Mobile Publisher context

If I develop a Lightning Web Component (LWC) and want this component to behave or to display different styles based on the container where this component is shown. (Web based Community vs Mobile publisher community) Is there a way to know that my community is viewed on a browser or on the Mobile Publisher container ? I was wondering if there’s a global attribute that I can get to know the context of even a class added in the HTML body ?

HI Jean,
You can use the $Browser value provider to determine if you're on a Windows, iOS, or Android phone, or if you're running on a phone, tablet, or full-sized device.

Hi Jean!

Did you even find any attributes which could show the user was from a Mobile Publisher context?

Hi Jonathan,

I'm using an Aura based theme and I did not found any Aura attributes that flag if my theme is viewed on mobilePublisher or Experience site... the browser detection wasn't reliable enough.. Maybe the new LWC based theme has an attribute (I didn't verify)

Thanks,

Hello! I have encountered a requirement from Salesfroce to track BOTH ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION of our mo app users (https://salesforce-marketingcloud.github.io/MarketingCloudSDK-iOS/location/geolocation-overview.html )  Hovewer our app was forbidden to track ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION by Apple & Google.

I would like Salesforce to make changes in their requirements location so that ONLY ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION is needed for Geopushes sending. (WITHOUT ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION)
These changes will allow 19 500 customers, including our retail company goodwine Ukraine, to use all functionalities of Marketing Cloud that will contribute in sales boosting.

Please, vote for my idea at ideaexchange here: https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=0874V0000010znOQAQ
