WebAudio Orientation example not working on mobile browser (iOS)

Description of the problem

I am having problems making PositionalAudio work on mobile. I am initialising everything Audio related after a user click like so:

$('#enter-popup').click( function() { 
    $('#enter-popup').hide()
    var AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext    
    audioContext = new AudioContext()
    listener = new THREE.AudioListener()
    camera.add(listener)
    createSoundObjects()
    setupLocalUser()
})

The createSoundObjects method fetches a source url from firebase and uses it for the initialiser of my “Sound” class like so…

this.mediaElement = new Audio(url);
this.mediaElement.loop = true;
this.mediaElement.preload = 'auto';
this.mediaElement.crossOrigin = 'anonymous';
this.mediaElement.play()

This works great on desktop, but I cannot get it to work on mobile (iOS 13, Safari && Chrome && Firefox).

I then proceeded to check out some examples and found out that the official WebAudio Orientation example isn’t working either.

Nothing abnormal is getting logged in my console. please help. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I guess this is caused by a bug in Safari (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203435) which seems to be fixed but not yet shipped.

Hmm, will test tomorrow.
