Safari allows zooming

[Lavodan]

Describe the bug
On iOS browser, the option to allow zooming should be disabled to prevent visual bugs and softlocking the player, but safari seems to ignore this.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open openfront.io
2. Try to pinch to zoom
3. you can zoom in

Expected behavior
you should not be able to zoom

Screenshots

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone
• OS: iOS10+ probably
• Browser probably all

Solution
According to a stackoverflow post the solution is to overwrite gesturerestart

document.addEventListener('gesturestart', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
});

I can try to implement this but I need someone with ios (or an ios emulator) to test it for me

How is this a problem?

How is this a problem?

@SpruceGuy1
Zooming the webpage overrides our zooming of the map, completely breaks UI, and if I recall correctly even causes some crashes (I may not be correct about that, it's been a while since this has been discussed). If the user accidentally zooms in in such a way that they cannot zoom out, they are locked out of playing the match since they cannot do most actions needed to play the game.

Ok but how would an iOS user zoom then

I exeperience the same problem. Most notable is by double tapping( often accidentally) when attempting to tap on the "retaliate"button. Double tapping anywhere outside the map area will reset the zoom to the normal extent.
