UIAlertController if iOS 8, otherwise UIAlertView

Question

I want to conform to the UIAlertController used in iOS 8 since UIAlertView is now deprecated. Is there a way that I can use this without breaking support for iOS 7? Is there

Answer 1

Create simple utility function to reduce code

CODE :

// pass minimum required iOS version
BOOL isOSSupported(NSString *minRequiredVersion)
{
    NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
    BOOL isOSSupported = ([currSysVer compare:minRequiredVersion options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending) && 
                                  ![currSysVer isEqualToString:@"Unknown"];
    return isOSSupported;
}

USE :

if(isOSSupported("8.0")
{
// Code for iOS8 and above
}
else
{
// Code for iOS7 and below
}

Or Use system constant NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1 as below

if(floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1)
{
   // Code for iOS8 and above
}
else
{
   // Code for iOS7 and below
}
