I know that it's possible to get the current version of the application. So my question is - is it possible to get the release date?
Let's say I uploaded my release to AppStore and it became live on 03/22/2025 at 5:00 PM. Is it possible to get this information at runtime?
Hi, is it possible to implement something like this in B4i, or is there already something comparable? I didn't find anything in any case. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16899503/check-if-my-ios-application-is-updated

Have a look at my example project and get the currentVersionReleaseDate
B4X:
Dim j As HttpJob
j.Initialize("", Me)
j.Download("http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=6478831936")
Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
If j.Success Then
Dim parser As JSONParser
parser.Initialize(j.GetString)
Dim jRoot As Map = parser.NextObject
Dim results As List = jRoot.Get("results")
For Each colresults As Map In results
xlbl_AppName.Text = colresults.Get("trackName") & " V" & colresults.Get("version")
xlbl_AppDescription.Text = colresults.Get("description")
Log(colresults.Get("currentVersionReleaseDate"))
Next
End If
j.Release

Apple doesn't store this information in the package. The only thing you can do is read when the .plist file was last edited, but that's the date the package was built, not the date it was published to the App Store.
