Hi,
I was able to run (a copy of) your experiment on Safari on an iPhone, but I used the AddHost method and needed to add a Button and wait for a click on it before playing the Audio element. The images load fine, but because play crashes in the absence of a Button element, the script would never get to their print commands, which is why you didn’t see them
Another issue (at least with the AddHost method) is that you don’t have a file named 008vismeghvitkanin.wav: you file is named 008vismeghvitkanin.m4a (different extension—I didn’t check the actual audio format of the file)
Did you say you tried Chrome on your iPad too? Did it also block playback the same way?
