RE: Browser Widget and Twitter on iOS 13
I was thinking of doing it just for Twitter but if other sites become stricter I did not want to have to release a new app. I could have done an OTA update of sites that needed this userAgent but I opted for the simple solution.

RE: Browser Widget and Twitter on iOS 13
There is a song to be written for https://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/. It may have multiple time signatures... but I digress. Here's the code that's working for me: if the environment = "mobile" and the platform = "iphone" and the machine contains "iPad" then -- one can never be too careful switch case the systemversion begins with "12" -- iOS 12 set the userAgent of widget "BrowserW" to "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 12_4_8 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.1.2 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1" break case the systemversion begins with "13" -- iOS 13 set the userAgent of widget "BrowserW" to "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_4) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.1.1 Safari/605.1.15" break default -- everybody else. This could get me into trouble later. Maybe default should be deleted? REVISIT set the userAgent of widget "BrowserW" to "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 12_4_8 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.1.2 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1" end switch end if Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net -Original Message- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Mark Wieder via use-livecode Sent: Friday, August 14, 2020 7:17 PM To: Ralph DiMola via use-livecode Cc: Mark Wieder Subject: Re: Browser Widget and Twitter on iOS 13 On 8/14/20 2:54 PM, Ralph DiMola via use-livecode wrote: > Mark/Panos, > > Thanks for all your help, this worked like a charm!

So... to recap.. 1) get the userAgent in Safari on my 10.14.6 Mac 2) in App (If the platform="iphone" then set userAgent to this value). Pretty much - although I recommend not using the userAgent string from a mac. Instead, get the userAgent string from an iPad which allows you to access twitter.com through the browser widget. Just in case anything mac-ish in the user agent string causes twitter.com to do something different (e.g. specialize for desktop rather than mobile). Should I use the userAgent globally for all browser widget http(s) requests on platform = iphone? Isn't the issue on iPad? Will this affect any other tsNet functions? The browser widget uses WKWebView which uses system HTTP functionality so tsNet isn't involved. Should it be reset back to empty for any reason? I can't think of one. Should I file a bug report? No - this isn't anything we can do anything about. I strongly suspect the iPad issue your client is having is one of; - it isn't running the very latest iOS version, and Twitter is blocking the default userAgent string for that version and older ones which come from WKWebView - Twitter's (new?) block-list isn't actually correct and not taking into account enough variations (e.g. those coming from WKWebView).

So... to recap..
1) get the userAgent in Safari on my 10.14.6 Mac
2) in App (If the platform="iphone" then set userAgent to this value).
Should I use the userAgent globally for all browser widget http(s) requests
on platform = iphone?
Will this affect any other tsNet functions?
Should it be reset back to empty for any reason?
Should I file a bug report?
Have a good weekend.

Hello all,
Definitely this is related to the user-agent. It seems twitter recently has
become stricter on this:

I get the same warning ("this browser is no longer supported .." ) when I
try to visit https://twitter.com from a browser widget on my Mac (10.14.6)
with LC 9.6.0.
I was able to get rid of the warning by visiting the page Mark posted (
https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent) with Safari to
see what an accepted user-agent is, and then set the "userAgent" of the
browser widget to this value.
Kind regards,

That tester has both iPhone and iPad and I know there both running the same version of iOS. iPhone doesn't get the message but the iPad does. I will find out if there both up to the latest 13.x.x. (it flew out of my head after I heard they were running the same version) Odd indeed but I(well Panos) just found a iPad oddity that a couple of iPad Mini models running 12.x would only load local web pages if they were in the temp folder. So this unified iOS SW/HW thing is not 100% yet.

There's a small chance that Apple has fixed something in WKWebView on iOS13 in some .x increment, and Twitter has blocked the versions before (via userAgent). Safari and WKWebView are not the same thing (I think Safari might use its own private version of WebKit under the hood - although I'm not 100% sure about that) so the Safari comparison might not be relevant in this case.

It works on Android and iOS 12. This is from the first tester. Could there be a iOS devices setting that this user inadvertently changed that caused this? I'm waiting for other testers but wanted to get on top of this. Any ideas? Thanks.
