Can kentico detect specific mobile devices and their operating systems?
Hey guys, I have a question hope someone can answer this;
Our site is powered by Kentico. Recently I have designed a mobile site (Responsive mobile template HTML5) This mobile site is specifically designed for iPhones & iPod touch models. As you know older versions of iOS doesn't allow 'File upload' option directly from Safari browser.
Since the release of iOS6 this is enabled by Apple.
My mobile version (website) has a registration form with 6 fields including a file upload which lets users upload a photo along with few other details such as name, age etc
Now the problem is a recent survey tells me not everyone has updated their iPhone to iOS6 (Losing Google maps, youtube etc)
So this is what I need to know;
I need to detect what version of iOS a person is using to access the site (By detecting safari version I believe) and then IF they are accessing from iOS6 or above (iOS6.1) I want them re-directed to a version of the site which has the file upload field in the form.
And IF lower versions are detected (Below iOS6, like iOS5.1, 5, 4.1 etc) then I want them re-directed to a site which has a form without the file upload field.
The reason is we don't want users with lower versions of iOS to be re-directed to the mobile site which has a file upload field because this button is disabled by Apple. So they can't complete the form and they cant convert. (If they come by mobile ppc ad this results in a loss of conversion so on)
I know its possible to detect specific mobile devices but the question is can Kentico detect operating system versions within these devices ? Mainly Apple devices cause of their limitations.
Thank you.
