iOS 16 and below menu interactivity clicks aren't working

[DanielHudson2]

Description

The data-wp-on-async--click="actions.openMenuOnClick" on the navigation block isn't doing anything when tapped on iOS devices running version 16 or older

I have rolled back to wordpress 6.6.2 and confirmed this issue doesn't occur there

There is some visual feedback on the tap but the menu doesn't open

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Completely fresh wordpress download from wordpress.org
2. No changes to theme (so using twentytwentyfive)
3. Open site in a device running iOS 16 or older
4. Tap menu toggle

Screenshots, screen recording, code snippet

Thanks for sharing the issue,

I could find some more issues related to how the menu is presented on the frontend on iOS devices, sharing the screenshot for the same

• iOS 16 and above
• Safari and Chrome

However on Android I couldn't find any problem, the menu click behaviour and user interface was as expected

Environment

• WP 6.7.1
• TT5

Simply including here for reference the trac ticket where it was decided to remove the script modules polyfill that supported versions prior to iOS 16.3:
