Thanks for reporting this, @bdenhollander.

This appears to be correct. This matches up with the timeline suggested by https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180329, too, since skipWaiting was implemented shortly after the release of Safari 11.

To fix this, I'd welcome a PR from you or another contributor that sets the Safari (11.1) and Safari for iOS (11.3) values in ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.json. Thanks again!

@ddbeck PR created. Is there a way to confirm whether Clients.claim() was also added in those versions?

@bdenhollander sorry, I forgot to follow up on that piece. I tested it and it looks like the entire Clients API shipped in 11.1/11.3. I'd welcome a PR for that too!

I merged #8937 which fixes the api.ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.skipWaiting data. I decided to leave this open for claim.
