Safari offers several new APIs and features as presented at WWDC:

  1. Safari Extension Configuration:

    • Safari extensions can now be managed on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. This includes defining which extensions are allowed, controlling whether an extension is always on or off, and configuring extension website access by domain and subdomain. This feature works with Safari private browsing and provides users with a visual indication of which extensions are managed.
    • For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in device management.
  2. Apple Pay on Non-Safari Browsers:

    • Users on iOS 18 can use Apple Pay on any non-Safari browser by scanning a code with their iPhone. This requires importing the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK version 1.2.0 or higher and using the JavaScript SDK Apple Pay button instead of the CSS implemented variant.
    • For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay.
  3. Funds Transfer Capabilities:

    • Expansion of funds transfer capabilities to the web, allowing users to withdraw money from a stored value or bank account to any user card registered with Apple Pay.
    • For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay.

These updates enhance the functionality and manageability of Safari, making it more versatile and integrated with other Apple services.
