Device reporting

Hey all, we're building an internal iOS app for company deployment and I've been hitting a wall in regards to some device reporting (namely phone number and grabbing the OS version).

We're planning on recording employee phone numbers and OS version for trouble shooting.

Does Apple provide the API for such information?

Thanks!

 

It's ok, I forgive you I'll do more poking around for the iOS version. Maybe I can grab the UDID, that should be good enough (we already grab the phone number for the Android phones, just wanted to keep it consistent).

 

Oh nuts. Good to know. We are already capturing login details, but some employees might be using multiple phones/devices. I guess we'll actually have to TALK to the employees. Oh the humanity.

Thanks for the code! I currently have no way of testing it without deploying it for beta testers (which the app isn't ready yet) because our dev iPhone isn't in service. But the checking for nil worked so that'll be something I look for in the testing phase.

And don't worry, this is definitely just an internal app being deployed on company phones. The Android version is already out in beta testing, just trying to wrap my head around iOS development's more "interesting" aspects.

 

Thanks, I think I'll stick to phone number and then if nil just put a zero in the db. Thinking more about it the user already logs into the app, so we know the user so if the app returns nil then it's not the end of the world and 99% of the devices should have a phone number.

What would be helpful is iOS version. If someone has an issue with the app and we can tell him that he needs to update his iPhone that would be handy.

 

Thanks kindly, works wonderfully.
