Hi everyone,

I'm running a self-hosted Appwrite instance and using it in a Flutter app for iOS. I’m implementing email OTP authentication with the following code:

await _account.createEmailToken( userId: userId, email: email, );

The issue I'm facing is that in the OTP email, it says that the login attempt happened from a browser. Also, when checking the user’s sessions in Appwrite, the session is always recorded as:

BROWSER AND DEVICE: "Mobile Safari on iOS 18.2"

This is misleading since the request originates from my Flutter app on iOS, not from a browser. Is there a way to make Appwrite recognize this as a mobile app session instead? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

TL;DR
Issue with email OTP login in Flutter app showing as browser session instead of mobile app in Appwrite. Developers asked to check user agent header and inspect network requests. Looking for solution to make Appwrite recognize sessions as mobile app, not browser.

Any chance you can inspect the network request made by the SDK?

And look at the user agent header?
