I am facing an issue where the API for playing a video only works on iOS after the play button is clicked in the player. However, it works fine on desktop and Chrome for Android.

$(function() {
var iframe = $('#player1')[0];
var player = $f(iframe);
var status = $('.status');
// Adding listeners for pause, finish, and playProgress when the player is ready
player.addEvent('ready', function() {
status.text('ready');
player.addEvent('pause', onPause);
player.addEvent('finish', onFinish);
player.addEvent('playProgress', onPlayProgress);
});
// Calling the API when a button is clicked
$('button').bind('click', function() {
player.api($(this).text().toLowerCase());
});
function onPause() {
status.text('paused');
}
function onFinish() {
status.text('finished');
}
function onPlayProgress(data) {
status.text(data.seconds + 's played');
}
});

<iframe id="player1" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/76979871?api=1&player_id=player1" width="630" height="354" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
<div>
<button>Play</button>
<button>Pause</button>
<p>Status: <span class="status">…</span></p>
</div>
Are there any workarounds available for this issue?
