Hello there, I am currently developing a BBB client for mobile devices that is using the HTML5 server interfaces.
Unfortunately the interface tends to change every now and then and leaves the app broken.
Thus I am only able to really support one version of the BBB server at a time.
Now I see that using the HTML5 server interfaces is kind of an "inofficial" way of interacting with BBB, but as far as I know the only sensible one to achieve the desired results of having an alternative client.
One simple way for me to support multiple BBB server versions at once is if I could retrieve the server version from a publicly available API of the individual BBB servers.
Related issues
I've seen that #9212 already addressed this issue, but not specifically an easy way to retrieve the version programmatically. But maybe it's still considered to be a duplicate.
Security concerns
I also see that a publicly available API may be a security problem that we have to consider, but personally I don't see a feasible alternative.
