如何在运行时确定当前的iPhone OS版本并比较版本字符串？

Question

How can you determine and compare (>, <, etc.) the current OS version of the iPhone that the app is running on? There is a certain bug in 3.0 but not in 3.1+ so I'd like to be able to skip out a bit of code if the current OS version is not >= 3.1.

This needs to be at runtime not compile time!

Answer 1

You can for instance do something like this:

NSString *reqSysVer = @"3.1";
NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];

if ([currSysVer compare:reqSysVer options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
 {
    //Do some clever stuff
 }

Answer 2

Do you mean determine the version of the OS? The SDK is fixed at build time, but the OS may change. To get the OS version, use [UIDevice currentDevice]. systemVersion. To get the SDK version, I think you can use __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED.

Answer 3

A more reliable way is to do something like this:

static inline NSComparisonResult compareCurVersionTo(int major, int minor, int point)
{
    NSUInteger testVers = major*10000 + minor*100 + point;
    NSUInteger curSysNum = 0;
    NSUInteger multi = 10000;
    for(NSString *n in [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] componentsSeparatedByString:@"."]) {
        curSysNum += [n integerValue] * multi;
        multi /= 100;
    }
    if(curSysNum < testVers) return NSOrderedAscending;
    if(curSysNum > testVers) return NSOrderedDescending;
    return NSOrderedSame;
}

This handles the "Leopard" bug where the minor releases were more than "9".
