Hi,

The root cause of the issue is related to the new user agent string in Safari browsers running on iPads with iOS 13 and activated “Requesting desktop sites”. This feature is activated by default and it seems like apple is dissolving the borders between their devices. With Sidecar an iPad is also usable as input device or second screen for a MacBook.

The “Requesting desktop sites” feature can be deactivated in the iOS settings for Safari in order to restore the known UI5 behavior (desktop=phone=combi=“false”, tablet=“true”).

With change 625d15b, we want to adapt our UI5 device detection to this new user agent. In the future such a iPad is handled as Combi device (desktop=tablet=combi=“true”, phone=“false”). The Combi flag was introduced for touch-capable Windows 8+ devices, but such iPads fits also best into this category.

@4lexBaum After some time validation in the master branch, we want to down-port the change to all long-term supported branches: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/versionoverview.html
