IntersectionObserver not working in Safari or iOS

问题

I have a piece of code that adds a different css class to elements depending on whether they're scrolled into or out of the viewport from top or bottom.

It uses the Intersection Observer because it is supposed to handle large amounts of elements better than scroll events.

However, I am facing two problems with this code:

It does not work in Safari (latest version)
It does not work on mobile Apple devices

This is odd because the IntersectionObserver should work fine on Safari and even mobile browsers on iOS.

You can find the code on jsFiddle or see the snippet here:

const config = {
  // Add root here so rootBounds in entry object is not null
  root: document,
  // Margin to when element should take action
  rootMargin: '-50px 0px',
  // Callback will be fired 30 times during intersection 
  threshold: [...Array(30).keys()].map(x => x / 29)
};

let observer = new IntersectionObserver(function(entries, observer) {

  entries.forEach((entry, index) => {
    const element = entry.target;

    // Get root element (document) coords
    const rootTop = entry.rootBounds.top;
    const rootBottom = entry.rootBounds.height;

    // Get div coords
    const topBound = entry.boundingClientRect.top - 50; // margin in config
    const bottomBound = entry.boundingClientRect.bottom;

    let className;

    // Do calculations to get class names
    if (topBound < rootTop && bottomBound < rootTop) {
      className = "outview-top";
    } else if (topBound > rootBottom) {
      className = "outview-bottom";
    } else if (topBound < rootBottom && bottomBound > rootBottom) {
      className = "inview-bottom";
    } else if (topBound < rootTop && bottomBound > rootTop) {
      className = "inview-top";
    }
    element.setAttribute('data-view', className);

  });
}, config);

const viewbox = document.querySelectorAll('.viewme');
viewbox.forEach(image => {
  observer.observe(image);
});

body {
  text-align: center;
}

.margins {
  position: fixed;
  top: 50px;
  bottom: 50px;
  border-top: 2px dashed;
  border-bottom: 2px dashed;
  z-index: 1;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  pointer-events: none;
}

.hi {
  padding: 40vh 0;
  background: lightgray;
}

.box {
  width: 23%;
  min-width: 100px;
  height: 40vh;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  background: lightblue;
  display: inline-block;
}

.viewme {
  transition: all .3s ease;
}

.viewme[data-view='inview-top'],
.viewme[data-view='inview-bottom'] {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translateY(0);
}

.viewme[data-view='outview-top'] {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translateY(-20px);
}

.viewme[data-view='outview-bottom'] {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translateY(20px);
}

<p class="hi">Scroll down and back up</p>

</div>

So far, I have two hints as to what might cause these problems:

In the Safari developer console, it says there is a Type error between line 10 and 38 in my JS code
I have noticed that other scripts defining root: document do not work on iOS. Instead, they work when defining root: null. However, I can not use root: null because of rootBounds. I've tried to wrap my html in a div and set the id of the div as the root element but that didn't work (see here).

Any help to solve both problems is much appreciated. However, please do consider that I did not write the code above and don't understand it very well.
