In addition to the compile-time checks given in other answers, you can use the Swift's @available attribute to add new functionality starting at a specific OS version.

if (@available(iOS 13.4, *)) {
    // Only executes above version 13.4.
}

Here's a decent summary of the evolution of OS version checking and usage.

You need to use the macros if you want conditional compilation:

 #if __IPHONE_8_0
 // Works on >= version 8.0
 #else
 // Works on < version 8.0
 #endif

Or alternatively, to check at runtime, use:

float ver = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];
if (ver >= 8.0) {
    // Only executes on version 8 or above.
}
