I did some more research and found that the issue seems to be with Capacitor's cookies plugin. This plugin patches document.cookie using WKHTTPCookieStore. Accessing the patched document.cookie causes the player to pause. I'll open a similar issue on the Capacitor side as well.

After further research and verification, I believe this issue is related to the code here:
Capacitor uses window.prompt to transfer data. And YouTube iframe player pauses after the prompt is called. I don't know why the YouTube iframe player pauses after a prompt call, and whether this behavior is necessary.
Is it possible to prevent the YouTube iframe player from pausing when a prompt is triggered?
Description
Please fill out the following:
When developing an iOS app with Capacitor, I noticed that whenever any code accesses
document.cookie, the YouTube iframe player automatically pauses playback. This issue doesn't occur in iOS Safari and only happens in Capacitor (which uses WKWebView).I created a project to reproduce this issue：https://github.com/anson0370/yt-player-capacitor-issue
No
No
The player won't pause playback when accessing document.cookie.
Yes, see my reproduce project.
