How to get the OS X system version?

Question

I want to get the OS X system version, such as: 10.5.4, 10.4.8, etc. I want to get it in my app, how do I do this? Thanks!

Answer 1

There's also a Cocoa wrapper around the Gestalt calls others have mentioned in the Google Toolbox for Mac: http://code.google.com/p/google-toolbox-for-mac/source/browse/trunk/Foundation/GTMSystemVersion.h

Answer 2

NSString *osver()
{
    SInt32 versionMajor=0, versionMinor=0, versionBugFix=0;
    Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersionMajor, &versionMajor);
    Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersionMinor, &versionMinor);
    Gestalt(gestaltSystemVersionBugFix, &versionBugFix);
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d.%d.%d", versionMajor, versionMinor, versionBugFix];
}
