Description

As reported by @rachelmcr (by an original report from @kwonye):

I tested some oEmbeds and shortcodes in Aztec, and found that oEmbeds in Aztec for iOS don’t seem to be working. When I paste in a plain URL such as a YouTube or Twitter link, the URL appears in my post instead of converting to an embed. (The same URLs embedded when pasted into Aztec on Android or in a shortcode.)

We should make sure we support all the popular embeds.

This ticket requires a prior check against Aztec iOS for consistency.

Research direction

Start by checking Aztec iOS against the reported YouTube and Twitter URL behavior, then compare its embed handling with the Android and shortcode behavior mentioned in the issue. Done means popular oEmbeds work when plain URLs are pasted and the result is consistent with the other implementations, but the issue does not name files or tests.
