            Bug ID: 165627
           Summary: itunes app links fail to navigate window.top when URL
                    inside timeout
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 10
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Frames
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mkhatib727 at gmail.com

These tests were done in this environment: 

top: https://hello.com
  iframe: https://whatsapp.com
     script loaded from: https://whatsapp.com
        executes in timeout -> window.top.location.replace('https://anylink.com') // <- Navigation works as expected
        executes in timeout -> window.top.location.replace('https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id828256236') // <- Nothing happens.
        executes in timeout -> window.top.location.href = 'https://anylink.com' // <- Navigation works as expected.
        executes in timeout -> window.top.location.href = 'https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id828256236' // <- Nothing happens.



Here's the real examples:
Using href = url inside timeout in cross origin iframes: http://top.webjs.run/top-location-redirect/index-12.html
Using top.location.replace(url) inside timeout in cross origin iframes: http://top.webjs.run/top-location-redirect/index-13.html


Notice in both examples, on Safari Mac OS X both of them redirects the user after 5seconds to itunes store (as expected).
On iOS Safari however, the first timeout (5 seconds) fails to navigate the user to itunes store (app or web page) and instead after 7 seconds the second timeout takes the user to google.com normally.
