I cannot find any examples yet Tue, 04 Nov 2025 12:10:27 GMT koyno https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/805997 As the title suggests, given today’s overpowered device performance, shouldn’t Safari and WKWebView allow repainting during window resizing? Currently, all WKWebView-based apps pause page rendering during resize. When a user double-clicks the drag region, the sequence goes: pause rendering → enlarge or shrink the window → leave a blank area → repaint the page. The whole process feels inelegant—especially on devices that support ProMotion.

There's an open issue for Cordova and another one for Capacitor. In these apps, the app is served using a custom scheme like capacitor://localhost or ionic://localhost.

But some few times I've noticed the URL just opens to that URL in safari. I have had this app clip live for months now so should not be the normal 3 day or so wait. The app clip status is validated for debug and cache in build metadata. When I run diagnostics on my iPhone it says the URL is too long but the data reads every time the app clip is launched so I think that should be okay. My suspicion is that the URL I use hits my server and redirects to the actually app clip url. So I'm thi...

OIDC/OAuth2 works very well. But I am struggling with SAML. It works, but it seems that the form submission is always triggered twice. I use decisionHandler(.cancel) to stop the form submission and redirect it to the browser. I still get the form submitted both by the extension and by the browser. At some point I tried to allow the form submission in the Extension so that I get the redirect with the response to the browser. It still triggered another submission.
