Comment (by iamjolly):

 Hello, I've reviewed this using Safari on iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) as
 well as other browsers on iOS (Chrome) and the desktop.

 The inability to select the entire text, if it overflows the field, in a
 disabled text input area is an iOS "feature." Since the URL value isn't
 editable, yet needs to be copiable, I'd recommend either:

 1. Adding a copy button next to or under the field like @zodiac1978
 suggested, or
 2. Using plain text without a text field for output to the page.

 For the second recommendation, the text will be selectable, as it will not
 overflow the container if it is allowed to wrap.

 Since so many people are using mobile and iOS devices to manage their
 sites, this would be a nice fix/enhancement to add.
