Current Behavior

I embedded a YouTube iframe player in my application. Whenever any code accesses document.cookie, it causes the player to pause automatically.

This issue currently only occurs in the Capacitor iOS environment when using the Capacitor cookie plugin.

Expected Behavior

Accessing document.cookie should not affect the state of the YouTube iframe player.

Additional Information

I've also opened the same issue with Google, and I'm not sure which side the problem is actually on.

After further research and verification, I believe this issue is related to the code here:

https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/blob/90f95d1a829f3d87cb46af827b5bfaac319a9694/core/native-bridge.ts#L421

Capacitor uses window.prompt to transfer data. And YouTube iframe player pauses after the prompt is called. I don't know why the YouTube iframe player pauses after a prompt call, and whether this behavior is necessary.
