Autoplay not working on iOS Safari when native fullscreen mode is enabled

[mdomarus]

###Expected behaviour

On iOS Safari Vimeo hosted video should start automatically.

Actual behaviour

Autoplay does not work

Steps to reproduce

https://codepen.io/mdomarus/pen/MMMVam

Autoplay works when the fullscreen.iosNative is set to false.

Environment

• Browser: Safari
• Version: Mobile
• Operating System: iOS
• Version: 12.2

Console errors (if any)

I'm 99.9% sure this is an iOS limitation rather than an issue with Plyr. Happy to be proven otherwise though.

Hi, also experiencing this issue with a Vimeo. Why would it be an iOS thing if it works with fullscreen.iOSNative = false?

Same with HTML Video/MP4 Video, got a console error:

Unhandled Promise Rejection: NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission. (anonyme Funktion) rejectPromise play

Plyr init:

          const player = new Plyr(videoIdSelector, {
            autoplay: true,
            controls: ['play-large'],
            autopause: false,
            muted: true,
            playsinline: true,
            fullscreen: {
              enabled: false,
              iosNative: false
            }
          });

Autoplay still not working, even with fullscreen.iOSNative = false (which is the default value, so this shouldn't needed at all?).

So it seems IOS Safari is currently blocking autoplay at all? No chance?
