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
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
NSString *urlStr =@"http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=你的应用程序名称&entity=software";
NSString * urlString = [urlStr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[manager POST:urlString parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSArray *array = responseObject[@"results"];
NSDictionary *dict = [array lastObject];
NSLog(@"当前版本为:%@", dict[@"version"]);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"版本获取失败");
}];
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";

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]];
