Code below will tell you what device you are using. Thought it might come in handy for a few.
I need this for Game Center.
Only tested on iPad and iPhone 3GS/4G
Move the .m file to XCode in the iPhone Folder
Use this code in .m file:
//
// UIDeviceHardware.m
//
// Used to determine EXACT version of device software is running on.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
char iDevice[1024]="";
const char* deviceName()
{
size_t size;
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
char *machine = malloc(size);
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);
NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithCString:machine];
strcpy(iDevice, [platform UTF8String]);
free(machine);
return iDevice;
}
Demo code for GLBasic:
LOCAL name$ = ""
?IFDEF IPHONE
IMPORT "C" const char* deviceName()
device$ = deviceName()
SELECT device$
CASE "iPhone1,1" ; device$ = "iPhone 1G"
CASE "iPhone1,2" ; device$ = "iPhone 3G"
CASE "iPhone2,1" ; device$ = "iPhone 3GS"
CASE "iPhone3,1" ; device$ = "iPhone 4"
CASE "iPhone3,2" ; device$ = "Verizon iPhone 4"
CASE "iPod1,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 1G"
CASE "iPod2,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 2G"
CASE "iPod3,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 3G"
CASE "iPod4,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 4G"
CASE "iPad1,1" ; device$ = "iPad"
CASE "iPad2,1" ; device$ = "iPad 2 (WiFi)"
CASE "iPad2,2" ; device$ = "iPad 2 (GSM)"
CASE "iPad2,3" ; device$ = "iPad 2 (CDMA)"
CASE "i386" ; device$ = "Simulator"
ENDSELECT
?ENDIF
// your device
PRINT device$, 10, 20,1

Thank you Miller. Most handy.
So where does the top code go? .m?
Can you try this, inline?
[code=glbasic]//
// UIDeviceHardware.m
//
// Used to determine EXACT version of device software is running on.
INLINE
typedef unsigned long size_t;
extern "C" int sysctlbyname(const char *name, void *oldp, size_t *oldlenp, void *newp, size_t newlen);
const char* deviceName()
{
static char device[1024];
size_t size = 1024;
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", device, &size, NULL, 0);
return device;
}
ENDINLINE
This is the output when I attempt to build the project:

Silly me. The NSString line is not needed now. Can you retry?
I am trying to use it like this:
FUNCTION WHATDEVICE:
LOCAL name$ = ""
LOCAL device$=""
?IFDEF IPHONE
IMPORT "C" const char* deviceName()
device$ = deviceName()
SELECT device$
CASE "iPhone1,1" ; device$ = "iPhone 1G"
CASE "iPhone1,2" ; device$ = "iPhone 3G"
CASE "iPhone2,1" ; device$ = "iPhone 3GS"
CASE "iPhone3,1" ; device$ = "iPhone 4"
CASE "iPhone3,2" ; device$ = "Verizon iPhone 4"
CASE "iPod1,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 1G"
CASE "iPod2,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 2G"
CASE "iPod3,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 3G"
CASE "iPod4,1" ; device$ = "iPod Touch 4G"
CASE "iPad1,1" ; device$ = "iPad"
CASE "iPad2,1" ; device$ = "iPad 2 (WiFi)"
CASE "iPad2,2" ; device$ = "iPad 2 (GSM)"
CASE "iPad2,3" ; device$ = "iPad 2 (CDMA)"
CASE "i386" ; device$ = "Simulator"
ENDSELECT
?ENDIF
RETURN device$
ENDFUNCTION

size_t size = 1024;
sysctlbyname("hw.machine", device, &size, NULL, 0);

When you try to run in windows, it gives this (because its an iOS thing?):

When I use this in my main program to test on iPad2:
PRINT WHATDEVICE(),0,250
And that returns 0. Let me know if I am doing something wrong.
Cheers.
and you did compile for iOS?
Yep.
ah. silly me. It's not compiling/linking the true app. Please stick with an external .m file so far that you link against in XCode.
Okay, well thanks for trying. That does bring me back to my original question of how do I use this? I've not used an .m file before.
Thanks
just open GLBasic, paste the code, save as .m (not .gbas). Then, compile and put this .m file into your xcode project. (Now, how does that work again? ;/
Ok, I added it in to the root of my xCode project as DeviceInfo.m... I though it literally had to be called .m... :whistle: Got it working, thanks!
