Checking for quick actions availability

Question

I'm using home screen quick actions that's only supported in IOS9. Using the constant UIApplicationLaunchOptionsShortcutItemKey will crash if used in IOS8. What is the correct way to check if quick actions is supported?

One way is to check for IOS9 through systemVersion but I'm hoping there is a better way. [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]

In objective C you can check to see if a class exists. Say something like

if([UIApplicationShortcutItem class]){
//Handle shortcut launch
}
