Fail to detect iPad ios 13+

[jooohyunpark]

On latest ios(13+) Safari, it detects iPad as a desktop. Works properly on chrome and other mobil devices. Could you take a look at this issue?

Hi, @byjoohyunpark

With latest iPad, Desktop Mode is enabled by default.
So I think that that is expected result.

Hey @dotneet, thanks for the reply. Safari in IPad IOS 13+ now forces desktop mode as a default. This issue is solved by disabling it. But I guess eventually we will need some extra layer to deal with this setup.

I am having the same issue, can you please let me know how did you disable the force desktop mode.

You can create one plugin like below as a temporary solution: This way you can set the device to tablet in case of ipad

export default (context, inject) => {
if(context.store.state.userAgent.includes('iPad')) {
inject('device', { isTablet: true });
}
};

@sunilrana123 your code will overwrite all $device property, so there will be only isTablet: true. You need to pass the remaining properties to save them:

export default function (ctx, inject) {
  const customIsTabet = ctx.isTablet || ctx.store.state.userAgent.includes('iPad')

  inject('device', {
    isTablet: customIsTabet,
    isMobile: ctx.isMobile,
    isMobileOrTablet: ctx.isMobileOrTablet,
    isDesktop: !ctx.isMobileOrTablet,
    isIos: ctx.isIos,
    isWindows: ctx.isWindows,
    isMacOS: ctx.isMacOS,
    isDesktopOrTablet: !ctx.isMobile,
    isAndroid: ctx.isMobileOrTablet && !ctx.isIos
  })
}

Hope this helps.

You can now overwrites any flags or add new ones by creating a Nuxt plugin with the v2 of this module.

iPad even in desktop mode could be detected by a touch events, because no macOS has touch screen.
