Here is a code example: document.getElementById("mybutton").onclick = function() { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(register, register); } function register() { var options = {...}; navigator.credentials.create({ publicKey: options }) .then(console.log) .catch(console.error); } 1706259 1 webkit-bug-importer 2020-11-10 15:51:15 -0800 <rdar://problem/71258803> 2194020 2 marcosc 2026-03-26 11:34:54 -0700 Tested on a physical iOS device running current iOS/WebKit (March 2026). Both the baseline (direct tap → credentials.create()) and the bug scenario (tap → geolocation.getCurrentPosition() → credentials.create() from callback) succeed — the passkey sheet appears and completes normally in both cases. This is no longer reproducible. Closing as WORKSFORME.
