Ionic 4: this.platform.is('desktop') returns wrong value when installed apk in android 4.4.4

I have created an app using Ionic 4 and built android app with below code .

alert('desktop ' + this.platform.is('desktop'));

When I installed an app in android 4.4.4 version device and emulator, it is showing the alert value as true whereas In other higher OS version device it is showing as false .

I have used platform condition at so many places in my code. Because of the above issue code is breaking in android 4.4.4 devices.

I am not able to understand why it is showing desktop platform as true in android kitkat device?
