platform.node() does not return anymore the device (user) name
-
@osamu In the past platform.node() returned the name assigned by the user to its device.
I guess platform.node() uses ObjectiveC UIDevice.name but this has changed in iOS 16In iOS, the user-assigned device name is available in the Settings app under General > About > Name. In iOS 15 and earlier, the name property returns this name. In iOS 16 and later, the name property returns a generic device name by default instead.

@cvp thank you for your reply.
platform.node() still returned user-assigned name in iOS 16. it changed in iOS 17.
anyway we've got to find some other way in iOS 17. -

Not sure it is possible if the app needs to be modified to allow that
Of course, you can always ask the user to enter his device name
