Hi,
i've updated my iPhone to iOS 13.3 and now the AutoPlay for YouTube video doesn't work (B4i 6.80).

My log is:

Method not found: setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction:, target: <WKWebView: 0x102184600; frame = (0 0; 375 667); animations = { bounds.origin=<CASpringAnimation: 0x28205a560>; bounds.size=<CASpringAnimation: 0x28205a6a0>; position=<CASpringAnimation: 0x2820587c0>; }; layer = <CALayer: 0x2820697e0>>

How can I correct the error?

'WebView' in old releases was a wrapper for UIWebView. Now 'WebView' is a wrapper for WKWebView, because Apple Store does not accept UIWebView any more.

setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction was in UIWebView. In WKWebView you need to create WKWebViewConfiguration, for example
B4X: 
Dim noWC As NativeObject
noWC = noWC.Initialize ("WKWebViewConfiguration").RunMethod ("alloc", Null).RunMethod ("init", Null)
and to set mediaTypesRequiringUserActionForPlayback
B4X: 
noWC.SetField ("mediaTypesRequiringUserActionForPlayback", ...)
Possible values - see https://developer.apple.com/documen...ediatypesrequiringuseractionfor?language=objc

About autoplay. HTML5 exactly works, but about YouTube I am not so sure.

This is the code that worked without problems for the previous version of ios. Your suggestions don't work for autoplay YouTube video. Any more suggestions?

B4X: 
    Private no As NativeObject = wvYouTubePlayer
    no.RunMethod("setMediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction:", Array(False))

   'Fly to YouTube website
    wvYouTubePlayer.LoadHtml( _
            $"<!DOCTYPE html>
              <html>
                  <head>
                      <style>body{margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;}</style>
                  </head>
                  <body>
                      <div id="player"></div>
                      <script> var tag = document.createElement('script');
                               tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/player_api";
                               var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
                               firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
                               var player;
                               function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady()
                                   {
                                       player = new YT.Player('player',
                                       {

                                                'onReady': onPlayerReady,
                                           }
                                       });
                                   }
                               function onPlayerReady(event)
                                   {
                                       event.target.playVideo();
                                   }
