Any way to get the name of iPhone user?

Question

Outside of asking the user to input their name, is there any way to get it off the device?

I tried this library, which attempts to extract the name from [UIDev

You can use:

NSLog(@"user == %@",[[[NSHost currentHost] names] objectAtIndex:0]);

I did receive compiler warnings that the methods +currentHost and -names were not found. Given the warning, I’m not sure of Apple’s intention to make this available (or not) as a publicly accessible API, however, everything seemed to work as expected without the need to include any additional header files or linking in additional libraries/frameworks.

Edit 2: If you have integrated your app with Facebook you can easily retrieve the user info, see Facebook Fetch User Data
