How do I know when I can offer Live Text in my app on iOS 15?

Viewed 62

I want to offer Live Text (text recognition) in my app when it's available, but how can I tell when it's available? iOS 15 is required, and that's easy to determine, but Live Text also requires an A12 or later processor, which isn't readily detectable AFAIK.

How can I tell if an iDevice supports Live Text? And yes, I want to find out before trying to use it, so I can provide a different UI when it's available. Is there anything like ARKit's isSupported property I can query for Live Text?

It appears the A12 requirement is only for Apple's apps (presumably to optimize performance), as I have text recognition happily working on lesser processors and the app using it is on sale in the App Store.
