Hi, I am the one who reported this issue to Telerik.
This issue might be caused by that Safari 13 enables desktop mode viewing by default. See the release note - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari_release_notes/safari_13_release_notes

Added Desktop-class Browsing to Safari for iPad. Safari for iPad displays the same desktop websites as Safari for macOS, and provides the same capabilities. In addition it has more keyboard shortcuts, a download manager with background downloads, and support for top productivity websites."

And Kendo UI expects mouse event, since the user agent becomes a desktop browser. But in reality, Safari on iPad would never emit any mouse events.

Hopefully this helps.

Please use branch spreadsheet-ios for testing.

@mishoo The fix results in inability to scroll Spreadsheet content in Android and Surface.

@mishoo I had an issue rebuilding the latest styles and my previous comment was incorrect. Scrolling on Android works as expected in LESS themes. Note that if the fix is styles related, it has to be included in https://github.com/telerik/kendo-themes as well.

Selecting does not work in Safari in Desktop mode on iOS 13 iPad - the first commit does not resolve the issue.

Merged to master.
