advertised_device_os values for macOS 10.12/10.11
Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2017 12:00 pm
Hi,
Today we noticed that the advertised_device_os capability returns different values for macOS 10.12 and the other macOS versions (10.11, 10.10).
See below:
10.10 : UA :Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

10.12: UA :Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_4) AppleWebKit/603.1.23 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.1 Safari/603.1.23

Previously it always was 'Mac OS X' for both. While our compatibility approach is based on OS detection, currently we are unable to correctly identify macOS 10.12.
Please also note that 'macOS' is not in the list for device_os at https://www.scientiamobile.com/wurflCapability, and for 10.12 device_os and advertised_device_os contain different values..
