Hi Jacque,

One idea: If your app can reach out to a LC page on a server, that page could return $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] which in many cases tells something about the kind of device that connected. For example:

An old iPad:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad;CPU OS 9_3_5 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1 (KHTML, like Gecko)

My phone:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone;CPU iPhone OS 11_4_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.1.34 (KHTML, like Gecko) CriOS/68.0.3440.83

An old Samsung tablet:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.109 Safari/537.36

Just grasping at straws here. Better info is hidden somewhere in the bowels of the device. It would be cleaner to just get it directly.

I need to determine whether the current mobile device is a tablet or a phone. On iOS I can use "the machine" but on Android it only provides the manufacturer's name.

Does anyone know a way to do that?
