Iphone safair support webkitEnterFullscreen, not webkitRequestFullscreen

[DmytroShulzhenko]

Can you add webkitEnterFullscreen for supporting full screen mode for Iphones?

There seems to be a small bug in the screenfull code (lines 14 and 24):

For apple / safari it uses webkitRequestFullscreen (in compliance with mdn and CanIuse).

But according to the apple documentation, safari not only requires the webkit prefix, but also uses a different wording: webkitEnterFullscreen.

If I (or someone else) make a PR for this, is there any chance it would be merged?

I will prepare a pr for this; only testing on ios is a little bit difficult for me.

I have tested it on an iPhone with Safari 17.2 and based on my own experiments and on the official docs:

webkitEnterFullscreen is only available for the HTMLVideoElement as of Feb 9, 2024.

It makes little sense to me, since full screen is the default for the video element on the iPhone and you have to opt-out by specifying playsinline if you don't want that. The video element also has its own control to toggle the full screen mode, making webkitEnterFullscreen superfluous.

For other HTML elements, webkitEnterFullscreen seems to be absent on the iPhone.

Long story short: Even if webkitEnterFullscreen is added to screenfull library, it won't make a difference on an iPhone.

Perhaps I can help with a little web page that shows the fullscreen features available on 'your' browser.

I don't get the point you are trying to make but here is a screenshot made on that iPhone with Safari 17.2

The page just proves that iPhone does not support the Fullscreen API (besides for HTMLVideoElement) as you said before and thus a or is useless.

Why is that playsInline attribute is correlated with fullscreen mode on Safari ? Also, why is that adding webkitEnterFullscreen in the fullscreen library wont make a difference ?

If you take a look at my testpage with an iPhone (I don't have one available): what does it say for 'webkitEnterFullscreen'?

It says unavailable for all but i am trying to understand why ?, when i tested on iphone 12 pro on browserstack by attaching this api on the browser console it worked fine

[BePo65]

Ok, I think I understand.

What this 'demopage' does is feature detection. for the fullscreen API. As webkitRequestFullscreen and webkitEnterFullscreen are features of an element, I test the availability for a div element based on code found in MDN:

"webkitRequestFullscreen" in  window.document.createElement('div');
"webkitEnterFullscreen" in  window.document.createElement('div');

Hope this helps.
