Research direction
Investigate the iOS native implementation of the video player in the plugin, likely in files like 'StreamingMedia.m' or 'VideoPlayerViewController.swift'. Check if the `controls` property is properly passed to the native video player controller. The issue comments (8 comments) may contain troubleshooting steps or suggestions. Also verify if this is a known iOS 12 bug with the MPMoviePlayerController or AVPlayerViewController.
