iOS Api compiled in simulator but not in iphone device

[sgauravv]

hi
I have used these lines in our iphone application
NSString *uniqueID = [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier];
CFTypeRef serialNumberAsCFString;

io_service_t platformExpert = IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault,IOServiceMatching("IOPlatformExpertdevice"));

if(platformExpert)

{

serialNumberAsCFString = IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(platformExpert, CFSTR(kIOPlatformSerialNumberKey), kCFAllocatorDefault,0);

}
IOObjectRelease(platformExpert);

NSString *serial = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat"%@",serialNumberAsCFString];

now when i am compiling this code in iphone simulator it is working fine...
but when i am compiiling in iphone device that it is giving an error that these lines are undeclared.
same problem is also coming when I am using NSCalenderDate.
it is working fine in simulator but in device it is undeclared

May I know why it is so??
please help me.

IOKit isn't available on the iPhone. The simulator doesn't use the same frameworks as the iPhone. NSCalenderDate isn't available on the iPhone either (search around, there are a few threads on this).

hi.........
BUt NSDate is working and NSCalender is derived class of NSDate and from same framework.....

Not on the iPhone. There are threads on this front page that give alternatives (namely NSCalendar and NSDateComponents).
