How to check if Haptic Engine (UIFeedbackGenerator) is supported

Question

I am wondering how we could check if the new iOS 10 API UIFeebackGenerator is available on the current device. There are some more things we would need to check

Answer 1

You know your device support Haptic vibration effect or not with below code,

UIDevice.currentDevice().valueForKey("_feedbackSupportLevel");

These methods seem to return:

• 0 = Taptic not available

• 1 = First generation (tested on an iPhone 6s) ... which does NOT support UINotificationFeedbackGenerator, etc.

• 2= Second generation (tested on an iPhone 7) ... which does support it.

it returns 2 for devices with haptic feedback - iPhone 7/7+ or higher so, you can easily use this to generate Haptic feedback
