How to get Current Device & Current platform in iOS ?

Question

I am a new developer in iOS Developing. I faced a problem on current device. According to requirement i have to design app for all device. So anybody can help me how to get Current device & current platform of iOS?

For current device i am using this code:

 NSString *deviceType = [[UIDevice currentDevice] model];

My requirement is i have to adjust UITableView row height according to device.

I think you got my question. If you need any information please tell me.

Thanks in advanced.

Why do you need to know the device to adjust the table view size? Simply base the size off of the size of the view controller's view. — rmaddy, Sep 25 '14 at 14:18

Ok try this one.

NSString *deviceType = [[UIDevice currentDevice] model]; // for current device

if ([deviceType isEqualToString:@"iPhone"])
{
    NSString *platform = [self platformRawString];
    NSLog(@"platform :%@",platform);
    // To set the half cut in the last cell.

    if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone2,1"])
        //cellHeight = 39.5;
    else if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone4,1"])
        //cellHeight = 42;
    else if ([platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone5,3"] || [platform isEqualToString:@"iPhone5,4"])
        //cellHeight = 42.5;
    else
        //cellHeight = 40.0;
}

Method for getting platform

- (NSString *)platformRawString
{
  size_t size;
  sysctlbyname("hw.machine", NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
  char *machine = malloc(size);
  sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0);
  NSString *platform = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:machine];
  free(machine);
  return platform;
}

If you need this code to size a table view you are doing it wrong. — rmaddy, Sep 25 '14 at 14:43
