iOS10 Beta: Mail App - Video's back
So... the <video> tag is back. Quick test today on an iPhone 5s running the beta shows a play button, and then when you hit the button the video plays as it did in iOS7.
One other observation at the moment, position: -webkit-sticky no longer works as scrolling seems to have changed (position: fixed doesnt work - as per 8/9).
Hi James. I just installed iOS 10 on an iPod Touch. I can confirm that
<video>seems to work as expected.position:stickydoesn't seem to work, but it's not working either in the latest versions of iOS 9.Thanks Rémi, must have stopped working in 9.3.3 Beta? I've only got 9.3.2 to hand, I'll grab an old iPhone 5 and check 9.3.3.
I'm on iOS 9.3.2 too on an iPhone SE. I've got an example working on Safari, but not on Apple Mail.
Back after a while, just 9.3.3 beta on an iPhone 5 and sticky still works.
I've been doing some more testing in iOS10 and there is something going in the viewport. Using media queries I can get the height of the viewport reported correctly in iOS9, but in iOS10 media queries are only returning a height of 1px, whilst the width is returned correctly... I'm sure they'll be more to follow on this as the betas are rolled out.
Another curiosity, if you double tap a message content in Mail in iOS10 the message scrolls up to meet the top of the available space. Only tested on iPhone 5s so far.
Hey Rémi. What do you call 'work as expected'? Couldn't make it work on my iPhone 6s with iOS 10 beta. Video still opens in a pop up video screen and the Litmus email with video background did not want to work for me :(
I meant that videos now work in Mail as they work in Safari on iOS. So videos need to be activated by a user. (Although Safari 10 on iOS seems to have a new attribute to automatically play videos inline when a video file has no sound, I haven't tried this yet.)
