I want to check if the iOS version of the device is greater then the 3.1.3 I tried things like:
[[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue]
but does not work, I just want a:
if (version > 3.1.3) { }
How can I do this?

You can get the OS version using:
ReplyDelete[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]
However, you should avoid relying on the version string as an indication of device or OS capabilities. There is usually a more reliable method of checking whether a particular feature or class is available. For example, you can check if UIPopoverController is available on the current device using NSClassFromString:
if(NSClassFromString(@"UIPopoverController")) {
// Do something
}
Some classes, like CLLocationManager and UIDevice, provide methods to check device capabilities:
if([CLLocationManager headingAvailable]) {
// Do something
}
Apple uses systemVersion in their GLSprite sample code, so my recommendation can't be absolute:
// A system version of 3.1 or greater is required to use CADisplayLink. The NSTimer
// class is used as fallback when it isn't available.
NSString *reqSysVer = @"3.1";
NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
if ([currSysVer compare:reqSysVer options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
displayLinkSupported = TRUE;
Important Note:
If for whatever reason you decide that systemVersion is what you want, make sure to treat it as an string or you risk truncating the minor revision number (eg. 3.1.2 -> 3.1).

Try this blog:
ReplyDeletehttp://cocoawithlove.com/2010/07/tips-tricks-for-conditional-ios3-ios32.html
Try:
ReplyDeleteNSComparisonResult order = [[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion compare: @"3.1.3" options: NSNumericSearch];
if (order == NSOrderedSame || order == NSOrderedDescending) {
// OS version >= 3.1.3
} else {
// OS version < 3.1.3
}
In general it's better to ask if an object can perform a given selector, rather than checking a version number to decide if it must be present.
ReplyDeleteWhen this is not an option, you do need to be a bit careful here because [@"5.0" compare:@"5" options:NSNumericSearch] returns NSOrderedDescending which might well not be intended at all; I might expect NSOrderedSame here. This is at least a theoretical concern, one that is worth defending against in my opinion.
Also worth considering is the possibility of a bad version input which can not reasonably be compared to. Apple supplies the three predefined constants NSOrderedAscending, NSOrderedSame and NSOrderedDescending but I can think of a use for some thing called NSOrderedUnordered in the event I can't compare two things and I want to return a value indicating this.
What's more, it's not impossible that Apple will some day expand their three predefined constants to allow a variety of return values, making a comparison != NSOrderedAscending unwise.
With this said, consider the following code.
typedef enum {kSKOrderedNotOrdered = -2, kSKOrderedAscending = -1, kSKOrderedSame = 0, kSKOrderedDescending = 1} SKComparisonResult;
@interface SKComparator : NSObject
+ (SKComparisonResult)comparePointSeparatedVersionNumber:(NSString *)vOne withPointSeparatedVersionNumber:(NSString *)vTwo;
@end
@implementation SKComparator
+ (SKComparisonResult)comparePointSeparatedVersionNumber:(NSString *)vOne withPointSeparatedVersionNumber:(NSString *)vTwo {
if (!vOne || !vTwo || ![vOne length] || ![vTwo length] || [vOne rangeOfString:@".."].location != NSNotFound ||
[vTwo rangeOfString:@".."].location != NSNotFound) {
return SKOrderedNotOrdered;
}
NSCharacterSet *numericalCharSet = [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@".0123456789"];
NSString *vOneTrimmed = [vOne stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:numericalCharSet];
NSString *vTwoTrimmed = [vTwo stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:numericalCharSet];
if ([vOneTrimmed length] || [vTwoTrimmed length]) {
return SKOrderedNotOrdered;
}
NSArray *vOneArray = [vOne componentsSeparatedByString:@"."];
NSArray *vTwoArray = [vTwo componentsSeparatedByString:@"."];
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < MIN([vOneArray count], [vTwoArray count]); i++) {
NSInteger vOneInt = [[vOneArray objectAtIndex:i] intValue];
NSInteger vTwoInt = [[vTwoArray objectAtIndex:i] intValue];
if (vOneInt > vTwoInt) {
return kSKOrderedDescending;
} else if (vOneInt < vTwoInt) {
return kSKOrderedAscending;
}
}
if ([vOneArray count] > [vTwoArray count]) {
for (NSUInteger i = [vTwoArray count]; i < [vOneArray count]; i++) {
if ([[vOneArray objectAtIndex:i] intValue] > 0) {
return kSKOrderedDescending;
}
}
} else if ([vOneArray count] < [vTwoArray count]) {
for (NSUInteger i = [vOneArray count]; i < [vTwoArray count]; i++) {
if ([[vTwoArray objectAtIndex:i] intValue] > 0) {
return kSKOrderedAscending;
}
}
}
return kSKOrderedSame;
}
