Web Application Support Current Status
Passkey Upgrades and Credential Managers
Apple is actively working on transitioning the industry away from passwords to passkeys, which are designed to make sign-ins easier and improve account security. For web applications, automatic passkey upgrades are a significant focus. Before implementing these upgrades, developers should use the get client capabilities API to ensure browser support. This transition is expected to accelerate the move away from traditional passwords (Streamline sign-in with passkey upgrades and credential managers).
Apple Pay on the Web
Apple Pay continues to expand its capabilities on the web. The latest updates include the introduction of funds transfer capabilities, allowing users to withdraw money from a stored value or bank account to any user card registered with Apple Pay. Developers should check with their payment processors to ensure support for these new features (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay).
WebXR and VisionOS
WebXR is a new addition to Apple platforms, enabling immersive web experiences. Developers can use the VisionOS simulator in Xcode to test their WebXR projects, even without a Vision Pro device. This ensures compatibility and functionality with VisionOS's new transient pointer inputs (Build immersive web experiences with WebXR).
Safari Extensions Management
Safari extensions can now be managed on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS through a new configuration. This allows IT admins to control which extensions are allowed, always on, or always off, and configure extension website access by domain and subdomain. This feature works with Safari private browsing, providing a visual indication of managed extensions (What’s new in device management).
