Is there a way to get the current platform of the device? I'm hoping for a better way than to do something like this:

let platform: String

#if os(iOS)
platform = "iOS"
#elseif os(watchOS)
platform = "watchOS"
#elseif os(tvOS)
platform = "tvOS"
#elseif os(macOS)
platform = "macOS"
#else
platform = "unknown"
#endif

Is there a better way to do this?

How about `UIDevice.current.systemName`? – koropok Feb 25 '21 at 04:56
Unfortunately this isn't present in macOS – TruMan1 Feb 25 '21 at 04:56
Do you want a compile time or run time check? The code you have is a compile time check. For a runtime check you need to consider things like Mac catalyst and iOS apps running under macOS on Apple Silicon (You can use a `ProcessInfo` property for these) – Paulw11 Feb 25 '21 at 05:11
At runtime is what I was looking for – TruMan1 Feb 25 '21 at 05:21
