My iPad is acting like tvOS

[luprochazka-cen63872]

I have a plenty of devices, but one of them is registered as platform=tvos, why? Where does these information come from? How to verify them?

@luprochazka-cen63872 We depend on appium-ios-device

appium-device-farm/src/device-managers/IOSDeviceManager.ts

Line 77 in 96dc754

async getDeviceName(udid: string) {

Okay, but why tvOS? I still don't understand... I think, that our MDM something changed, because without enrollment to MDM this specific device works correctly.... I need a proof:)

@luprochazka-cen63872 What how the lockdown service is returning, https://github.com/appium/appium-ios-device/blob/c3aa90f3dd74594d5257bd6e1f7a5fd2235e1756/lib/utilities.js#L66-L75

It's quite challenging for me to understand and explore other things under the hood. I checked the device-farm-latest.db for this specific tablet and found the record in devices marked as tvos. I tried rewriting the value, but it didn't change anything. In http://localhost:4723/device-farm/api/device, I still see this iPad tablet's platform listed as tvos.

@luprochazka-cen63872 i see the issue here. The current logic we have to determine the os type of ios devices is using its name which is not correct. https://github.com/AppiumTestDistribution/appium-device-farm/blob/main/src/device-managers/IOSDeviceManager.ts#L82

So if the device name has tv in it, we consider it as a tv os. Could you once confirm by changing the name to a differet one?

[luprochazka-cen63872]

Our name contains serial number, that contains ,,TV”, so you can prepare a fix for it. I'll give it a try on Monday and let you know. It's such a funny issue/root cause 😂. Thanks.
