Check for device iOS version. is device is iOS 5 or iOS 6.

+ (BOOL) isIOS5

Check if iOS current device is having retina display?

#pragma mark- Device Check=
+ (BOOL) isRetina

    if([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:@selector(scale)])
        return [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 2.0 ? YES : NO;
    
    return NO;
}

Check if multitasking is available iOS device?

#pragma mark- Multitasking -
+(BOOL)multitaskingAvailable
{
UIDevice* device = [UIDevice currentDevice];
BOOL backgroundIsSupported = NO;
if ([device respondsToSelector:@selector(isMultitaskingSupported)])
   backgroundIsSupported = device.multitaskingSupported;
return backgroundIsSupported;
}

Redirect NSLog to file.

#pragma mark- Redirect NSLog to file-

+ (void)redirectNSLogToDocumentFolder
{
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    
    NSString *fileName =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"NSLogFile"];
    
    NSString *logFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
    
    NSLog(@"Redirecting NSLog to file");
    freopen([logFilePath cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding],"a+",stderr);
