In a previous post I explained how to detect if an app runs in a 32-bit or 64-bit iOS Simulator. It was not explaining how to detect if an iOS app runs on a 32-bit or 64-bit iOS device. This post aims at giving a generic method that can detect all cases:

You can compile an application as 32-bit and/or as 64-bit and you can run this application in a 32-bit or 64-bit iOS Simulator:
In the following article I will describe a simple method to inject code into executables on Mac OS X 10.8 using the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES environment variable.

In this post I talk on how to write a Service for MacOS X 10.6. If you don’t know what is a Service, Apple describes it here http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/:
It might be useful in some cases to know if the MacOS kernel is running in the 32-bit or 64-bit (K64) mode. This is useful for example if you write an application like ‘System Profiler’ that displays the details of the currently running system:
As you know, it is possible to force an Universal Binary (ppc, i386, x86_64) to run in 32-bit mode (i386) even if the machine could run x86_64 binaries.
