There is an API:

IORegistryEntrySearchCFProperty

It lets you retrieve the serial number

if let sSerial : CFTypeRef = IORegistryEntrySearchCFProperty(ioService, kIOServicePlane, key as CFString, nil, options) {

Please tell if you need more example of how to use.

  • I thought IOKit is available only for MacOS not for the IOS.
