I want to get the OS X system version, such as: 10.5.4, 10.4.8, etc. I want to get it in my app, how do I do this? Thanks!
You can read the property list at "/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and extract the "ProductVersion" key, this is how the OS X installer application does it. Here's an example:
NSString *versionString;
NSDictionary * sv = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:@"/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist"];
versionString = [sv objectForKey:@"ProductVersion"];
Alternatively, the command swvers -productVersion
will do the same.
You can use Gestalt:
SInt32 version = 0;
Gestalt( gestaltSystemVersion, &version );
BOOL leopard = ( version >= 0x1050 );
if ( leopard )
{
//draw it this way
}
else
{
//draw it that way
}
Keep in mind if you're checking if a method is available or not, it's better to test that directly using respondsToSelector:.
