I noticed that this doesn’t work on iOS 14 due to new/unsupported JS (just shows a blank page), would this be possible to workaround/fix? I quite like the idea, and would love to switch to it as my way to consume podcasts.

Ah, bummer. Just did some quick research, which suggested that first load can fail on iOS 14, but that refreshing the page might fix the issue. Can you try and report back?

I don't see iOS 14 in the list of simulators that ships with XCode, so this could be a challenge to reproduce.

Another option: try another browser. So if you're using Safari, try e.g. Chrome or Firefox.

Thanks for taking the time to respond! I’ve tried refreshing a couple of times and I’m afraid it made no difference. Chrome and Firefox all use the same embedded WebKit, so I’m afraid it still happens on them. I have XCode with an iOS 14 (as well as some similarly-old) Simulators if you’d like me to see if I can isolate and upload that, but according to Apple documentation[0] you should be able to download older simulators from Settings->Components->Add Platforms.

My XCode only goes back to iOS 15 :(

Downloading it now, will see what happens.

They let me download it, but alas

> The iOS 15.0 simulator runtime is not supported on macOS 15.6.1.
