Issues:

Tapping Preview often results in the editor focusing and the keyboard flying up rather than preview. Pressing a youtube video and tapping into the editor before previewing is the most reliable way I’ve found to reproduce this.
Preview opens in a new window. This is really bad mobile usability that is shared by post-new.php.
The publish bar does not persistently remain on the screen. Sometimes it ends up at the end of the big chunk of whitespace that iOSiOS The operating system used on iPhones and iPads. puts below the editor. A lot of scrolling is required to reach it. This seems to happen in association with the preview bug mentioned above.

: Start in the youtube app. Tap share

: Tap Copy Link

: Success. Tap Home button to go to home screen.

: Tap icon for easyskank.in Press This

: Tap into the url scan input

: Tap and hold in the input to paste the url copied from the youtube app.

: Tap Scan

: Wait for it.

: Tap play to see if this is a live embed view.

: Not playable. Tapping into the editor brings up the keyboard. Tap Done. Next, try tapping Preview. Preview is very hard to tap. Most taps cause the editor to fly up and the keyboard to focus. I see this all the time with YouTube videos, especially after tapping into the editor. After several taps I finally get preview to work.

: Preview is opened in a new window. post-new.php does this too and I consider it really bad mobile usability. Tap Play.

: The video plays and looks good. Tap Done.

: Tap the window switcher to get back to Press This.

: I have several Press This windows. I need to figure out which one to use. First, close the preview so that it is no reused by future preview attempts.

: Pick a window. Hope it is the right one. Tap.

: Whenever I trigger the preview bug mentioned earlier, the bottom bar ends up at the end of the big chunk of space below the editor (this space is peculiar to iOS). The bottom bar is no longer persistent on screen. Tap Publish.
