Browser Widget and Twitter on iOS 13

[Ralph DiMola]

Mark/Panos,

Thanks for all your help, this worked like a charm! I got the userAgent from
a v12 iPad and v13 iPad. For any other iPad OS version I use the v13
version.

Hah - ignore this - I forgot to edit it when I realized 'the platform' 
returns iPhone (its the machine which distinguishes between iPad and
iPhone).

Whether to do it for all web-requests then I'm not sure - this is
twitter.com related thing as far as I can see.

It shouldn't do any harm to use the same useragent for all requests though
(although you might want to check if iPad latest iOS from Safari is
different from iPhone latest from Safari and switch on the machine if so).

I'd recommend removing this mitigation if/when twitter.com starts behaving
normally again though as you don't want to have to keep that up to date lest
it cause problems for other websites.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
