videojs is not sending headers from beforerequests in IOS

Have created a learning app for colleagues ... videojs works perfectly for android users i am able to send headers and cookies but for IOS people it does not send headers ... I am verifying users based on headers send from videojs also calculating time they stayed in app using videojs headers.... code sample given below: 

function videopresent(){
    videojs.options.hls.overrideNative = true;
    videojs.options.html5.nativeAudioTracks = false;
    videojs.options.html5.nativeTextTracks = false;
    videojs.Hls.xhr.beforeRequest = function(options) {
        headers = {}
        headers['user_Id'] = cookiescope('user_Id');
        headers['user_Policy_code'] = cookiescope('user_Policy_code');
        headers['username'] = cookiescope('username');
        options.headers = headers
        return options;
     }
}

NOTE : It works on android phones and all the browsers(chrome,mozilla,safari) on desktop versions.

overrideNative only works if the browser supports Media Source Extensions, which iOS Safari does not. Manipulating each request is not possible with iOS Safari's native playback.
