iOS
Implementation
iOS support uses native Swift with UIKit and Network frameworks.
Technologies Used
- UIKit - Device and display information
- Network.framework - Network monitoring
- Security.framework - Keychain for persistent UUID
APIs Used
| Information | API |
|---|---|
| Device Name | UIDevice.current.name |
| Model | utsname().machine |
| UUID | UIDevice.identifierForVendor |
| Battery Level | UIDevice.current.batteryLevel |
| Network Type | NWPathMonitor |
| Display | UIScreen.main |
Privacy Restrictions
Device Name
iOS 16+ restricts access to the real device name. Without the entitlement, iOS returns generic names like "iPhone".
The plugin falls back to hostname for a more descriptive name.
MAC Address
Apple has blocked MAC address access since iOS 7. The plugin returns "unavailable".
Serial Number
The real serial number is not accessible. The plugin stores a persistent UUID in Keychain as a substitute.
Network Interfaces
| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
en0 | WiFi |
pdp_ip0 | Cellular data |
The plugin checks both interfaces for IP address.
Entitlements
For full device name access, add to your entitlements:
xml
<key>com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name</key>
<true/>Note: This entitlement requires Apple approval.
