Bug Fixes and Specification Changes] Fixes to OS Judgment for Android Devices

Thank you for your continued use of our website. We have recently implemented a fix for a problem in which the OS is determined to be "Linux" when using Chrome (version 143 or higher) on Android tablets (see here for details). In addition, due to the correction, some Android tablets may not be able to determine the OS version (e.g. Android 14/15/16), and we would like to inform you of this as a specification change. *This modified version will be applied sequentially to customers using the dedicated server. Fix/Improvement (Before/After) [Before] When using Chrome (version 143 or higher) on an Android tablet, the device OS was determined to be "Linux" and the following functions were notified and controlled as "not recommended devices. After the issue was fixed: The OS judgment process has been corrected. In addition, the judgment logic has been improved so that even if the OS is determined to be "Linux," it is treated as an Android tablet (Android (tablet)) (*However, the judgment may become unstable in some environments). (*However, the judgment may be unstable in some environments.) This will resolve the issue of Android tablets displaying a notification that they are not recommended devices. Due to this modification, the OS version may not be able to be determined or recorded on some Android tablet/Chrome (version 143 or higher) environments. Depending on the device and environment, the OS version may be determined and recorded as before. The control based on OS version conditions may not work as intended on Android tablets. (For example, even if "Android OS 16 or higher" is specified, you may be able to log in without being notified that your device is not a recommended device, even if it is actually an Android OS 14 device. ■Administrator's RequestIf you are controlling by "version specification" of Android OS, there is a possibility that Android tablets cannot be controlled as intended. Please consider reviewing the setting policy if necessary. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue. We will continue to make every effort to improve our services.
