Thanks to everyone's help in getting to a place where I could submit a bug report, it is #23921.

jacque and scott_morrow ran the test on 5 different Android configurations! Thanks so much.

A special thanks again to bobcole for the insight to use the $_Server array to report on the OS of the device that is connected to the the server!

The link to the results of the test is found at:

For my app, I only needed the username and password, i.e. short texts, so I have finished up and it works everywhere, albeit not exactly the same.

We have a great community of developers and I am very thankful for the help.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/649 ... os-big-sur which basically says it's a bug in the reporting agent.
Yes that's an Apple bug, there is a shell command I was able to use to get the correct system version (macOS 11.x. or 12.x instead of 10.16):

Code: Select all

put shell("sw_vers -productVersion")
I believe that command gets its info from the same place Installer apps do (inside a .plist file somewhere).
