Cross-platform Swift Package to report the operating system name and version on which the app is running
Key Aspects:
- a cross-platform API that works for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, macOS, Mac Catalyst, Linux and Windows
- a universal API so that you don't need to worry about the various underlying APIs (
UIDevicevs.WKInterfaceDevicevs.ProcessInfo) - Dealing with the fact that iOS Apps on Mac and Mac Catalyst deal with two versions, the macOS version the app is running on (or targeting) and the iOS (support) version that macOS version corresponds with.
- The package default behavior is to obtain the underlying macOS version while still having the option to get the "iOS support version" if desired.
