首选的方法

在Swift 2.0中，苹果使用更方便的语法添加了可用性检查(点击这里阅读更多)。现在你可以用更简洁的语法检查操作系统版本:

if #available(iOS 9, *) {
    // Then we are on iOS 9
} else {
    // iOS 8 or earlier
}

这是首选检查respondsToSelector等(什么是新的在Swift)。现在，如果你没有正确地保护你的代码，编译器总是会警告你。

iOS 8的新功能是NSProcessInfo，允许更好的语义版本检查。

在iOS 8及更高版本上部署

对于iOS 8.0或以上版本的最低部署目标，使用NSProcessInfo operatingSystemVersion或isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion。

这将产生以下结果:

let minimumVersion = NSOperatingSystemVersion(majorVersion: 8, minorVersion: 1, patchVersion: 2)
if NSProcessInfo().isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion(minimumVersion) {
    //current version is >= (8.1.2)
} else {
    //current version is < (8.1.2)
}

在iOS 7上部署

对于iOS 7.1或以下的最低部署目标，使用compare with NSStringCompareOptions。UIDevice systemVersion上的NumericSearch。

这将产生:

let minimumVersionString = "3.1.3"
let versionComparison = UIDevice.currentDevice().systemVersion.compare(minimumVersionString, options: .NumericSearch)
switch versionComparison {
    case .OrderedSame, .OrderedDescending:
        //current version is >= (3.1.3)
        break
    case .OrderedAscending:
        //current version is < (3.1.3)
        fallthrough
    default:
        break;
}

使用nv-ios-version项目(Apache License, Version 2.0)中包含的Version类，很容易获取和比较iOS版本。下面的示例代码转储iOS版本，并检查版本是否大于或等于6.0。

// Get the system version of iOS at runtime.
NSString *versionString = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];

// Convert the version string to a Version instance.
Version *version = [Version versionWithString:versionString];

// Dump the major, minor and micro version numbers.
NSLog(@"version = [%d, %d, %d]",
    version.major, version.minor, version.micro);

// Check whether the version is greater than or equal to 6.0.
if ([version isGreaterThanOrEqualToMajor:6 minor:0])
{
    // The iOS version is greater than or equal to 6.0.
}

// Another way to check whether iOS version is
// greater than or equal to 6.0.
if (6 <= version.major)
{
    // The iOS version is greater than or equal to 6.0.
}

博客:获取并比较iOS版本在运行时与版本类 获取并比较iOS版本在运行时与版本类

一个在obj - c++ 11中更通用的版本(你可能会用NSString/C函数替换其中的一些东西，但这不是那么冗长。这给了你两种机制。splitSystemVersion为你提供了一个包含所有部分的数组，如果你只是想打开主版本(例如switch([self splitSystemVersion][0]) {case 4: break;案例5:断裂;})。

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>

- (std::vector<int>) splitSystemVersion {
    std::string version = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] UTF8String];
    std::vector<int> versions;
    auto i = version.begin();

    while (i != version.end()) {
        auto nextIllegalChar = std::find_if(i, version.end(), [] (char c) -> bool { return !isdigit(c); } );
        std::string versionPart(i, nextIllegalChar);
        i = std::find_if(nextIllegalChar, version.end(), isdigit);

        versions.push_back(boost::lexical_cast<int>(versionPart));
    }

    return versions;
}

/** Losslessly parse system version into a number
 * @return <0>: the version as a number,
 * @return <1>: how many numeric parts went into the composed number. e.g.
 * X.Y.Z = 3.  You need this to know how to compare again <0>
 */
- (std::tuple<int, int>) parseSystemVersion {
    std::string version = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] UTF8String];
    int versionAsNumber = 0;
    int nParts = 0;

    auto i = version.begin();
    while (i != version.end()) {
        auto nextIllegalChar = std::find_if(i, version.end(), [] (char c) -> bool { return !isdigit(c); } );
        std::string versionPart(i, nextIllegalChar);
        i = std::find_if(nextIllegalChar, version.end(), isdigit);

        int part = (boost::lexical_cast<int>(versionPart));
        versionAsNumber = versionAsNumber * 100 + part;
        nParts ++;
    }

    return {versionAsNumber, nParts};
}


/** Assume that the system version will not go beyond X.Y.Z.W format.
 * @return The version string.
 */
- (int) parseSystemVersionAlt {
    std::string version = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] UTF8String];
    int versionAsNumber = 0;
    int nParts = 0;

    auto i = version.begin();
    while (i != version.end() && nParts < 4) {
        auto nextIllegalChar = std::find_if(i, version.end(), [] (char c) -> bool { return !isdigit(c); } );
        std::string versionPart(i, nextIllegalChar);
        i = std::find_if(nextIllegalChar, version.end(), isdigit);

        int part = (boost::lexical_cast<int>(versionPart));
        versionAsNumber = versionAsNumber * 100 + part;
        nParts ++;
    }

    // don't forget to pad as systemVersion may have less parts (i.e. X.Y).
    for (; nParts < 4; nParts++) {
        versionAsNumber *= 100;
    }

    return versionAsNumber;
}

以下是一个简短的版本:

struct iOSVersion {
    static let SYS_VERSION_FLOAT = (UIDevice.currentDevice().systemVersion as NSString).floatValue
    static let iOS7 = (Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT < 8.0 && Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT >= 7.0)
    static let iOS8 = (Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT >= 8.0 && Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT < 9.0)
    static let iOS9 = (Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT >= 9.0 && Version.SYS_VERSION_FLOAT < 10.0)
}

用法:

if iOSVersion.iOS8 {
    //Do iOS8 code here
}

#define _kisiOS7 ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0)

if (_kisiOS7) {
            NSLog(@"iOS7 or greater")
} 
else {
           NSLog(@"Less than iOS7");
}

虽然有点晚了，但鉴于iOS 8.0的存在，这可能是相关的:

如果可以避免使用

[[UIDevice目前]系统版本]

相反，检查是否存在方法/类/其他任何东西。

if ([self.yourClassInstance respondsToSelector:@selector(<yourMethod>)]) 
{ 
    //do stuff 
}

我发现它对位置管理器很有用，我必须调用requestWhenInUseAuthorization for iOS 8.0，但该方法不适用于iOS < 8
