You can use the .scaledToFill() view modifier on VideoPlayer: VideoPlayer(player: player).scaledToFill()

It works for me in Xcode 12.0.1 + Simulator iPhone 11 Pro and on an iPhone 11 Pro. The video plays well beyond the first frame and the play button is enabled.

I just deployed the schema changes to production, successfully. Thank you, CloudKit Team!

I cannot deploy the schema to production either. I get the same "There was a problem loading the environment's status."
