PhoneGap How to detect IOS version?

I am wondering in Phonegap/Cordova is there anyway to detect IOS version? Because i need to distinguish between IOS 8 and Prior as the push notification payload limit is different for 8Prior and 8.

Thanks

You can use window.cordova.platformId for platform name and use window.cordova.platformVersion to detect the platform version, no need to use any third-party plugins

According to cordova docs, you can use var string = device.version; to get the device version.

Example from cordova docs:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Device Properties Example</title>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

// Wait for device API libraries to load
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

// device APIs are available
function onDeviceReady() {
    var element = document.getElementById('deviceProperties');
    element.innerHTML = 'Device Model: '    + device.model    + '<br />' +
                        'Device Cordova: '  + device.cordova  + '<br />' +
                        'Device Platform: ' + device.platform + '<br />' +
                        'Device UUID: '     + device.uuid     + '<br />' +
                        'Device Version: '  + device.version  + '<br />';
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
  <p id="deviceProperties">Loading device properties...</p>
</body>
</html>

Try something like this:

// Android:    Froyo OS would return "2.2"
//             Eclair OS would return "2.1", "2.0.1", or "2.0"
//             Version can also return update level "2.1-update1"
//
// BlackBerry: Torch 9800 using OS 6.0 would return "6.0.0.600"
//
// iPhone:     iOS 3.2 returns "3.2"
//
// Windows Phone 7: returns current OS version number, ex. on Mango returns 7.10.7720
// Tizen: returns "TIZEN_20120425_2"
var deviceVersion = device.version;

From the documentation here: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device#quick-example-3

Hope that helps!
