PlatformChecker provides a structured and intuitive way to access environment-specific checks across different Apple platforms. It is designed to facilitate the integration of platform-specific functionalities in cross-platform Swift projects.
- Platform Checks: Quickly determine which Apple platform your application is currently running on (iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS).
- Device Checks: Easily identify device types such as iPhone, iPad, and Vision devices.
- Environment Checks: Check if your app is running as a Mac Catalyst app, in a simulator, or through TestFlight, and whether it's in debug mode.
You can add PlatformChecker to your project via Swift Package Manager. Add the following dependency to your Package.swift
:
dependencies: [
.package(
url: "https://github.com/markbattistella/PlatformChecker.git",
from: "1.0.0"
)
]
Import PlatformChecker in the Swift file where you want to use the platform and device checks:
import PlatformChecker
Here are some examples of how you can use PlatformChecker in your project:
if Platform.isiOS {
print("Running on iOS")
}
if Platform.isiPhone {
print("Device is an iPhone")
}
if Platform.isDebugMode {
print("Debug mode is enabled")
}
These checks can be used to conditionally apply logic or configurations based on the operating system, device type, or runtime environment.
