AnalyticsInfo

DeviceForm property

The DeviceForm property now returns string from the following set:

  • Mobile
  • Tablet
  • Television
  • Car
  • Watch
  • VirtualReality
  • Desktop
  • Unknown

In case of WebAssembly this property currently always returns Unknown as there is no reliable way to check for device form factor via JavaScript.

VersionInfo.DeviceFamily

This string is in the form of OSType.DeviceForm where OSType is:

  • Android - Android
  • iOS/iPadOS - iOS
  • WASM - Browser

VersionInfo.DeviceFamilyVersion

This returns the "OS version" the app is running on. Values are the following:

  • Android - Build.VERSION.Release
  • iOS - UIDevice.CurrentDevice.SystemVersion
  • WASM - returns the full user agent string (navigator.userAgent)

Again note, that on WASM the userAgent can easily be spoofed by malicious users.
