The download attribute seems to be ignored in non Safari browsers on iOS. This minimalistic <a download>
example does not trigger download prompt but opens the link in the browser window:

It works as expected on Chrome / Firefox desktop and Android. It also works on iOS Safari.
This is not a cross domain issue. Plenty of similar issues here on SO but they mostly deal with slightly different cases. Also I cannot fix this on the server with content-disposition
header (if that was going to help anyway).
Is there maybe something in iOS that prevents non-safari browsers triggering the download dialog?
What's the solution here?
