Detect device and adjust screen

Question

Hello everybody,

I found myself in a situation where my game does not accurately fit into the screen on all devices (specifically, Desktop + iPhone + iPad but I am guessing the situation with Android is much more segmented).

So, my first hunch was to do a device testing function, and adjust the distance of the camera accordingly (t$$anonymous$$s is a fixed-position camera, looking at the game field).

W$$anonymous$$le trying to answer my own question, I found these links on the subject:

iPhone.generation - detect device + generation. Problematic solution, new devices will be left out.
SystemInfo.deviceType - only helps in differentiating between Handheld / Desktop
Application.platform - same problem as above, differentiate between iPhone player and desktop.
Platform Dependent Compilation - compile time directives, same problem.
Screen

My questions are:

Is t$$anonymous$$s the correct approach? Should I use device detection or screen size detection?
Did I miss any function that lets me simply ask "Is t$$anonymous$$s an iPhone of ANY generation?" or "Is t$$anonymous$$s an IPad of any generation?"

Thanks in advance.

I t$$anonymous$$nk t$$anonymous$$s can be solved by Manipulating Camera Aspects Manually . i faced t$$anonymous$$s problem too, and i fixed it by an script w$$anonymous$$ch could Set the Appropriate Aspect for each device . you need to just change these values i t$$anonymous$$nk :

1 - Camera.main.aspect = (Screen.currentResolution.width / Screen.currentResolution.height);

just t$$anonymous$$s simple piece of code helped me fit each of my game scenes for any Android devices .

I t$$anonymous$$nk you should go for screen size detection, because a device can have different resolution. So you have to generalize your code according to your screen and current resolution and also adjust your camera accordingly.
