Question

I want to add information about the iOS and device model while sending any request to server to fetch the data from server. Can any one help me how to send some specific information to server so that server should be able to understand the request came from real iPhone/iPad device , Simulator ?

Answer 1

Use UIDevice currentDevice object to access device info:

Model:

[UIDevice currentDevice].model;

Version:

[UIDevice currentDevice].version;

Use ASIHTTPRequest POST to send data to server.

-(void)sendDataToServer{

        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://URL_TO_YOUR_SERVER"];

        ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];


        [request addPostValue:[UIDevice currentDevice].model; forKey:@"model"];
        [request addPostValue:[UIDevice currentDevice].version; forKey:@"version"];

        [request startSynchronous];

        NSError *error = [request error];
        if (!error) {
            //NO error
        }else{
            //Deal with error
        }
}
