如何检查应用程序的版本并请求用户更新？

Question

如何检查用户是否拥有我的应用程序的当前版本，并弹出一条消息以请求他们更新其应用程序版本？

就像您在下面看到的那样。

Answer 1

您的服务器上需要有一个 WebService（或类似的东西），您的应用程序在启动时会请求该 WebService，以了解哪个是可用的最新版本。 （如果您还没有 WS 并且确实不想为此实现一个 WS，您也可以简单地使用也包含该版本的 XML 或文本文件）

然后将从服务器检索到的此版本与当前版本进行比较应用程序的，使用 [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleVersion"]。

如果它们不同，您可以显示警报视图并重定向到 itms-apps://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftwareUpdate?id=[APPID]&mt=8（将 APPID 替换为您的 iTunes Connect 应用 ID），该链接将使您的 iPhone 直接在应用程序的更新页面上打开 AppStore 应用程序

Answer 2

要检查您是否拥有最新版本，只需使用以下查询在 iTunes 中查询应用程序数据（注意：更改 ID 以匹配来自 iTunesConnect 的应用程序 ID）：

http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=520604518

这会返回一个 JSON 字典，非常简单要转换为 NSDictionary 以直接在代码中使用，那么您需要做的就是提取“version”键的值并将其与您的应用程序版本号进行比较（请参阅下面粗体显示的版本键/值）：

以下是一些代码来完成这个任务。 -rh
