Safari download error cannot write file

I didn't work on the new download manager in iOS 13, so MobileSafari may not try to show a preview every time now I'm not sure. This sounds like a bug we'd want to fix, but I can't predict whether it will be fixed by iOS 13 GM since it was reported quite late in the seed builds.

If it's not going to happen within, say I'm happy to help though if that will speed things along. Has anyone done any work on this since then? David - is it the case that all you're waiting for is a test case? Or has this been pushed down your list of priorities? Sorry, I should have been clearer about next steps when I posted previously.

Support for the "download" attribute was added in iOS If you have a specific use case with the "download" attribute that doesn't work in iOS Thank you for following up. In contrast, data: URLs work there. Is this on purpose? Both methods work correctly in Safari itself. Thanks for testing! Please file a new bug report for this follow-up issue so we can track it separately. I'm using file saver and download only opens a new tab in iOS This sounds like you are working on a WebKit-based application that needs to perform downloads.

WebKit does not do all the work of managing downloads -- you need to implement the various WKDownload delegate methods to handle specific details of file handling. You should be able to find examples of this in Firefox source code. I don't think what you are reporting is a WebKit engine bug though it may be a reflection of poor documentation on our side! I'm confused. What is the use case where this fails, if the problem does not occur in Safari, Firefox, or Chrome?

PTR failed, retrying in ms. Got you. But I can definitely remove it to try. And I do use AppDelete to remove any apps I don't use. So that's a problem as they find files that shouldn't be deleted? Communities Get Support.
