How to enable audio auto-play on iPhones and iPads?

I have a webRTC voice calling application using javascript.

Whenever it receives a stream , it will dynamically create a audio tag and add stream to its srcObject then play it.

While trying to play it, it throws following error

The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission

Following is the source code:

      const audioElement = document.createElement("audio");
      audioElement.srcObject = stream;
      audioElement.id = socketid;
      audioElement.key = socketid;
      audioElement.muted = false;
      audioElement.autoplay = true;
      audioElement.playsInline = true;


      // Append the audio element to the parent div
      allAudioStreamBlockRef.current.appendChild(audioElement);
      audioElement.play().catch((error) => {
        
          window.alert("Audio playback error: " + error.message);
                 
      });

Based on research, i found that it was because of auto-play blocking policy

So i have added a button and tried to play it again

audioElementsRef.current.forEach((audioElement) => {
        audioElement.muted = false;
        audioElement.play().catch((error) => {
         
          console.log(
            `[INFO][CLIENT] Again getting error while playing: ${error.message}`
          );
        });
      });

But still getting same error. it is not able to play the audio even after getting user interaction (play using a button click)

audio is playing in iPadOS v15.7.8 safari Also tested in iphone (IOS v16.1, v16.1.1) everything was working

Issue occurred only in iPadOS 16.2 safari browser only.

Hi Ivy Luo,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand you want to enable audio only to autoplay on iOS devices. This can be dependent on the website's plug ins. The autoplay is up to the website developer to enable. For Macs, you can enable autoplay for videos and audio. There isn't a way to enable this only for audio. Most audio sites will have an app you can configure.

You can find some helpful details in Stop autoplay videos in Safari on Mac - Apple Support.

Regards.
