With no change to code, all our apps that generate a PDF in WKWebKit now show a blank page. Mac only.
The apps are not designed for Mac they are iOS apps that work for iPad on M1 chip or above Macs. On iPad iPhone, PDF loads correctly
This is a recent thing across all our apps on Mac, with no updates and no changes to code and on different versions of MacOS.
