Browsers support

[ivanmalagon]

As suggested by a customer in https://carto.com/documentation/cartojs/support/browsers/ we should state that carto.js it's suitable for mobile browsers as well.

Previous to that we need to check that they work, of course.

Adding to this issue:

• We need to add a row to https://carto.com/developers/carto-js/support/browser-support/ for most used mobile browsers (as Iago says below).
• Modify the desktop table to say Edge instead of IE, add an entry for IE11 and rewrite the first sentence as CARTO.js works for the last 2 versions in any modern browser and IE11

Waiting for customer's feedback.

I started to play with https://testobject.com to test this map in order to do some real device testing.

• iPhone 5: IOS 10.0.2
  

• Motorola MotoE: Android 6.0, Chrome 63.0.3239.111

Regarding to this issue I see the following steps:

1. Write a list with the most used mobile browsers (maybe from here?)
2. Decide the supported mobile browsers
3. Manually test those browsers
4. Update docs according to this process

Is it possible to test interaction? (The problem reported by the customer that triggered this issue)

yep, both devices had popups working :D

I think we can use most of the ones that CanIUse have in their page: iOS Safari, Chrome for Android, and Samsung Internet. And maybe Opera Mini and UC Browser for Android, but I don't know if would put that ones.

Would you add Firefox for Android?

mobile only?

[ivanmalagon]

This issue is about mobile, yes.

I have checked the examples in Chrome for Android, iOS Safari, and Android browser and work flawlessly.

In Android Browser, CARTO.js itself works but the examples are not being shown properly due to the ES6 code in the examples. I don't know if we want to fix that 🤷‍♂️.

I'll test UC Browser at home with an Android phone capable of supporting it.

These are the main browsers in our GA for embeds. I think we're good to extrapolate that this is a very representative image of our users.

Let's take care of these ones.
