There is no BridgeSupport for IOkit... so ruby is out for now.
like Henry said you can escape to a shell.. or wrap this snippet in an objc
class...
#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>
#include <IOKit/IOKitLib.h>
// Returns the serial number as a CFString.
// It is the caller's responsibility to release the returned CFString when done
with it.
void CopySerialNumber(CFStringRef *serialNumber)
{
if (serialNumber != NULL) {
*serialNumber = NULL;
io_service_t platformExpert =
IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault,
IOServiceMatching("IOPlatformExpertDevice"));
if (platformExpert) {
CFTypeRef serialNumberAsCFString =
IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(platformExpert,
CFSTR(kIOPlatformSerialNumberKey),
kCFAllocatorDefault, 0);
if (serialNumberAsCFString) {
*serialNumber = serialNumberAsCFString;
}
IOObjectRelease(platformExpert);
}
}
}

"Looks like I talked too fast, there isn't any BridgeSupport file for IOKit,
even in Preview 2. I will look into it, as I'm planning to roll out a new
version soon.
