KML clampToGround disappears on mobile

See original GitHub issue

Here’s a Sandcastle that loads a KML file clamped to ground.

On desktop, everything looks good. On mobile (so far tested on Android Huawei Mate 10 Lite and Huawei P20, as well as an iPad) no KML appears. If clampToGround is set to false it appears.

Not sure where to really begin debugging this. The console shows no errors. Original forum thread

Hello, I am having what I believe is the same issue on the latest version (1.58) while viewing on mobile. Was wondering if there was any update or workaround to this issue. Thanks!
