ios sdk version format

Question

Does the iOS version string follow a documented format? I want to parse the sdk version strings and sort them in ascending order. Does the Apple documentation say anything about this?

Answer 1

From UIDevice

@property(nonatomic,readonly,retain) NSString *systemVersion

An example of the system version is @”1.2”.

@propertyic,readonly,retain) NSString *systemName
@propertyic,readonly,retain) NSString *model

Possible examples of model strings are @”iPhone” and @”iPod touch”.
