iOS Swift - iOS Basics and Setup

Identify the issue in this Swift code intended to detect an Apple Watch:

let device = WKInterfaceDevice.current()
if device.systemName == "watchOS" {
    print("Apple Watch detected")
}

AsystemName does not return "watchOS" on Apple Watch

BWKInterfaceDevice.current() is invalid on Apple Watch

CMissing else clause causes runtime error

DUsing == instead of === for string comparison

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand systemName property
The systemName property on WKInterfaceDevice returns "watchOS" on Apple Watch, but in practice it may not be reliable or may differ.
Step 2: Common issue
Developers often find systemName returns "watchOS" only on simulator or may not be consistent.
Step 3: Better approach
Use systemVersion or other reliable methods to detect Apple Watch.
Final Answer:
systemName does not return "watchOS" on Apple Watch -> Option A
Quick Check:
Verify systemName values on real devices [OK]

Quick Trick: systemName may not reliably equal 'watchOS' on Apple Watch [OK]
