51Degrees Device Detection .NET  4.4

Device detection services for 51Degrees Pipeline

OnPremise/AppleServerSide-Console/Program.cs

Detection of the specific models of Apple devices being used to make a request is more difficult than it is for other vendors.Typically, the 51Degrees approach is to use dynamically generated JavaScript to determine the model on the client-side and pass this back to the server. Some users are unable or unwilling to deploy dynamic JavaScript. In this case 51Degrees have an alternative approach in which the required data is gathered using static JavaScript. This is then passed to the server to determine the Apple model.

This example demonstrates this alternative approach.

This example is available in full on GitHub.

This example requires a paid-for data file as the device model properties are not available in the free, 'lite' data file. See our pricing page for details on how to obtain one.
