Mike MacMillan commented on CB-2520:
------------------------------------
[~burgalon] I was able to modify the user-agent used by the WebView, by using
the baseUserAgent property of the CDVViewController, introduced by [this
commit|https://github.com/khawkins/cordova-ios/commit/fa2892204377e394608f01f37ade7067e9f0a441].
For a simple test, you could add the following to your *AppDelegate.m*, just
after the MainViewController is initialized:
{code}
self.viewController.baseUserAgent = @"Some Custom User-Agent";
{code}
> iOS: "original" user agent needs to be overridable

> Cordova's user agent management for iOS employs a scheme of setting a
> baseline "original" user agent, which by default conforms to the standard
> user agent a UIWebView would expose, and then optionally appending
> CDVViewController-specific data to it in the appropriate use cases, to manage
> whitelisting.
> Cordova shouldn't really care too much about the data that the original user
> agent exposes. I.e. it should be able to be overridden by a consumer, so
> that the consumer can supply its own user agent data. This is not
> technically possible with the current implementation of the CDVUserAgentUtil
> class, since it does not exist as a member of any instance class; it's truly
> static/global, so inheritance doesn't come into play.
> Even if an instance of CDVuserAgentUtil could be made a property of
> CDVViewController, or something else, it would be kind of weird for a
> consumer to inherit from what's essentially a static class, just to configure
> their own user agent data.
> There should be another mechanism for users to override the original user
> agent configuration.
