
I've also created Feedback item FB15170620 which has a url attached to a page I created which demonstrates the issue.
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
We have written a PAC script that blocklists certain domains and whitelists others. We went to Settings > Network > Wi-Fi (the network we are using), then clicked on Details, and under Proxies, we added the PAC file URL in the Automatic Proxy Configuration section.
We tried hosting the PAC file both on localhost and on a separate HTTP server.
After saving the settings, we tested several URLs. The blocking and allowing behavior works correctly in all browsers except Safari.
Below is the PAC script we are using for your reference.
The script works as expected in browsers other than Safari.
This is how the PAC script URL looks:
http://localhost:31290/proxy.pac
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
var blacklist = new Set(["facebook.com", "deepseek.com"]);
var b_list = [...blacklist];
for (let i = 0; i < b_list.length; i++) {
let ele = b_list[i] + "*";
if (shExpMatch(host, ele) || shExpMatch(url, ele)) {
return "PROXY localhost:8086";
}
}
if (isIPBlocked(whitelist_subnet, hostIP)) {
return "PROXY localhost:8087";
}
if (isIPBlocked(blacklist_subnet, hostIP)) {
return "PROXY localhost:8086";
}
return "PROXY localhost:8080";
}
"We have a multi-tenant EdTech platform serving over 1500 clients, each with a unique domain (e.g., client1.eduapp.com). We use WKWebView in a native shell. Due to WKAppBoundDomains restriction, we can't dynamically list all domains. How can we support dynamic tenants while maintaining cookie persistence"
"Can Apple suggest a best practice or alternative approach for apps using WebView/PWA shell architecture across multiple client domains?"
Problem:
We cannot predefine all 1500 domains in WKAppBoundDomains due to limitations.
As a result:
Service workers fail to register, breaking PWA functionality Ex: Offline.

Hello all,
I'm trying to retrieve geolocation data on the web, but I'm having trouble with the altitude value, which seems to differ from what I get on Android.
When using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition in Safari, is the altitude value based on mean sea level, or is it ellipsoidal altitude based on the WGS84 ellipsoid?
altitude (WebKit JS): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkitjs/coordinates/1631861-altitude
altitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/altitude
ellipsoidalAltitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/ellipsoidalaltitude
If anyone has any insight into this topic I would greatly appreciate it!

This is generated in the onvalidatemerchant event handler, and passed into session.completeMerchantValidation.
Using a sandbox account with linked cards, the next thing that happens is a "payment not completed" message in the ApplePay popup on the page, and the oncancel event is hit
Inspecting the event, I don't see anything that hints at the issue. There is a sessionError object, but its code is "unknown" and the info object is empty.
