discord.py mobile status monkey patch

"""
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THIS IS UNDOCUMENTED, I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS WITH YOUR BOT(S).

You can import this into your main file since these are top-level statements or just copy-paste the whole thing (with credits).

What this does is patch the identify payload, the `$browser` field to be exact.
Since it's hardcoded in discord.py, we monkey-patch it.
You can change it to either `Discord Android` or `Discord iOS`—I'm not aware of any other options,
but those 2 seem to trigger the mobile indicator.

how do i do this for discord.py-self?

Hi there, i've just skimmed through their code. Seems like you don't need to monkeypatch like you would on discord.py. You just need to change the super_properties instance variable of HTTPClient.

class CustomClient(discord.Client):  # or commands.Bot
    async def setup_hook(self):
        self.http.super_properties["browser"] = ...
        self.http.super_properties[...] = ...  # maybe wanna change other key as well like `os`

Code above is untested as I don't self bot.

thanks i actually fixed it by messing around the code in gateway.py inside discord.py
