[Bug 46037] New: "wine_get_host_version" in ntdll.dll for Android should contain "Android"

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46037

Bug ID: 46037
           Summary: "wine_get_host_version" in ntdll.dll for Android
                    should contain "Android"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.18
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Android
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

On Android "wine_get_host_version" in ntdll.dll contains "Linux" as host system
name. It is adequate to have on Android for the host system name "Android" in
order to be able to potentially differentiate on the app level to other
operating systems.

It returns unmodified uname() output. There is nothing to fix here I think.

If it is just taken from uname then Android's uname is Linux.

Is there any other possibility for a Windows app to find out that the
underlying OS is Android? (e.g. for macOS "wine_get_host_version" provides
Darwin)

In prticular on Android a Windows app needs to act differently compared to
Linux and macOS because Android is usually on smartphones or tablets where the
keyboard behaves differently. Further, the knowledge of the underlying OS is
important for service aspects.

That's what uname() returns for macos kernel, it's not treated differently that
other systems for get_host_version(). Currently it's used for system
information report during error reporting.

If you really want to detect Android specifically you could probably look for
specific Android FS paths, or wine build artifacts specific to Android.
