Set UserAgent when running Selenium mobile tests with SafariDriver

Question

I want to be able to set UserAgent when running Selenium mobile tests on Safari but I can't figure out how I do that. When I run the same tests on Chrome I can define the UserAgent in my desiredCapabilities like this:

var options = {
    desiredCapabilities: {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        chromeOptions: {
            args: [
                'use-mobile-user-agent',
                'user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 8_0 like Mac OSX) ...'
            ]
        }
    }
}

Guess there must be a similar way to do it when running it on Safari. I'm using webdriverio to setup my Selenium project but don't think that should matter.

Thanks.

This is not supported by SafariDriver unfortunately. Hope we will see this in the future.
