The MobileMoviePlayer is a relatively new iOS feature. To use MobileMoviePlayer start a new iOS project and drag the MoviePlayer control from the Library onto a Screen.
The easiest way to load a movie is from a publicly accessible URL, although you can also load a movie from a file. You can use this URL to play a snippet of an open-source animated movie (Big Buck Bunny) made with Blender:

To make the MobileMoviePlayer load the movie, add its Opening event with this line of code:
Me.LoadURL("https://www.learningcontainer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/sample-mp4-file.mp4")
Now add a Button to the Screen and change its Caption to “Play”. Add its Pressed event with this code:
MoviePlayer1.Play
Add another Button and change its Caption to “Pause”, with this code:
MoviePlayer1.Pause
Now run the project and click the Play button to watch the short movie.
Also of note, the exact same code above will also work for Xojo Android. Here’s a quick teaser:
