Tabs on mobile, SplitPane on Desktop

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I would like to change the navigation of my app depending on the platform:

If the user uses a mobile device he should just see Tabs and navigate with them.

Otherwise, if the user is using the app from Tablet or Desktop he should be able to navigate with the SplitPane (Tabs should not be visible). Here maybe I could include some other options-

How should I go about this? Has anyone tried something similar? Is it a good idea to structure navigation like this?

Ionic provides a platform check: http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/api/platform/Platform/#is

So…I don’t really know what would stop you from doing this? What issue are you facing with it?
