nextjs - 💡(How to fix) Fix userAgent device.type is undefined for Macos Apple silicon devices [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

• The issue with device.type being undefined on MacOs devices may be related to middleware configuration or device detection logic, and verifying the device detection code is the first step towards a solution.

Guidance

• Review the device detection middleware code to ensure it correctly handles MacOs devices and extracts the device.type property.
• Verify that the device object is being populated correctly before attempting to access its type property.
• Check the browser's user agent string to see if it provides any clues about the device type, which might be used to infer the device.type value.
• Test the application on different MacOs versions and browsers to see if the issue is specific to certain environments.

Example

• No specific code example can be provided without more context, but the device detection logic might involve parsing the user agent string, such as const userAgent = req.headers['user-agent'];.

Notes

• The issue might be specific to the MacOs environment or the versions of Chrome and Safari being used.
• Without more information about the device detection code, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

• Apply workaround: The best course of action is to implement a workaround that involves manually setting the device.type value based on the user agent string or other available information, as the root cause of the issue is unclear.
