Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to determine which WebKit GitHub tags or commits are included in a specific Safari release. Is there a clear way to track which WebKit changes made it into different versions of Safari? Any tips or resources would be appreciated! Thanks!

I am creating a macOS WebKit based browser in Swift and when I load a game such as EaglerCraft or FNF in the browser, it does not accept keyboard input. However, JavaScript keyDown works, and input into text boxes works. So, why do games not work with input?

I am on macOS Sequoia 15.2, and Xcode 16.2

Below is my code:

import SwiftUI
import WebKit


class CustomWKWebView: WKWebView {
    override var acceptsFirstResponder: Bool {
        return true
    }
    
    override func keyDown(with event: NSEvent) {
        super.keyDown(with: event) // Pass the event to the web content
    }
    
    override func keyUp(with event: NSEvent) {
        super.keyUp(with: event) // Pass the event to the web content
    }
}

struct WebView: NSViewRepresentable {
    u/Binding var currentURL: String
    u/Binding var pageTitle: String

    class KeyPressHandlerView: NSView {
        override var acceptsFirstResponder: Bool {
            return true
        }
        override func keyDown(with event: NSEvent) {
            super.keyDown(with: event) // Propagate the event
        }
    }

    func makeNSView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
        let webView = CustomWKWebView() // Use the custom subclass

        // Configure WKWebView
        webView.configuration.preferences.setValue(true, forKey: "acceleratedDrawingEnabled")
        webView.configuration.websiteDataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default()
        webView.configuration.processPool = WKProcessPool()
        webView.configuration.preferences.setValue(true, forKey: "fullScreenEnabled")
        webView.allowsMagnification = true
        webView.allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures = true
        webView.customUserAgent = "MyCustomUserAgent/1.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.36"

        // Enable smooth scrolling and accelerated rendering if available
        if webView.configuration.preferences.responds(to: Selector(("scrollAnimatorEnabled"))) {
            webView.configuration.preferences.setValue(true, forKey: "scrollAnimatorEnabled")
        }

        // Set navigation and UI delegation
        webView.navigationDelegate = context.coordinator
        webView.uiDelegate = context.coordinator as? WKUIDelegate

        // Assign the created WKWebView to the shared instance
        WebViewController.shared.webView = webView

        return webView
    }
    
    func updateNSView(_ nsView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
        if let url = URL(string: currentURL), url != nsView.url {
            nsView.load(URLRequest(url: url))
        }
    }

    func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {

    }

    class Coordinator: NSObject, WKNavigationDelegate, WKUIDelegate {
        u/Binding var currentURL: String
        u/Binding var pageTitle: String

        init(currentURL: Binding<String>, pageTitle: Binding<String>) {
            _currentURL = currentURL
            _pageTitle = pageTitle
        }

        func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
            currentURL = webView.url?.absoluteString ?? currentURL
            pageTitle = webView.title ?? "Untitled"

I have tried giving elevated permissions, and I also tried to change some onKeyDown things, but so far nothing has worked.

Many thanks and happy new year!

I use a webkitgtk browser called Epiphany that only supports ad blocking through webkit content blocker json files. I was wondering if anyone here know of any repositories or urls serving these files?

Just curious how powerful it is

Hi everyone, I'm using Linux, and currently trying to build a cross-platform application that takes input from a stylus on a Wacom tablet. Specifically, I really need to get the stylus pressure. I decided to use Tauri, which unless I'm gravely mistaken is based on WebKit, at least on Linux.

I tried using the pressure property of PointerEvent, but it always seems to be equal to 0. On the other hand, I can get the X and Y coordinates of my pointer just fine.

I tried to see if the issue came from WebKit by visiting https://pressurejs.com/ using Epiphany, a WebKit-based browser, and indeed my stylus' pressure does not have an impact on the animations. On the other hand, the animations react to stylus pressure when I visit the webpage using Firefox.

I also tried using the webkitForce property of MouseEvent, instead of pressure from PointerEvent, to no avail.

So I have the following questions; any help on any one of those would be appreciated:

• Why does it seem that pressure is not valid in WebKit, even though this table indicates that it has been compatible with all considered browsers for a long time?
• Why does it seem that webkitForce is not valid in WebKit, even though... it has "WebKit" in the name?
• Do you know of an actual way to get stylus pressure in WebKit?

I am still a little fuzzy on the specifics of how WebKit interacts with webkitgtk, GTK, Tauri and the wry library, so sorry if my post is confused. If this is not a WebKit issue, but an issue in one of those other projects, please let me know.

Thank you for any help!

Is there an easy way (perhaps in WebKit) to search for a given word on the displayed web page?

In my app, I have a long help page written in HTML, displayed using Webkit (MacOS 12.6). I would like to be able to quickly search for particular keywords.

Some quick googling brings up lots of links about how to do an "on page" search within Safari (Cmd-F) but almost nothing about how to create such functionality myself. Or am I googling in the wrong direction?

Device : IPHONE 13 (MLPH3ZD/A)

Version : IOS 16.6

here are the 2 lines that appear within the instagram setting tab:

Version : 303:1.0.8.111

Branch Type : local

My account has a strange behavior. It behaves differently than what it used to.

​

• AI seems to be omnipresent within the app as I can see some people with strange answers that do not reflect the way they use to write to me.
  • The instagram "local" thing makes me reflect on the following : When I am at the peer house, and use the app, the person has stories and posts that are part of my center of interest and that really seem similar to what I see. But to an extent that it makes the app perform anormaly close to my online activity.
  • It is probably due to the "local network setting in "security and confidentiality part" and the fact that I was connected to her network (she could use a WAN & LAN servor as well). I saw that every time I connected to her wifi, it made the same. So I changed by typing on the "i" icon near the network name the, IP, DNs setting using a third party VPN app that allowed me to have a distant DNS (Ikev2) and a local one, switching between two countries ones. And then magic, the person trick didn't worked no more and she began to stress asking if everything was alright and the story sounds weren't the same.
• Live activities are activated and must be linked to "webkit" features that are unabled (without my consent) on my phone. I discovered these one when seeing the "advanced" tap within safari setting app.
• After that, I pointed out the data I let online during 12 years was in the hands of a lot of advertisers, which I denied after choosing the "partner part" of the cookie panel.

Conclusion : I still look for diverse point of views regarding what I evoked previously. I am determined to get rid of the spiderweb trap my previous digital marketing departement put me into, to expose myself to diverse marketing stimuli. I have rights as a human being for the protection of my data and the malicious use of my person as an object for brand exposures.

Thank you for staying until the end,

Hi, I know this sub isn't that active, but I figured there is not a better place to post this.

I was trying to build WebKit from source for the past few days now. And every time I get this (look at the end of the post) error, I tried re-cloning the git repository but it didn't help.

I am using macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra with Xcode version 10, which I guess could be the problem since they're kind of outdated, but the WebKit readme says this version is supported.

I tried both command line and Xcode build but they all fail.

Here is the output that the command line build gives (I edited my user's name if you don't mind):

Where does WebKit store the data (Browse History, etc) on Epiphany? Im trying to erase everything by code.

Submit email to form on https://iptv.fish

"URL is not valid or contains user credentials."

I'm using fetch natively in the browser and for some reason it thinks the email address is a credential.

https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/main/Source/WebCore/Modules/fetch/FetchRequest.cpp#L166

If you're on linux you can test with Epiphany browser. or iOS/safari

edit: I discovered I had a space in my endpoint url. lol weird ass fucking bug, works fine in chrome/firefox -- safari don't likey spaces

Hi. I Wana develop a pure c++ application and embed WebKit inside it.

What's the latest version of WebKit that supports windows xp?

I can't seem to find information on what version of webkit is used in a particular version of webkitGTK. Is there a chart somewhere that has a version correspondence list?

It seems like a shame that WebKit isn't available on Windows anymore, because it's great for designing and developing various unique kinds of browsers, while Google's Blink is heavily designed around developing Chromium-style browsers. Also, the lack of such a browser for Windows means that web developers that want to test against WebKit have to use MacOS or Linux, which doesn't seem like an ideal situation. This seems like it constrains the creativity and options of browser developers, in addition to making things harder than they have to be for web designers that are using Windows.

So, I'm looking to use WebKit.NET, and I saw in the API [documentation] (http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/docs/) that there are methods like getElementById, which I've seen JavaScript use often.

Are these methods there because thay're used by the JavaScript engine, or do they exist in the JavaScript engine because those are the methods that WebKit exposes?

Also, is there an event model, could I subscribe to the click event of a div, for example?
