Unable to detect iPad running iOS 13

[Bilbosax]

I'm sorry, but I don't know where else to ask this question as I have been unable to find any solid reliable answers, but it does involve mobiledetect.js I have a wordpress website marketing a mobile app that I have created. When a user signs up for my service on my website, I want to redirect them to the correct app store based on the device they sign up on. I have been using mobiledetect.js to do this, but as of iOS 13, I can no longer detect an iPad to send them to Apple's app store. Could any one tell me whether this is a problem that mobiledetect is working on, or what other options I have to detect a modern iPad???

Hi, please search on the internet or ask on stackoverflow. mobiledetect won't solve this problem.

The test page confirms there's an issue detecting iPad running iOS 13.

Please ask Apple. They want the iPad to be detected as a desktop. Don't know why.

But there are still ways to detect the iPad as a device rather than desktop. Why not just alter the code to account for the changes Apple made?
