    UWP Is there anyway to determine if I am running on Windows vs Xbox when platform is UWP?

    I only want to open the virtual keyboard when running on a Xbox. Any ideas? I've looked into os_type, os_version, and os_get_info. All 3 seem to be the same when running on Windows vs Xbox (when using UWP).
