iOS Question Identify when the app is running on Mac M1

[marcick]

Running this code, the Mac M1 looks like an Ipad. How can I detect that is instead a Mac M1 ?

    Dim no As NativeObject   
    no = no.Initialize("UIDevice").RunMethod("currentDevice", Null)
    log(no.GetField("model").AsString)

I didn't find any direct way.

You can check whether an accelerometer is available:

Private Sub IsMotionSupported As Boolean
    Dim m As Motion 'iPhone library
    m.Initialize
    Return m.As(NativeObject).GetField("accelerometerAvailable").AsBoolean
End Sub

Nice trick. Thank you

There is a class called NSProcessInfo (Obj-C) / ProcessInfo (Swift) that has a boolean var called isiOSAppOnMac. Based on Erel's answer, it doesn't sound like it's implemented in B4i though.

You can access all APIs in B4i. Similar to JavaObject in B4A / B4J.

Something like:

Private Sub IsAppOnMac As Boolean
    Dim ProcessInfo As NativeObject
    ProcessInfo = ProcessInfo.Initialize("NSProcessInfo").RunMethod("new", Null)
    Return ProcessInfo.GetField("isiOSAppOnMac").AsBoolean
End Sub

Note that it is only available on iOS 14+. What is the output of:

Log(Main.App.OSVersion)

on the Mac?

What is the output of:

Log(Main.App.OSVersion)

on the Mac?

16.3, same as Ipad
