iPad (6th Generation) v14.0.1 not correctly recognized

[ajafff]

Using ngx-device-detector@2.0.1

Safari: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0 Safari/605.1.15
Firefox Daylight 29.1: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_4) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1 Safari/605.1.15

Both give the following results:

device: Unknown, expected iPad
deviceType: tablet
os: Mac, expected iOS
browser: Safari (that's fine for me to not be able to distinguish between Safari and Firefox)

works on
Chrome: Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 14_0 like Max OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) CriOS/86.0.4240.93 Mobile/14E148 Safari/604.1
Edge: Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 14_0_1 like Max OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0 EdgiOS/44.11.15 Mobile/14E148 Safari/604.1.15

Idea for a possible solution:
It seems like you cannot get the information from the UserAgent. IIRC you can distinguish iPad and Mac by checking for multi-touch support (iPad has it, Mac doesn't): https://stackoverflow.com/a/58979271

Hey @ajafff . Thanks for reporting this with the details 👍
We're already checking the touchpoints in our code. However, I see that we might not be having the platform set to MacIntel maybe, otherwise it should work actually.
Did you test this on a real device or simulator or chrome emulator?
If you can, feel free to raise a PR. If not, I'm probably gonna look into this soon 🙂

[ajafff]

This was tested on a real device.

I tried to contribute a fix. Unfortunately I don't understand what's going on in the code. For example, I don't know how the condition on line 72 could ever be true.

[AhsanAyaz]

Ahan. I'm gonna see if this is the same on my iPad 2. If it isn't the same, then wouldn't be able to test it unfortunaly.

I see that we might not be having the platform set to MacIntel

I just tested that. navigator.platform is actually set to iPad

[AhsanAyaz]

@ajafff then that's the cause. We can add this to the code then. I'm gonna try to get it done and released soon. Feel free to share a PR if you got time. I'll do it otherwise as soon as possible.

Is it done !!
Would love to work on it..

[AhsanAyaz]

Hey @sumitgsh . Not yet. Feel free to raise a PR if you're interested.
