Get IOS device name during script

Support
1

Hello,
I’m doing Appium test in Ruby and I need to get to the IOS device name during scripting (to put it in the screenshot name).
I’ve tried driver.GetCapabilities() but function is unknow.
To get android device name connected, I do “%x(adb shell getprop | grep ro.product.model)” but I don’t find something like that for IOS.

So if somebody can help me to get capabilities or directly emulator device name, it would be very appreciate !
Thanks a lot.

I use a shell script to manage my appium processes. One of which steps is to dynamically grab the UDID if needed.
Assumes: Only 1 iOS device attached.

        #Get the iOS udid dynamically
        udid=`system_profiler SPUSBDataType | sed -n -e '/iPad/,/Serial/p' -e '/iPhone/,/Serial/p' | grep "Serial Number:" | awk -F ": " '{print $2}'`

You can use the Ruby system command to call out to any shell script or initiate any shell command of your choosing. I’m not a java expert, but I imagine there’s a similar way in Java.

thanks
