Checks which iOS version is running.

iOSVersion.js

// http://stackoverflow.com/a/14223920/339827
function iOSVersion() {
  var match = (navigator.appVersion).match(/OS (\d+)_(\d+)_?(\d+)?/),
		version = [
			parseInt(match[1], 10),
			parseInt(match[2], 10),
			parseInt(match[3] || 0, 10)
		];

	return parseFloat(version.join('.'));
}

So, with this solution you lose the third digit in the version string, no? In that case, you could not bother capturing the third digit since it will be discarded in every case. Floating point numbers in JavaScript can only have one decimal point, but iOS versions thus far have had up to two decimal points/periods/dots.

v = [6, 1, 4];
output = parseFloat(v.join('.'));

output === 6.1

Hello,

A little improvement:

function iOSVersion() {
    var match = (navigator.appVersion).match(/OS (\d+)_(\d+)_?(\d+)?/),
        version;

    if (match !== undefined && match !== null) {
        version = [
            parseInt(match[1], 10),
            parseInt(match[2], 10),
            parseInt(match[3] || 0, 10)
        ];
        return parseFloat(version.join('.'));
    }
    return false;
}

If there is an error maybe you aren't in iOS device. In this case the function return false :-).

Hope it helps.

Plus detect Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Windows Mobile...

function iOSVersion() {
  if(!window.MSStream){
    // There is some iOS in Windows Phone...
    // https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh869301(v=vs.85).aspx
    return false;
  }
  var match = (navigator.appVersion).match(/OS (\d+)_(\d+)_?(\d+)?/),
      version;

  if (match !== undefined && match !== null) {
    version = [
      parseInt(match[1], 10),
      parseInt(match[2], 10),
      parseInt(match[3] || 0, 10)
    ];
    return parseFloat(version.join('.'));
  }

  return false;
}

Hi @lennybacon, I'd suggest tweaking that to, if(window.MSStream), having just tested that code on iphone 5 s and it returns false.

function iOSVersion() {
  if(window.MSStream){
    // There is some iOS in Windows Phone...
    // https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh869301(v=vs.85).aspx
    return false;
  }
  var match = (navigator.appVersion).match(/OS (\d+)_(\d+)_?(\d+)?/),
      version;

  if (match !== undefined && match !== null) {
    version = [
      parseInt(match[1], 10),
      parseInt(match[2], 10),
      parseInt(match[3] || 0, 10)
    ];
    return parseFloat(version.join('.'));
  }

  return false;
}

match returns only array or null

can I use this to detect ios 12 version? will it work?
