MisoGlobalInfo

Swift package to get basic information from the hardware / os / info.plist

Instead of searching everywhere for the most used variables, these are provided here.

Main app’s bundle info

• Application name: GlobalInfo.App.displayName
• Copyright: GlobalInfo.App.copyright
• Identifier: GlobalInfo.App.bundleIdentifier
• Version: GlobalInfo.App.bundleShortVersion, GlobalInfo.App.bundleVersion, and GlobalInfo.App.bundleVersionAsInt.
• Environment: GlobalInfo.App.isiOSOnMac, GlobalInfo.App.isMacCatalyst, GlobalInfo.App.isMacAppleSiliconNativeCode.
• Execution environment: GlobalInfo.App.isPreview, GlobalInfo.App.isRunningTests
• Build architecture: GlobalInfo.App.buildArchitecture

Main app’s argument parsing

• Argument detection: GlobalInfo.App.hasArgument
• Argument value retrieval: GlobalInfo.App.argumentValue
• Process Path: GlobalInfo.App.processPathName

Hardware environment

• Device is a Simulator: GlobalInfo.HW.isSimulator
• Device code name: GlobalInfo.HW.modelIdentifier, GlobalInfo.HW.simulatorModelIdentifier
• Device family name (iPhone, iPad, …): GlobalInfo.HW.family, GlobalInfo.HW.systemFamily,
  GlobalInfo.HW.simulatorFamily

Software environment

• OS version (localized): GlobalInfo.OS.localizedVersion
• OS version: GlobalInfo.OS.majorVersion, GlobalInfo.OS.minorVersion, GlobalInfo.OS.patchVersion

App store receipt validation

• App store receipt retrieval: GlobalInfo.App.appStoreReceiptURL and GlobalInfo.App.appStoreReceipt
• identifierForVendor’s UUID retrieval (not for advertisement): GlobalInfo.OS.uuid

macOS 11 / iOS 14 Logger support

• Defines the subsystem as the bundleIdentifier automatically. Simply create your logger with the
  category: Logger(category: "SomeCategory")
• Defines the subsystem as well as the category automatically from the file name: Logger(file: #file)
• Sends a one-liner on the current app execution context. Useful at app startup: Logger.logAppContext() and
  Logger.logAppContextOnce()
