Latest Update returning GBDeviceDisplayUnknown? about gbdeviceinfo

[lmirosevic]

You're right... The display enum used to be calculated based on the logical dimensions of the screen (points). This created a problem with the new iPad Pro devices in two sizes because it made their screens indistinguishable. Between iPhone 5/5S/5C, it was still somewhat acceptable, but having an iPad Pro with a 9.7 inch and a 12.9 inch display returning the same value was definitely wrong.

But you're right that this is a breaking change. At least on the simulator--on real devices it's not. I'll restore the previous functionality as a patch release on 4.x, and make a major bump to 5.0.0 with the new functionality.

I just realised that this was published as a major bump, from 3.8.0 to 4.0.0.

Is this scheduled for release any time soon @lmirosevic?

[lmirosevic]

@philipengberg No need for a release. 3.8.0 returns screen info on the Simulator, but going forward this can't be done reliably (see comment above). And 4.0.0 has the new robust behaviour--but device only.
