iPadOS ipads are not detected

[Alessio Brunello]

Hi,

the new iPadOS (ios 13) can't detect the device as an iPad, and instead detect it like a desktop..

Real problem if like me you have graphic changes using ipads and desktops..

Is there an override or workaround that allow Ext.os class to recognize an iPad with iOS 13 like an iPad?

Greetings,

Alessio

Well this is where it get's blurry... iPadOS is marketed as a 'hybrid desktop' solution, so theoretically it's now a desktop... aka laptop if larger than 10 inches. (pretty lousy laptop IMHO, but apple seems to think it's a laptop now - which is so far from true, but that's the pich)...

so this is an interesting one.

Anyone have any further thoughts on this? I too have UX changes between desktop and tablet - thanks.

My current work around is using this function to check if i'm on ipad with iPad OS

function(){
var checkIpadOsBool = function () {
const ua = window.navigator.userAgent;

if (ua.indexOf('Macintosh') > -1) {
try {
document.createEvent("TouchEvent");
iosVersion=[13];
return true;
} catch (e) {}
}

return false;
}
return Ext.os.is.iPad || checkIpadOsBool();
}
