I'm not the author, but this is pretty much out-of-scope for this library, which is concerned with finding out whether a device is present. In order to identify net device type, you will have to do further inspection, like checking for open ports and services and then deducting what kind of device it could be.

the biggest problem is getting mac address is blocked now. I dont know why Fing can do this on IOS 18

It doesn't here. Most of the devices in my network stay with the "Generic" label. Those that don't expose services like ZeroConf or SNMP which carries their network address on the protocol level, which is something even Apple can't prevent. (Well, technically they could, but obviously no one told them yet ;-)
