DeviceFirmwareVersion, OSVersion, DeviceStatus missing in Windows Phone 8.1 runtime

Question

in my Silverlight Windows Phone 7/8 projects I always used these methods/classes to get informations about the user phone:

Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceStatus.DeviceFirmwareVersion;
System.Environment.OSVersion.Version;
Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceStatus.DeviceName;
Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceStatus.DeviceManufacturer;

But now in Windows Phone 8.1 runtime they are missing. Are there some alternatives? My app doesn't use networking. Thanks and sorry for bad english.

Answer 1

You can use the EasClientDeviceInformation class

e.g.

var deviceInfo = new EasClientDeviceInformation();
var manufacturer = deviceInfo.SystemManufacturer;
var name = deviceInfo.SystemProductName;
var firmwareVersion = deviceInfo.SystemFirmwareVersion;
var osVersion = "8.1"; // Only 8.1 so far. No os version method exists afaik in 8.1
