Obtain Model Identifier string on OS X
Swift 4+ using IOKit
import IOKit
func getModelIdentifier() -> String? {
let service = IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault,
IOServiceMatching("IOPlatformExpertDevice"))
var modelIdentifier: String?
if let modelData = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(service, "model" as CFString, kCFAllocatorDefault, 0).takeRetainedValue() as? Data {
modelIdentifier = String(data: modelData, encoding: .utf8)?.trimmingCharacters(in: .controlCharacters)
}
IOObjectRelease(service)
return modelIdentifier
}
You can use sysctl
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <sys/sysctl.h>
NSString *ModelIdentifier()
{
NSString *result=@"Unknown Mac";
size_t len=0;
sysctlbyname("hw.model", NULL, &len, NULL, 0);
if (len) {
NSMutableData *data=[NSMutableData dataWithLength:len];
sysctlbyname("hw.model", [data mutableBytes], &len, NULL, 0);
result=[NSString stringWithUTF8String:[data bytes]];
}
return result;
}
