如果我们需要实现版本的 app 自动更新,那么我们需要获取当前运行程序的版本信息和 appstore 里发布的最新版本信息。
当前运行程序的版本信息,可以在 mainBundle 里面获取
NSDictionary *infoDict = [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary];
NSString *currentVersion = [infoDict objectForKey:@"CFBundleVersion"];
而 appstore 里发布的最新版本信息获取稍微复杂一些,有两种方案,思路都是一样的:
其一:在某个服务器上存储最新发布的版本信息,需要的时候向该服务器查询;
其二:在需要的时候向 appstore 查询;
在这里我来介绍第二种方法:向 appstore 查询应用程序信息,包括作者,版本,app 介绍页面地址等信息。
英文好的同学可以参考 apple 的文档:www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html
具体步骤如下:
1,用 POST 方式发送请求:
http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=你的应用程序名称&entity=software
更加精准的做法是根据 app 的 id 来查找:
http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=你的应用程序的ID
2,从获得的 response 数据中解析需要的数据。因为从 appstore 查询得到的信息是 JSON 格式的,所以需要经过解析。解析之后得到的原始数据就是如下这个样子的:
{
resultCount = 1;
results = (
{
artistId = 301724683;
artistName = Citibank;
artistViewUrl = "http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/citibank/id301724683?uo=4";
artworkUrl100 = "http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/117/Purple/a1/85/a9/mzl.hvwnfdkw.png";
artworkUrl512 = "http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/117/Purple/a1/85/a9/mzl.hvwnfdkw.png";
artworkUrl60 = "http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/099/Purple/67/86/7e/mzi.utfdvrgy.png";
averageUserRating = "3.5";
averageUserRatingForCurrentVersion = 5;
contentAdvisoryRating = "4+";
currency = USD;
description = "Description of you app.";
features = (
iosUniversal
);
fileSizeBytes = 4141195;
genreIds = (
6015
);
genres = (
Finance
);
ipadScreenshotUrls = (
"http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/095/Purple/e0/a6/17/mzl.pbbxcjzt.1024x1024-65.jpg",
"http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/036/Purple/cc/14/98/mzl.dyairego.1024x1024-65.jpg"
);
isGameCenterEnabled = 0;
kind = software;
languageCodesISO2A = (
EN
);
price = 0;
primaryGenreId = 6015;
primaryGenreName = Finance;
releaseDate = "2011-01-24T06:14:35Z";
releaseNotes = "* View Real-time streaming prices for U.S. Treasuries \n\n* Open and Save your Citi Research in your favorite PDF Reader and Library such as iBooks\n\n* Search for your favorite videos";
screenshotUrls = (
"http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/066/Purple/17/51/fb/mzl.zywiavgn.png",
"http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/026/Purple/73/85/97/mzl.csmdtndk.png"
);
sellerName = "Citibank, N.A.";
sellerUrl = "http://";
supportedDevices = (
all
);
trackCensoredName = "Citi Velocity";
trackContentRating = "4+";
trackId = 414697122;
trackName = "Citi Velocity";
trackViewUrl = "http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/citi-velocity/id414697122?mt=8&uo=4";
userRatingCount = 5;
userRatingCountForCurrentVersion = 1;
version = "1.4";
wrapperType = software;
}
);
}
然后从中取得 results 数组即可,具体代码如下所示:
NSDictionary *jsonData = [dataPayload JSONValue];
NSArray *infoArray = [jsonData objectForKey:@"results"];
NSDictionary *releaseInfo = [infoArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *latestVersion = [releaseInfo objectForKey:@"version"];
NSString *trackViewUrl = [releaseInfo objectForKey:@"trackViewUrl"];
如果你拷贝 trackViewUrl 的实际地址,然后在浏览器中打开,就会打开你的应用程序在 appstore 中的介绍页面。当然我们也可以在代码中调用 safari 来打开它。
UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
[application openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:trackViewUrl]];
