iOS获取App Store的上架信息（包括版本号）并实现检查更新

由于iOS app不允许检查更新，凡是app在上架审核时出现“检查更新”字样的都有可能被打回，而检查更新功能是产品经理最念念不忘的重要功能（内心一万个草泥马。。。），作为攻城狮的我们自然要想方设法实现这一功能。

既然ios在审核时不允许检查更新，那我们何不抓住审核漏洞，也即在审核时不出现检查更新而在实际使用时出现呢。答案就是获取当前app在App Store上的版本信息，并将此版本号与提交审核的app作对比，由于App Store上的版本号必然低于每次提交审核（新版本）的版本号，那么app在审核过程中不可能出现“检查更新”字样，此时用户在使用比App Store上的版本低的app时则相应会提示有新版本更新，并让用户选择跳转App Store进行更新。那么废话不多说，上代码：

-

 (void)requestLookup {
    [YTHttpTool POST:YTSystemToolAppStoreLookupURL params:@{@"id": kAppStoreId} success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {
        NSArray *resultArr = responseObject[@"results"];
        NSDictionary *resultDic = resultArr.firstObject;
        NSString *appCurrentVersion = [YTSystemTool getAppVersion];
        NSString *appStoreVersion = resultDic[@"version"];
        if ([appCurrentVersion compare:appStoreVersion options:NSNumericSearch] == NSOrderedAscending) {
            UINavigationController *rootNC = (UINavigationController *)self.window.rootViewController;
            UIViewController *rootVC = rootNC.viewControllers.firstObject;
            [YTAlertTool alertTwoActionWithVC:rootVC title:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"您有新版本更新(%@)", appStoreVersion] message:@"" cancelTitle:@"我再看看" cancelHandler:nil defaultTitle:@"现在更新" defaultHandler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
                [YTSystemTool jumpToAppStoreApp];
            } completion:nil];
        }
    } fail:nil];
}

该段代码是写在APPDelegate.m文件中用于检查更新的私有方法，YTHttpTool类是我封装的网络请求类，YTAlertTool是我封装的提示框类，YTSystemTool是我封装的各种系统工具类，此处使用的跳转App Store的工具方法，但是重点在于YTSystemToolAppStoreLookupURL和kAppStoreId这两个常量。YTSystemToolAppStoreLookupURL是请求查询app在App Store的上架信息，固定为@”https://itunes.apple.com/lookup“，官方文档说明。需要注意的是旧版本的请求网址是@”http://itunes.apple.com/lookup“，自从苹果在iOS 10后使用了https协议，网址便改成了https，以前那些类似的博客均为http；kAppStoreId为app上架App Store时分配每个app的id，例如我的上架app是@”1197227551”，获取方法见下图：

触摸板右键选择“拷贝链接”得到当前app在App Store上的完整网址，如我的是：https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/众驾租车/id1197227551?mt=8，截取其中的id即可。至此，调用查询请求的完整URL(POST请求)为https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1197227551，请求url后台打印结果如下：

version = “1.0.9”;
wrapperType = software;
}
);
}

截取其中字段”version“即获取当前在App Store的版本号。

下面介绍获取当前app提交审核的版本号，在YTSystemTool.m文件中的代码如下：

+ (NSString *)getAppVersion {
    NSDictionary *infoDic = [[NSBundle mainBundle]infoDictionary];
    NSString *appCurVersion = [infoDic objectForKey:kAppCurrentVersion];
    return appCurVersion;
}

其中kAppCurrentVersion表示info.plist文件中版本号的字段名，为固定常量@”CFBundleShortVersionString”

获取后将两个版本号进行比较，比较过程调用了系统NSString的API：- (NSComparisonResult)compare:(NSString *)string options:(NSStringCompareOptions)mask，该方法可以比较任意版本号的大小，方法返回比较结果枚举NSComparisonResult。

比较完成后弹出版本更新提示框，如下图：

接下来介绍更新跳转的代码实现：同样是在YTSystemTool.m文件中，代码如下：

+ (void)jumpToAppStoreApp {
    NSString *appStoreURLStr = kAppStoreURLString;
    NSURL *appStoreURL = [NSURL URLWithString:appStoreURLStr];
    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication]canOpenURL:appStoreURL]) {
        if ([UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion.doubleValue >= 10.0) {
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appStoreURL options:@{UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsAnnotationKey: @"YES"} completionHandler:nil];
        } else {
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appStoreURL];
        }
    }
}

其中kAppStoreURLString表示App Store应用间通信的URL字符串常量，这里为@”itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zhong-jia-zu-che/id1197227551?mt=8”，打开iTunes应用，搜索当前app获取方法如下图：

点击上图中的尖尖号，并在弹出的视图中选择Copy Link，如图：

我获取到的URL为 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/%E4%BC%97%E9%A9%BE%E7%A7%9F%E8%BD%A6/id1197227551?mt=8，此时将“https”替换为“itms-apps”即可实现跳转。
