# The concept of system information

uni-app provides two asynchronous (uni.getSystemInfo) and synchronous (uni.getSystemInfoSync) APIs to obtain system information.

System information returns a lot of content, and each operating system, each MiniApp, and each browser have different definitions of them. These concepts are reorganized in uni-app, and the original concepts of these platforms are also retained for backward compatibility, but it is not recommended to use.

Sorted according to the level of the operating environment, from the bottom up, uni-app has 6 concepts:

  • device:运行应用的设备,如iphone、huawei
  • os:设备的操作系统,如 ios、android、windows、mac、linux
  • rom: customization based on the operating system, unique concepts of the Android system, such as miui, Hongmeng
  • host: The host program that runs the application, that is, the operating environment between the OS and the application, such as the browser, WeChat and other MiniApp hosts, and the App integrated with uniMPSDK. The app directly developed by uni-app has no host concept
  • uni: Information related to the uni-app framework, such as the compiler version and runtime version of the uni-app framework
  • app: developer's application-related information, such as application name, version

# uni.getSystemInfo(OBJECT)

uniCompileVersion compiler version and uniRuntimeVersion runtime version, under normal circumstances should be the same value, that is, the version of uni-app.

If you use the uni-app that comes with HBuilder to develop, this value is equivalent to the version of HBuilder; if you use the separate uni-app cli to develop, it is equivalent to the cli version.

But on the App platform, the values of uniCompileVersion and uniRuntimeVersion will be different in some cases:

  • App cloud packaging chooses a packager version that does not match. For example, the HBuilder version is old and there is no corresponding packager in the cloud. At this time, uniCompileVersion will be smaller than uniRuntimeVersion after packaging.
  • The app is packaged offline, using a mismatched offline SDK
  • App wgt upgrade, that is, the app installed on the mobile phone is the old version uniRuntimeVersion, the new version of wgt uses a different version of HBuilder or uni-app cli version, and implements the application resource upgrade

# language return value description

The international specification of language is BCP47 specification, which is divided into three sections, main language-secondary language-region. For example zh-Hans-CN means Chinese-Simplified-Mainland China

But except for the main language, the latter two can be omitted. On different platforms, their omission rules are also different.

  • app-ios, not omitted, returns zh-Hans-CN
  • app-android, web, WeChat MiniApp, omit sub-language, return zh-CN
  • The uni-app framework and multilingual applications, as well as the Alipay MiniApp, use zh-Hans to represent Simplified Chinese

Therefore, after obtaining the language, strings cannot be compared directly, and segments need to be compared. There is also a library on npm dedicated to comparing BCP47 language specification.

# deviceId return value description

Web, MiniApp, and iOS are all platforms that strictly protect user privacy, and it is difficult to obtain effective unique device tags on these platforms.

Android has also improved user privacy protection. On very old mobile phones, you can obtain unlimited imei. On second-old mobile phones, when obtaining private information such as imei, you need to pop up a box to ask the user to authorize. New Android phones (Android10 and above) have been completely unable to obtain imei.

Therefore, most of the marking devices can only be marked by storing a random number locally.

deviceId, on the app-android platform, will use imei and mac according to the priority (only if the user has authorized, if it is found that authorization or unauthorized, skip this step), if not obtained, it will be randomly generated logo. Other platforms use randomly generated logos directly.

When using random numbers stored locally, the deviceId will become invalid in the following situations:

  • Uninstall apps
  • Reset App data on Android
  • The browser clears the cache or turns on the privacy mode,

For scenarios that require ad tracking under the app, idfa can be used on iOS, and [OAID](http://www. html5plus.org/doc/zh_cn/device.html#plus.device.getOAID)

# deviceModel return value description

The uni-app 3.5.1+ version standardizes the return value of deviceModel. For example, the return value of iPhone11ProMax in the new version is iPhone 11 Pro Max. Each device model [reference specification](https://www.theiphonewiki.com/ wiki/Models) corresponding to the value of Generation

Note: Unknown will be displayed for a while after the new model is launched, and the official will adapt it as soon as possible.

# Other notes

  • deviceType
    • app-ios only supports phone, pad.

    • app-android supports phone, pad, tv, car, watch, vr, appliance, undefined, unknown, more detailed explanations about each type Refer to Android Official Documentation.

    • Among them, the judgment of pad type under the app-android platform is not necessarily accurate on non-Google official devices such as domestic pads. If necessary, the developer can make a judgment based on the model or screen size. The Java code for judging pad in the uni-app framework source code is as follows, for reference:

      public static boolean isTablet(Context context) {
      	return (context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK) >= Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE;
      }
      
  • osTheme: app-ios Only when the application theme is set to follow the system can the theme of the system be obtained. MiniApp have similar restrictions.
  • Screen height = native NavigationBar height (including status bar height) + usable window height + native TabBar height
  • windowHeight does not contain the height of NavigationBar and TabBar
  • On the Web side, windowTop is equal to the height of NavigationBar, and windowBottom is equal to the height of TabBar
  • On the App side, windowTop is equal to the height of the NavigationBar in the transparent state, and windowBottom is equal to the height of the TabBar in the transparent state
  • Highly relevant information should be obtained in onReady. Too early to get it.
