[Improvement] Manage user_agent in a smarter way

[Chouffy]

• Situation: user_agent is either defined:
  1. in tgtg module
  2. in this module, as a default one - see this in the code
  3. in this module, as a user configured string
• Complication: this user_agent will change over time, as TGTG update their app and depreciate older ones
• Improvement needed: how to make this sustainable? tell users how to look for it and update themselves the config?

If anybody has ideas, I'm listening :)

Use a file on GitHub to acces the user agent data. This file could be updated by the community. So every time tgtg starts it retrieves that data?

Hey @liudger thanks for your idea! I like it a lot.
Would you know by any chance python projects that works like this?
So we don't reinvent the wheel 😁

I just found out that the other tgtg addon is generating a random client? Maybe have look at that code.

It uses google play scraper to get the recent info from play store. Really nice solution!

Was thinking about it, I will do it in the tgtg package.
If it's not done in a week don't hesitate to open an issue on tgtg repo.

Love it, I was 5 min away to open an issue on the tgtg repo. Thanks a bunch!
I'll keep this issue open to keep track of the implementation in this Home Assistant integration

0.13.0 has been published it will by default retrieve automatically the last apk version in playstore to be used in user agent

Awesome, I'll update this later this week
