[alphacentauridigital]

Feature Description

Platform should classify MacOS based browsers. The current feature lacks MacOs detection. Additional flag required MACOS:true

Use Case

Open Angular App on macOS Chrome or Safari. The following output log is for Platform on MacOS chrome

ANDROID: false
BLINK: true
EDGE: false
FIREFOX: false
IOS: false
SAFARI: false
TRIDENT: false
WEBKIT: false
isBrowser: true

Expected Feature:

ANDROID: false
BLINK: true
EDGE: false
FIREFOX: false
IOS: false
MACOS:true
SAFARI: false
TRIDENT: false
WEBKIT: false
isBrowser: true

Solution for same can be by adding new property to class in https://github.com/angular/components/blob/master/src/cdk/platform/platform.ts:

MACOS: boolean = this.isBrowser && /Macintosh/i.test(navigator.userAgent) && this.WEBKIT;
