iOS Get Device

[DistantJ]

ExACTly, the advantages of this extension are for example removing layers and effects, anything which causes slowdown, or even changing the framerate, if running on a 3GS or earlier.

Good work Ivan, you the man!

If I can help you with anything please do let me know, I have a bit of C and Obj-C knowledge, I just haven't had the time to learn the extension SDK.

Would it be possible to use this extension to make a different kind of universal binary?

The idea would be to have two frames in the app - the first would be for iPod and iPhone devices, and the second frame would be for iPad. If the resolutions of the frames were different, could this allow deployments without using letterboxes?

OR .. does the resolution of the application limit this possibility?

Oh wow only just found out about this, this is something I really could use as i'm pushing the limits of a 4th gen device right now and was worried about 3gs users, thanks!

Posting again to ask if there will be an update to support the iphone 5, touch 5th gen at some point?

Sure,
I'll try and find some free time to update it for iPhone 5 etc

That would be great, this extension is quite an important one IMO and thanks again for making it.

Hi Tim,
As of Beta 5 (I think) Get Device extension will no longer react to general the general inquiries "Is device iPhone" or "Is device iPad".
It will react only to specific models inquiries, e.g. "Is device iPhone 4s".
It used to work OK before.
Sorry to be the guy that always report bugs...

It would be great if you just tested for device type:

if ([device rangeOfString:@"iPad"].location != NSNotFound)
return true;

if ([device rangeOfString:@"iPhone"].location != NSNotFound)
return true;

if ([device rangeOfString:@"iPod"].location != NSNotFound)
return true;

Sometimes just know that is a great benefit. Keeping up with new models etc. is going to be difficult.

This plugin is a life saver....should def. be a default plugin.
