In T284494, we identified the changes Apple is planning that could impact the experiences the Editing Team is responsible for.
This task is about testing VE (mobile and desktop) with these specific changes in mind.
Timing
Work on this task depends on iOS 15 being released which we anticipate happening in September, 2021.
Interactions/functionality to test
Text selections
- Text selection is getting a magnifying-glass popup again. This is only during the selection-drag, so I don't think it'll cause particular issues, but we might want to double-check that it's playing nice with our faux selections.
Toolbars
- The iPhone safari tab bar has been rearranged significantly. The UI that was formerly at the top of the screen is now at the bottom, and when it's visible there's swipe gestures to let you switch tabs. (I can't find good pictures of this or an article explaining it. It's in the keynote video at about 1h31.) I could see this interfering with our inspectors or our toolbars, depending on exactly how it works.
- As betas progress, the iOS Safari address bar has become less visually-radical, but now can be toggled to being either on the top or bottom. This seems easier to cope with than the floating-oval, but we should make sure that this doesn't cause any strange offset issues with e.g. mobile context items.
Drag and drop
- iPads are getting new focus on multitasking, including drag-and-drop between side-by-side windows. This is mostly an existing feature becoming more-discoverable. Drag and drop between apps on iPhone is also getting enabled stealthily. We may want to make sure that things like drag-drop media upload play nicely on mobile.
Testing environment
- Browser: Safari
- Platforms: mobile (iOS 15) + desktop
Done
- Verify the ===Interactions/functionality work in ways we expect
- Tickets are filed for unexpected behavior
