I'm sorry, but I don't know where else to ask this question as I have been unable to find any solid reliable answers, but it does involve mobiledetect.js I have a wordpress website marketing a mobile app that I have created. When a user signs up for my service on my website, I want to redirect them to the correct app store based on the device they sign up on. I have been using mobiledetect.js to do this, but as of iOS 13, I can no longer detect an iPad to send them to Apple's app store. Could any one tell me whether this is a problem that mobiledetect is working on, or what other options I have to detect a modern iPad???

Please ask Apple. They want the iPad to be detected as a desktop. Don't know why.

But there are still ways to detect the iPad as a device rather than desktop. Why not just alter the code to account for the changes Apple made?
