Greetings.
A day or two ago, we released an update which changes the user agent of the
app on iOS to improve standardisation across iOS and Android apps.
Here are two example user agents:
- WikipediaApp/4.0.1 (iPhone OS 7.1.2; Tablet)
- WikipediaApp/2.0-r-2014-07-23 (Android 4.1.2; Phone)
as opposed to the old iOS user agent, which used to look like this:
- Wikipedia/4.0 CFNetwork/672.1.15 Darwin/14.0.0
Moving forwards, this means "userAgent LIKE 'WikipediaApp%'" will now
find
results from *both* platforms, not just Android.
Remember that being an app means that those iOS users who haven't updated
their app still have the old user agent, and will continue to have the old
user agent until they update their app. Bear this in mind when writing
queries against the app data!
Thanks,
Dan
