A simple method to obtain the detailed model of your device

binaryblues · March 30, 2024, 3:21pm

Apple’s product line is diverse, and here we have collected some of them in a table to help you identify the specific model of your device.

-- Use this function to perform your initial setup
function setup()

    local mydm = deviceMetrics()
    
    for k,v in pairs(mydm) do
        print(k,v)
    end
    
    print("This device is: ", deviceInfo[mydm.platform].typename)
    
end

-- This function gets called once every frame
function draw()
    -- This sets a dark background color 
    background(40, 40, 50)    
end

@binaryblues - thanks for the project, I started building up my own data list a while ago, largely because I wanted to know the different resolutions available so I could check out my code at different resolutions. Unfortunately- your code fires up an error.:

Documents/AppleDevData/Main.lua:13: attempt to index a nil value (field '?')
stack traceback:
	Documents/AppleDevData/Main.lua:13: in function 'setup'

P.s. curious - what’s the PC simulator listed and thanks for the link.

binaryblues · March 30, 2024, 4:01pm

@Bri_G Thank you for the response, I run it on 3.x, if select 4.x, it will return error:

Error in call to setup():
Documents/TestCodeCraft/Main.lua:4: attempt to call a nil value (global 'deviceMetrics')
stack traceback:
	Documents/TestCodeCraft/Main.lua:4: in function 'base.setup'

However, it does not seem to be the issue you’ve encountered. Line 13 appears to be an empty line after an ‘end’. Let me check what’s going on.

Regarding the last two simulators, I am not certain what they correspond to; perhaps they are utilized within Xcode.

binaryblues · March 30, 2024, 4:29pm

@Bri_G Please try this one:

GetDevice.zip (2.1 KB)

Bri_G · March 30, 2024, 5:08pm

@binaryblues - sorry still bombs out on me, error below.

I’m on 3.10.1 (456)


Documents/GetDevice/Main.lua:10: attempt to index a nil value (field '?')
stack traceback:
	Documents/GetDevice/Main.lua:10: in function 'setup'

binaryblues · March 30, 2024, 6:46pm

@Bri_G Please try this one, I changed the order of the code, placing deviceInfo at the forefront.
GetDevice.zip (2.1 KB)

Bri_G · March 30, 2024, 7:17pm

@binaryblues - good idea but it failed again. Think this must be due to running it in the latest beta. The error from this version was as follows:


Documents/GetDevice%201/Main.lua:150: attempt to index a nil value (field '?')
stack traceback:
	Documents/GetDevice%201/Main.lua:150: in function 'setup'

Could it be something to do with the call you have made ? Seems a bit odd if it works on yours I’m going to try it on my other app which is not on the latest beta.

Bri_G · March 30, 2024, 7:26pm

@binaryblues - think I may have found the problem, I added a print(#mydm) after you have defined it and it returns 0. So the table has no data present hence the code can not read it.

@sim - do you know of any reason behind this issue with the latest beta?

binaryblues · March 30, 2024, 7:26pm

@Bri_G Indeed, it’s quite peculiar. I just thought of a possibility that the iPad model you’re using might not be included in the table I provided earlier. Please check it out.

Add a line of code before the statement that’s causing the error to see what string your device returns. This database seems to be from the year 2023, and if you are using the latest Apple device, it’s likely not recorded in the table.

    print("My device: ", mydm.platform)
    print("This device is: ", deviceInfo[mydm.platform].typename)

binaryblues · March 30, 2024, 7:30pm

@Bri_G It does seem quite strange. To my understanding, this function deviceMetrics() was deprecated in version 4.x, but it appears that you are using version 3.x.

Bri_G · March 30, 2024, 7:33pm

@binaryblues - added the line as requested and it came back with

My device: iPad14,3

Another thought just occurred to me, I have installed the latest iOS update on this pad today, that is 17.4.1. Could the OS be causing any issues ?

Edit: just rechecked your tabulated data and the iPad 14, 3 is not on the list.

binaryblues · March 30, 2024, 7:57pm

@Bri_G I believe we’ve found the reason; your device is not listed in the table. The iOS version should not affect this, but it seems an update to the table is necessary. Manually add an entry, and you should be able to see the output.

Bri_G · March 30, 2024, 10:49pm

@binaryblues - after adding a line to the table your project ran fine on both my old and new iPads.

I’m not sure if the table is correct as it looks like lates pad was described as a mini. Is there another source for the data in the tables ?

binaryblues · March 31, 2024, 5:41pm

@Bri_G Besides this link https://github.com/zou-xian/DevicePlatForm, it also includes ‘Watch’, and I haven’t found a better source for now. It might require us to improve this product model list by ourselves. Fortunately, Apple only releases a few new products each year.
