Mac WebViewer Requests Safari Upgrade

Hello,

I’m working on an intergation with WhatsApp. Further down the line it will use the WhatsApp API but as a short term solution I had hoped to just open the WhatsApp web client in a WebViewer.

When I open it, however, it says that it needs Safari 9+.

I’m running Mojave with Safari 12.1.1

Any help as to why it’s asking for 9+ when it has 12?

I also get the same thing when trying to access Google Drive through a WebViewer.

The following code gives the following result:

    data:text/html,
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
       <head>
          <meta charset="UTF-8">
          <style>
          </style>
       </head>
       <body>
          <div id="example"></div>
          <script type="text/javascript">
             txt = "<p>Browser CodeName: " + navigator.appCodeName + "</p>";
             txt+= "<p>Browser Name: " + navigator.appName + "</p>";
             txt+= "<p>Browser Version: " + navigator.appVersion + "</p>";
             txt+= "<p>Cookies Enabled: " + navigator.cookieEnabled + "</p>";
             txt+= "<p>Platform: " + navigator.platform + "</p>";
             txt+= "<p>User-agent header: " + navigator.userAgent + "</p>";
         
             document.getElementById("example").innerHTML=txt;
         
          </script>
       </body>
    </html>
