PH44588: APPEND THE APPLABEL/APPVERSION AT THE END OF USER-AGENT FOR ANDROID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Would like the MFP SDK for Android to provide a unique
  identifier for the app versions in the user agent requesting an
  endpoint on the traffic level itself. There is a difference with
  the Android vs the iOS in how the user agent information is
  pulled in, as this is not consistent across both platforms.
  
  Below is sample for both:
  
  iOS: "ClientRequestUserAgent":"MyCorp/3.5.1 (iPhone; iOS 15.3;
  Scale/3.00),MyCorp/3.5.1 (iPhone; iOS 15.3;
  Scale/3.00),MyCorp/3.5.1 (iPhone; iOS 15.3;
  Scale/3.00)/WLNativeAPI/8.0.0.00.2016-01-24T11:48:54Z"
  
  Android: "ClientRequestUserAgent":"WLNativeAPI(z3q;
  RP1A.200720.012.G988WVLS2DUJ1; SM-G988W; SDK 30; Android 11)"
  
  You can see above in iOS the App Version is appended in user
  agent but not so for Android.
