Not degrading gracefully on iOS 9.x - select() no longer works
See original GitHub issueI realize Safari and Mobile Safari aren’t fully supported, but I’ve noticed clipboard.js no longer degrades gracefully on Mobile Safari.
It seems that Apple has neutered the select() function as of iOS 9.x, which clipboard.js uses. I’ve read that a more browser-inclusive option is to use setSelectionRange(), eg:
targetElement.setSelectionRange(0, targetElement.value.length)
See the note here under the section Programmatically selecting a portion of a field’s value: http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/copytoclipboard.shtml
I’ll experiment with this and post an update here if I can get it working.

Tested the clipboardjs.com page on both iPad and iPhone (iOS v9.3.1) and select is working. If you’re still facing this error, please share a JSFiddle so we can reproduce it.
Also seeing this issue on an iOS 9.3.2 on iPad, not functioning or degrading on Chrome or Safari.

EDIT: Above fiddle is trying to copy text from a div. Seem to function correctly with input elements.
