Determine device (iPhone, iPod Touch) with iOS
I am making a game that utilizes the peer-to-peer bluetooth capabilities of the iPhone (and probably the iPod touch 2nd generation). However, to stop the users from trying to play a multiplayer on an iPod 1st gen and iPhone 2G I need to check for the specific device model.
[[UIDevice currentDevice] model] will only tell me if the device is an "iPhone" or an "iPod touch". Is there a way to check for the specific device model, like: "iPhone 3GS", "iPod touch 1st generation" or something.
EDIT:
There is a category to UIDevice (I think it's created by Erica Sadun, I don't take credit for it) that uses the following code to get the specific device model. You can find the whole category here along with other useful stuff: https://github.com/erica/uidevice-extension
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
@implementation UIDevice (Hardware)
/*
Platforms
iPhone1,1 -> iPhone 1G
iPhone1,2 -> iPhone 3G
iPod1,1 -> iPod touch 1G
iPod2,1 -> iPod touch 2G
*/
- (NSString *) platform
{
size_t size;
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
char *machine = malloc(size);
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);
NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithCString:machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
free(machine);
return platform;
}
This works and apps using this have been lately approved in the AppStore.
You can get the device model number using uname
from sys/utsname.h
. For example:
#import <sys/utsname.h>
NSString*
machineName()
{
struct utsname systemInfo;
uname(&systemInfo);
return [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}
The result should be:
@"i386" on the simulator @"iPod1,1" on iPod Touch @"iPod2,1" on iPod Touch Second Generation @"iPod3,1" on iPod Touch Third Generation @"iPod4,1" on iPod Touch Fourth Generation @"iPhone1,1" on iPhone @"iPhone1,2" on iPhone 3G @"iPhone2,1" on iPhone 3GS @"iPad1,1" on iPad @"iPad2,1" on iPad 2 @"iPad3,1" on iPad 3 (aka new iPad) @"iPhone3,1" on iPhone 4 @"iPhone4,1" on iPhone 4S @"iPhone5,1" on iPhone 5 @"iPhone5,2" on iPhone 5
