Hello,

We start receiving marketing_name capability as a boolean type for iOS based devices recently.
Including iPhone 5, iPhone 6s and iOS versions 9.3, 10.0, 9.3.5, 10.0.2.

As stated in the documentation (https://www.scientiamobile.com/wurflCapability) we expect string type.

As an example user-agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 9_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/13E233

Response using WURFL Cloud Client for Java:

Code: Select all

{  
   "capabilities":{  
      "device_os_version":9.3,
      "advertised_browser":"Mobile Safari",
      "is_full_desktop":false,
      "marketing_name":false,
      "brand_name":"Apple",
      "model_name":"iPhone",
      "device_os":"iOS",
      "is_smartphone":true,
      "advertised_browser_version":"9.3",
      "is_tablet":false,
      "advertised_device_os":"iOS",
      "advertised_device_os_version":"9.3"
   },
   "date_set":1474988419,
   "id":"apple_iphone_ver9_3"
}
Could you please advise if this is a long term change or an issue that will be fixed soon?

Hi Jaroslaw,

Thanks for the information. We have found the source of the issue and deployed the fix to production. All services are now returning the expected values. Note that your local WURFL Cloud Client cache will still have the incorrect values cached, so you although no client update is required, will need clear the local cache.

Thanks,

Aaron
