[iOS] [video_player] only shows a blank screen, no video

[DevNico]

The video_player plugin is not working on IOS. Instead of playing the video a blank white screen is shown. On videos with audio it sometimes plays the audio but still no video.

Steps to Reproduce

I created a demo application to show the problem. It's basically just the example code from the video_player plugin but with a different example video because the one provided isn't working anymore.

1. Run git clone https://github.com/DevNico/video_player_test.git.
2. Run cd video_player_test
3. Run flutter run on an ios device / simulator

Expected results:
After tapping on the play button the video should start playing

Actual results:
It just shows a white screen

The video player is not functional on the simulator - does it also not work on your device?

Hi @DevNico
Please follow up on #14647
I'm closing the current one as duplicate.
Please comment if you have the problem with a real device (I see only simulators in connected devices), and I'll reopen it
Thank you
