Hello, Does anyone know of an API or utility that will identify specific Mac models? The “Model Identifier” like “MacBook8,1” is not sufficient to uniquely describe a model. MacBook8,1 covers all colours of the new MacBook. I am trying to differentiate the silver, from the space grey, from the gold.
My app has an animation where it cycles through various Macs like a slot machine, finally landing on the user’s specific machine. I used to just look at the “Model Identifier”. I could pretty easily identify the matching machine image from /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources. However, the images for the new retina MacBook are in a different location. I found where they live in an apparently randomly-named framework, but I still can’t connect a specific image with the user’s specific machine. There is a private API for the UIDevice class in iOS that provides similar information. Is there anything like this for the Mac?
