Bug 245213 – navigator.appVersion returns version with comma i.e., 15.6,2 instead of 15.6.2 in iOS 15.7

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKit Misc.

Hello!

Our team has observed that in the recent update of iOS, i.e., iOS 15.7, when trying to access the browser version through navigator API i.e,

const appVersion = navigator.appVersion

useragent string returned contains a comma in its version. The above code snippet returns the following string

"5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 15_7 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.6,2 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1"

As can be observed, 15.6,2 has a comma in it instead of a dot. Is this an expected output of navigator.appVersion ? 


We have tested the same code snippet in the older version, and we got the version as 15.6.1. And there has been same cases in iPadOS 15.7
For reference: https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js/issues/594

Let me know if there are any details required.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the report! This is Safari version, not WebKit, so this will be tracked by Apple internally.
