Ideally it should work because localStorage is supported in Safari. Either check in the settings if you have disabled JavaScript or run it on different iPad to verify if the problem is with the code.

Also, Wouldn't it be better if this is handled in the server side based on active session? storing in localStorage is vulnerable and wouldn't work in incognito mode

Our current solution check for server-side session id. But once user close browser tab accidentally, since the session id is still valid, system block the user from login. This is why we are looking for other options. All I want to know is, what is the event to capture the ta close in Mobile Safari.

Might be easier to just check on page load rather than if a new tab is opened. Also, beforeunload won't work for launching a new tab/window because you're not changing the current page. So would be easier to just check before page finishes loading if there is an existing session.
