I get a pop-up window asking "Do you want to download "occ" in my Safari browser

I recently updated to iOS 18.0 a couple days ago. In my Safari web browser i get a pop-up window asking me if I want to download occ. I had this occur several times on different sites. I “x” the window closed. I have no idea what ‘occ’ is and as a precaution will not download anything that I have no clue about. see attached screen shots below.

Thanks

So, I have spoken to the escalation team. They were able to see it happening real time on my device. They are bumping this up to the engineers. It hapoens on Chrome and Safari. News type sites. Post iOS 18 update.


There’s nothing that basic troubleshooting can do so PLEASE DON’T FACTORY RESET IF A SUPPORT PERSON TELLS YOU TO RIGHT NOW. 😨


They were largely unaware of the problem because I’m assume the gross majority of people did not reach out to them. (I did show them the number of folks here via screen-share).


I will be contacted on Tuesday after the engineers have taken a tinker. Hopefully they can fix it fast.


I was given a direct contact to the escalation team member in case something else pops up.


So! Until then the directive from Apple is: Do not download anything from a pop up, avoid those news sites for the time being if you can. (Don’t wanna accidentally click).


I’ll loop back Tuesday. 👋🏽

I don’t know if this solution will help anyone else on the pop-up to Download the Website but if you have your VPN on, turn it off then open Safari. Go to your website that you are trying to open and see if it opens. It should open. You can turn your VPN back on once your website is open. This is what I had to do to get my website to open. It worked for me. I hope this helps.
