Question

I am using successfully the mobylette rails gem:
https://github.com/tscolari/mobylette

I was wondering if anybody knows of how to disable the gem for iPads…

Thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

Looks like the mobylette gem uses the code from mobile-fu (appears inactive, has issue #21 which is your problem).

The regex matches the iPad user agent on “mobile”

My suggestion — override the is_mobile_request? controller method to:

#controllers/application_controller.rb
def is_mobile_request?
  return false if request.user_agent.to_s.downcase =~/ipad/
  request.user_agent.to_s.downcase =~ /#{MOBILE_USER_AGENTS}/
end
