Hi,

Script is not detecting webview browsers. For example, Facebook uses WebView browser, SnapChat uses WebView many other applications using their WebView Browsers. Script is not able to check browser for these kind of browsers.

Hello, Do you have any example User Agent for the ones that are not detected?

@mariotsi I'm having the same issues. I have a few examples of user agent's that it's not seeing (at least for the browser object):

I've falled back to my own parsing that just detects chrome/webview usage based on the above.

Yes, this library is not detecting webview, will it be fixed?

you might try something like this

$result = new WhichBrowser\Parser(...)
$return['browser_version'] = $result->browser->getVersion() ?: $result->browser->using->getVersion();
$return['browser_name'] = $result->browser->getName() ?: $result->browser->using->getName();
