In my initial testing it does work when clicking on outbound links, but the pageVisibilityTracker plugin needs to be updated to use beforeunload instead of unload in Safari (related: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/page-lifecycle/issues/2).

This has been fixed and shipped in iOS 12.2 and macOS 10.14.4.
