Adjustments to Device Categorization Logic

We improved device and OS categorizations to classify Mac devices, Android devices, and other variations more accurately. Improvements include:

  • "Mac" cases now go to desktop (previously it looked for more specific variations like "macOS", "macintosh", etc.).
  • Adjusted Android device categorization to better handle cases previously categorized as "Other" by refining the logic to detect specific strings like pinterestbot rather than just pinterest.
  • Enhanced categorization of devices with the Silk OS to distinguish between Tablet (Kindles) and TV.
  • Updated Android categorization to cover more device types while maintaining existing logic to handle the diverse range of Android devices like tablets and TVs.
