OnPointerDown PointerEventData clickCount not triggering on mobile device (touch)

Questions & Answers
1

I have a touch joystick for a mobile device. (works nicely) it uses PointEventData position to work. I’m trying to make it double press the joystick to boost. Works in editor on joysticks but only returns 0 for data.clickCount on mobile device even though the joystick works properly.
I’ve got a gameobject with EventSystem, Standalone input module and touch input module(redundant apparently)

 public virtual void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData data)
    {
        isPressed = true;
        UpdateAxes(data.position);

        if (data.clickCount == 2)
        {
                StartCoroutine(player.Boost());
        }
    }

Apparently, this is not a bug, but intended (as stated by Unity QA). On Standalone we can use clickCount, but on mobile we have to manually count taps.
