Hey guys, would anyone know how to get device model name in K/N?
Something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11197509/how-to-get-device-make-and-model-on-ios

not really an answer, but I had a similar requirement and I ended up using the phone’s bluetooth name

[ThomasD]

hmm yeah, seems like it possible, just having a hard time translating it to kotlin 🙂

[saket]

oh you’ll have to delegate it to individual platforms

[ThomasD]

actually I just figured it out 🙂

override val deviceName: String get() {
        memScoped {
           val q = alloc<utsname>()
            uname(q.ptr)
            val name = NSString.stringWithCString(q.machine, encoding =  NSUTF8StringEncoding)
            return name?:""
        }
    }

thanks for taking a look!

[saket]

huh I didn’t realize that was possible, awesome!

just stumbled upon this, thanks for sharing it back then!

It looks like at the moment the val name = line can be refined to q.machine.toKString().
