Bug description

Debugger shows swiper.autoplay.start() has been renamed swiper.autoplay.run() in v.7 but the docs still say start() and the typescript types for AutoplayMethods still say start() but errors result

unless you do something like

 (this.swiper.autoplay as any).run();

after which the errors stop, at least, and a single slide autoplays...but it doesn't keep on playing. So my guess is the start() method is now simply missing, somehow...I see the rest of the methods in the debugger including stop() but no start().

I am using Ionic 6 beta 4 and Angular 12...maybe the Ionic library is snipping off start() somehow?

Anyway putting this out there as I will have to roll back to Swiper 6 otherwise.

Actually it looks like the Angular setup isn't working at all in v7 for me, can't manually swipe slides either. But the missing swiper.autoplay.start() is the only error reported in Chrome debugger as such. If you leave this issue open I can recount how I got it working for your other users, which is more important to open source than github issue sanitation. (Assume I backed out to v6 if I'm not allowed to update this report)

OK I'm backing out to v.6 as I can't get v.7 Angular working at all. If anyone has any luck please let us know if the report is still open for you to do so. It seems the angular implementation is still using things that are deprecated in the main v.7 (e.g. SwiperCore.use(...)) so it's probably too early to migrate.

(Confirming: The exact same code works flawlessly in 6.8.4. I am fully updated on all other dependencies, Angular 12.2.3, etc.)
