Best current version, without need to deal with numeric search within NSString is to define macros
(See original answer: Check iPhone iOS Version)
Those macros do exist in github, see: https://github.com/carlj/CJAMacros/blob/master/CJAMacros/CJAMacros.h
Like this:
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedSame)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedDescending)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedAscending)
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v) ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedDescending)
and use them like this:
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_LESS_THAN(@"5.0")) {
// code here
}
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"6.0")) {
// code here
}
to get OS version:
[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]
returns string, which can be turned into int/float via
-[NSString floatValue]
-[NSString intValue]
like this
Both values (floatValue, intValue) will be stripped due to its type, 5.0.1 will become 5.0 or 5 (float or int), for comparing precisely, you will have to separate it to array of INTs check accepted answer here: Check iPhone iOS Version
NSString *ver = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
int ver_int = [ver intValue];
float ver_float = [ver floatValue];
and compare like this
NSLog(@"System Version is %@",[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]);
NSString *ver = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
float ver_float = [ver floatValue];
if (ver_float < 5.0) return false;
For Swift 4.0 syntax
below example is just checking if the device is of iOS11
or greater version.
let systemVersion = UIDevice.current.systemVersion
if systemVersion.cgFloatValue >= 11.0 {
//"for ios 11"
}
else{
//"ios below 11")
}
From iOS 8 we can use the new isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion
method on NSProcessInfo
NSOperatingSystemVersion ios8_0_1 = (NSOperatingSystemVersion){8, 0, 1};
if ([[NSProcessInfo processInfo] isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion:ios8_0_1]) {
// iOS 8.0.1 and above logic
} else {
// iOS 8.0.0 and below logic
}
Beware that this will crash on iOS 7, as the API didn't exist prior to iOS 8. If you're supporting iOS 7 and below, you can safely perform the check with
if ([NSProcessInfo instancesRespondToSelector:@selector(isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion:)]) {
// conditionally check for any version >= iOS 8 using 'isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion'
} else {
// we're on iOS 7 or below
}
For the sake of completeness, here's an alternative approach proposed by Apple itself in the iOS 7 UI Transition Guide, which involves checking the Foundation Framework version.
if (floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1) {
// Load resources for iOS 6.1 or earlier
} else {
// Load resources for iOS 7 or later
}
I know I am too late to answer this question. I am not sure does my method still working on low iOS versions (< 5.0):
NSString *platform = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;
NSLog(@"[UIDevice currentDevice].model: %@",platform);
NSLog(@"[UIDevice currentDevice].description: %@",[UIDevice currentDevice].description);
NSLog(@"[UIDevice currentDevice].localizedModel: %@",[UIDevice currentDevice].localizedModel);
NSLog(@"[UIDevice currentDevice].name: %@",[UIDevice currentDevice].name);
NSLog(@"[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion: %@",[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion);
NSLog(@"[UIDevice currentDevice].systemName: %@",[UIDevice currentDevice].systemName);
You can get these results:
[UIDevice currentDevice].model: iPhone
[UIDevice currentDevice].description: <UIDevice: 0x1cd75c70>
[UIDevice currentDevice].localizedModel: iPhone
[UIDevice currentDevice].name: Someones-iPhone002
[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion: 6.1.3
[UIDevice currentDevice].systemName: iPhone OS
[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]
