Description

Hello,

I've run some test with the help of the twitter/G+ community on wp_is_mobile and found some mobile browser that don't pass the test.

You can see the test here : http://www.inpixelitrust.fr/blog/wp_is_mobile/

I was able to get the user agent of 3 of those which don't work :

HTC sensation z710 4.0.3 native browser (UA: Mozilla/5.0 (X11;Linux x86_64; HTC/Sensation/3.32.162.11; fr-de)
AplliWebkit/534.24(KHTML,like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.32 Safari/534.34 )

BlackBerry Playbook (Ua Mozilla/5.0 (PlayBook; U; RIM Tablet OS 2.0.1; en-US) AplleWebkit/535.8+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.2.0.1 Safari/535.8+ )

Could be great to add those to the UA sniffing :)

Now use the detectmobilebrowsers.com regex that is more powerful but is not updated from 2014 but surely is better that the actual solution.

The patch looks reasonable, but a bit more complex.

In general I wouldn't recommend doing UA sniffing. Should we really further encourage a bad practice? Core uses wp_is_mobile() only in a few places, mostly for historical reasons where touch devices were not considered before.

#10 @Mte90

There are many themes that use this function and also plugin.
I know that the patch contain a complex regex but recognize the majority of mobile os.
Maybe we can choose to use a different regex more light.

  • Milestone Awaiting Review deleted
  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

I'm going to wontfix this based on #33704 (removing reliance on wp_is_mobile()) and [40907] (introduce a filter on the return value of the function).
