I'm facing the difficulty to retrieve iOS version and according to this link https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/3766 , it seems there isn't gonna be any support to retrieve iOS Version. I've tried third partyprovider but seems like unable to retrieve iOS Version too.
May I know how you guys handle that?
On iOS, the Version is a result of -[UIDevice systemVersion], which is a string with the current version of the operating system. An example of the system version is "10.3". For example, to detect the major version number on iOS:
import {Platform} from 'react-native';
const majorVersionIOS = parseInt(Platform.Version, 10);
console.log("iOS version " + majorVersionIOS);
This is my DeviceUtils.ts file to reuse that logic. This could be greatly improved, happy to hear suggestions.
export const getMajorVersionIOS = (): number => {
if (Platform.OS != 'ios' ) {
throw Error("Platform is not iOS");
}
return parseInt(Platform.Version, 10);
}
export const getMinorVersionIOS = (): number => {
if (Platform.OS != 'ios' ) {
throw Error("Platform is not iOS");
}
return parseInt(
Platform.Version.substring(
Platform.Version.indexOf('.') + 1
)
, 10);
}
iOS >= 14.5export const isIOSAbove14Point5 = (): boolean => {
if (Platform.OS === 'ios' ) {
const majorVersion = getMajorVersionIOS();
const minorVersion = getMinorVersionIOS();
if (majorVersion >= 15) return true;
if (majorVersion === 14 && minorVersion >= 5) return true;
}
// It's not iOS or it's not above 14.5
return false;
}
export const isPlatformVersionHigher = (
majorVersion: number,
minorVersion: number = 0
) => {
// On android Platform is API number
if (typeof Platform.Version === 'number' && Platform.OS === 'android') {
return Platform.Version >= majorVersion;
}
if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
const [major, minor] = (Platform.Version as string)
.split('.')
.map((c) => parseInt(c, 10));
if (!major || !minor) {
return false;
}
return majorVersion >= major && minorVersion >= minor;
}
return false;
};
This is a clean and dirty way to check platform versions are higher than the given major and minor versions respectively.
On android Platform.Version will always return a number.
return majorVersion < major || (majorVersion === major && minorVersion < minor)
