首先,自问自答:
问:为什么不使用APP ID呢?
答:APP ID没有保存在 -info.plist 文件,不方便嘛。Bundle ID 保存在 -info.plist文件。
我要做通用性的功能,所以,查找时,以Bundle ID做搜索条件。
下面,搜索APP信息:
(1 ) 这是很重要的:
(千万要注意:下面的bundleId必须写成bundleId,不能写成 bundleid或者bundleID)
https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=你APP的Bundle ID
(你也可以用http,不用https, 但是貌似最近http经常获取不到)
(2) 如果找到了,返回json格式的数据:
比如:
{ "resultCount":1, "results": [ {"kind":"software", "features":[], "supportedDevices":["iPhone5s", "iPhone4", "iPadFourthGen", "iPadWifi", "iPadFourthGen4G", "iPodTouchourthGen", "iPad2Wifi", "iPhone4S", "iPadMini4G", "iPhone-3GS", "iPhone5", "iPodTouchFifthGen", "iPhone5c", "iPad3G", "iPadThirdGen4G", "iPadMini", "iPodTouchThirdGen", "iPadThirdGen", "iPad23G"], "isGameCenterEnabled":false, "screenshotUrls":["http://a2.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Purple6/v4/65/d9/f4/65d9f4c8-83aa-aedc-7d33-17bfcd95f329/screen1136x1136.jpeg"], "ipadScreenshotUrls":[], "artworkUrl60":"http://a637.phobos.apple.com/us/r30/Purple/v4/f9/c6/d2/f9c6d227-bab9-3008-88b6-ea74e48510a7/57.png", "artworkUrl512":"http://a157.phobos.apple.com/us/r30/Purple4/v4/c7/77/dd/c777dd5f-a1c2-e0fa-6a6f-1c4e3db98c12/mzl.tqbteywq.png", "artistViewUrl":"https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/shenzhen-reecam-tech.-ltd./id479468962?uo=4", "artistId":479468962, "artistName":"Shenzhen Reecam Tech.

版本号:找到那个"version",它的值就是版本号
URL:找到那个“trackViewUrl", 它的值就是介绍这个APP的链接网址
你可以对比本地APP的版本号和APP Store上发布的版本号,如果有新版本,可以提示用户要更新...
(3)如果没找到:
{
"resultCount":0,
"results": []
}
(4)这里顺便告诉大家用 JSONKit 取出版本号,
//注意:这里是示例,用阻塞操作,不考虑异常情况
//下面读取的是本地APP的Bundle ID:
NSString* bundleID = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey: (NSString*) kCFBundleIdentifierKey];
NSString* strURL = [ NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=%@",bundleID ];
NSData* data = [ NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[ NSURL URLWithString: strURL ]];
NSDictionary* dic = [data objectFromJSONData ];
NSArray* resultArray = [ dic objectForKey:@"results"];
NSDictionary* subDict = [resultArray objectAtIndex: 0 ];
NSString* strVersion = [subDict objectForKey: @"version"];
这个strVersion就是版本号啦
