uidevicehardware's Issues

Xcode 9

Hey I'm using your framework in Xcode 9 ios 11.

The frameworks works, but it doesn't output the device number, only outputs the device.

NSString *platform = [UIDeviceHardware platform];
NSString *platformString = [UIDeviceHardware platformString];

NSLog (@"%@", platform);

NSLog (@"%@", platformString);

2017-12-04 12:07:10.493652-0500 Ruergern[15970:1432227] iPhone

should be iPhone 7 plus

Correction

The iPad Air identifiers are not 100% correct. Here are the corrected values:

if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPad4,2"]) return @"iPad Air (GSM)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPad4,3"]) return @"iPad Air (CDMA)";

Typo for iPad Mini Retina (CDMA)

Both iPad Mini Retina's now have iPad4,4, while the CDMA version should be iPad4,5

Missing a few devices.

Consider adding these, because more and more devices can have apps like the Apple TV, Watch, and possibly HomePod and beyond:

if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone3,2"]) return @"iPhone 4 (GSM, Rev A)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"AppleTV2,1"]) return @"Apple TV (2nd Gen)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"AppleTV3,1"]) return @"Apple TV (3rd Gen)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"AppleTV3,2"]) return @"Apple TV (3rd Gen)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"AppleTV5,3"]) return @"Apple TV (4th Gen)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"AppleTV6,2"]) return @"Apple TV 4K";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch1,1"]) return @"Apple Watch (1st Gen, 38mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch1,2"]) return @"Apple Watch (1st Gen, 42mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch2,3"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 2 (38mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch2,4"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 2 (42mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch2,6"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 1 (38mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch2,7"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 1 (42mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch3,1"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 3 (Cellular, 38mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch3,2"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 3 (Cellular, 42mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch3,3"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS, 38mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"Watch3,4"]) return @"Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS, 42mm)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"AirPods1,1"]) return @"AirPods";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"AudioAccessory1,1"]) return @"HomePod";

And changing to these so that we can see which cell type the device has:

if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone9,1"]) return @"iPhone 7 (Global)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone9,2"]) return @"iPhone 7 Plus (Global)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone9,3"]) return @"iPhone 7 (GSM)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone9,4"]) return @"iPhone 7 Plus (GSM)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone10,1"]) return @"iPhone 8 (Global)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone10,2"]) return @"iPhone 8 Plus (Global)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone10,3"]) return @"iPhone X (Global)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone10,4"]) return @"iPhone 8 (GSM)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone10,5"]) return @"iPhone 8 Plus (GSM)";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone10,6"]) return @"iPhone X (GSM)";

Documentation

Hello, this looks really usefull, thanks for writing it. Is there any way that I can learn how to use it in web based applications? I have an idea and would like to extend it to serve up correct URL schemes based on device. Wouldn't that be awesome?

iPhone 6s / 6s plus are not recognized correctly

if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone8,1"])    return @"iPhone 6s Plus";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone8,2"])    return @"iPhone 6s";

you should fix to this:

if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone8,1"])    return @"iPhone 6s";
if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone8,2"])    return @"iPhone 6s Plus";

UIDeviceHardware platformString incorrect on simulator

Does UIDeviceHardware only work for real devices?

On iPhone X simulator, NSString *platformString = [UIDeviceHardware platformString];
returns "iPhone"
