Not degrading gracefully on iOS 9.x - select() no longer works

[dumb]

I realize Safari and Mobile Safari aren't fully supported, but I've noticed clipboard.js no longer degrades gracefully on Mobile Safari.

It seems that Apple has neutered the select() function as of iOS 9.x, which clipboard.js uses. I've read that a more browser-inclusive option is to use setSelectionRange(), eg:

targetElement.setSelectionRange(0, targetElement.value.length)

See the note here under the section Programmatically selecting a portion of a field's value:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/copytoclipboard.shtml

I'll experiment with this and post an update here if I can get it working.

Unfortunately the problem is not only Safari, this script simply doesn't work on all the browsers running on IOS9.2.1.

Unfortunately the problem is not only Safari, this script simply doesn't work on all the browsers running on IOS9.2.1.

It doesn't work in all the iOS browsers because in iOS every browser runs a Safari webview.

Tested the clipboardjs.com page on both iPad and iPhone (iOS v9.3.1) and select is working. If you're still facing this error, please share a JSFiddle so we can reproduce it.

This site is using clipboardjs: http://demo.chevereto.com/
would be great if you take a look and test, because it doesn't copy the codes after upload the files. that's the problem. (Already tried with 3 devices on 9.3.1, doesn't work) Thanks Sir.

I've also checked even in your own site with the same results on my ios devices with 9.3.1

We're talking about the selection, not the support. As showed in the documentation and the website, clipboard.js doesn't work on Safari.

Also seeing this issue on an iOS 9.3.2 on iPad, not functioning or degrading on Chrome or Safari.

See this JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/amhwjm69/

EDIT: Above fiddle is trying to copy text from a div. Seem to function correctly with input elements.
