I want to display the Android Version in my app (like 8.0, 9.0...). For now I am using: Platform.Version But this returns the API version (24, 25...).
I would like an option that's more elegant than just creating a mapping, and that does not require republishing every time there is a new android release. Is there a way to do that without an external library?
In js you can :
import { Platform } from 'react-native';
const OsVer = Platform.constants['Release'];
and in type script:
const OsVer = (Platform.constants as any).Release
You can use this library,
import DeviceInfo from "react-native-device-info";
DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion()
apart from version, it has lots of methods which are much handy for getting device specific information.
EDIT: It is getSystemVersion()
getVerison() does not print the android version itself. It prints the application version.You can use Platform.constants.Release
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '_reactNative.Platform.Constants.Release')
You have 2 options
Platform.Version with appropriate version number.Use 3rd party library for example react-native-device-info, getSystemVersion
DeviceInfo.getSystemVersion()
Use Platform.
import { Platform } from 'react-native';
const version = Platform.Version;
Hi check this component
react-native-device-info
**Gets the API level.**
**Examples**
getAPILevel()
const apiLevel = DeviceInfo.getAPILevel();
// iOS: ?
// Android: 25
// Windows: ?
I am facing the same issue, but this is not a problem. If you console.log Platform.Version, it will return the target SDK version. With the help of targetSdkVersion, you can determine the device version (e.g., targetSdkVersion = 33 is for Android 13 and above). Alternatively, you can use the react-native-device-info package; it will provide you with the Device OS version directly. you can checkout this also- https://reactnative.dev/docs/platform
