Wordpress - How to detect an iPad tablet

So I have created a website in Wordpress to market a mobile app service that I provide. Once a user signs up on the website, I want to detect the device that they are on and send them to the appropriate app store to install the app to make it a seamless transaction for them. So far, I have been using a javascript library called MobileDetect that is based on a PHP MobileDetect project. It is basically based on deciphering the useragent string to determine the device. This has been working fine for awhile, but recently with iOS 13, I can no longer detect an iPad because Apple has changed the useragent because they don't want mobile versions of websites popping up automatically on iPad Pro, they would prefer full desktop versions of the webite to appear. So if a user signs up on a Android or an Amazon Fire device, I can still send them to the appropriate app store. But I am not able to distinguish between whether they sign up on a computer or an iPad as MobileDetect now sees them as both the same.
How can I detect an iPad running iOS 13 so that I can send them to Apple's App Store to download my app after they sign up???

What protocol or api does the android tv remote control app use?

google tv used anymote protocol for remote control but the case with android tv does not looks the same. No official docs clearify if they still use the same.
I want to develop an app just like the app by google but with some changes and additions mostly on gamepad part. Additionally if anyone knew how apps like cetus play and droid mote for android tv work?
almost similar questions have been asked before as well but never properly answered. Any information and suggestions will be helpul

Android Management API (COSU) on AndroidTV?

Android Management APIs are supposed to be "compatible with any device running Android 5.1 or above that has Google Play installed." I really want that to be true, but am having trouble with Android TVs. (Specifically, a NexBox A95x and a TX3mini I'm testing with.)
My stumbling point is how to enter the enrollment token into the device when provisioning it? I had no problem with a Samsung tablet. But, the Android TVs don't use the same startup wizard after hardware reset, so there doesn't seem to be an opportunity to trigger a QR reader, or manually enter the token. I've tried entering the enrollment token into Google Play app (in lieu of the email or phone number to log in), but no luck.
Any ideas or insight how to make this work? If anyone knows a definitive reason why this can't be made to work (e.g. Management APIs don't work on AOSP) that'd be helpful information too.
Clarification (Updated 26 Dec 2017)
Here's a minimal, complete, and verifiable example of the Google Management APIs. The Quickstart exercise from Google, themselves.
Problem: The Quickstart exercise doesn't seem to work with Android TV (tested on a NexBox A95x and a TX3mini). The blocker appears on this step: (Provision A Device). The Android TVs have their own setup wizards that do not accept an Android For Work enrollment token. (I have completed the Quickstart on a Samsung tablet without problem.)
Google's documentation says the Management APIs are "compatible with any device running Android 5.1 or above that has Google Play installed" so it seems these Android TVs should qualify.
Has anyone found a workaround to do complete the Management API Quickstart on an Android TV?
As far as I know the Android Management API doesn't supports Android-based OS's like Android TV, Android Wear, Android Auto or Android Things. It just supports standard Android for phones and tablets.

How to get Android TV app listed in Entertainment Apps on home screen?

I had my first Android TV app go live last night, but it has to be searched for in Google Play. How do you get your app listed in the Entertainment Apps section of the Home screen (and in the Google Play Store on Android TV) so people can actually find it?
It turns out that the Entertainment Apps section does not include all Android TV apps like I had thought. It is a curated list. So unfortunately that means Android TV apps have the same likelihood to be discovered as regular Android apps, and it makes the Andoid TV ecosystem look much smaller to the user than it (presumably) is. I guess I was expecting something more like Roku's channel store.

Designing issue in JQuery mobile with asp.net

I am creating mobile application in asp.net webform targeting IPhone, Android and blackberry. I am using JQuery-Mobile for the same.
Below is my first page I have developed with jquery-mobile.
I don't have iphone, android and blackberry. So my questions are:
Best Simulator I can use on windows XP/ Windows Server 2008 for Iphone, Andriod and Blackberry
Also, when I am running the application on the browser it is looking wierd. I mean textbox size, buttons. Is this the way it looks on normal webpage or it's my faulty design?
As I am developing application in asp.net, do I need to install latest browser which support HTML5 and CSS3 because below browser is IE7.
An old IE is not the best choice to test the capabilities of a HTML5+javascript framework...
For daily basis it's quite ok to use Firefox or any WebKit based browser (chrome, safari ...)
Emulators are very helpful, but to be sure your product works well you will probably need to give it a try on an actual device. I have already seen some reports of problems that show up only when working with the real device.
A team that I do some JQM stuff for has bought a cheap old ipod touch for testing. It's the most demanding apple product you can get. It has the oldest browser, causes most problems and is the slowest. Best choice! :)
Emulator for Android
Simulators for Blackberry
I'm sure Apple has one too - but I think you need to register as a iOS developer before you can get your hands on it. I believe using third-party iOS emulators is against Apple's policy.
