[feature request] Add "Date added" for apps from stores
Some of us might be interested in knowing the date when a specific app/ipa has been released/published.
I like that you added the version in the recent version but it would be nice-to-have the publish date as well.
Sadly its hard to determine this as for some reason a lot of repositories handle dates differently, same with application sizes.
I see, from whatI can see after checking some of the repos I've added, it seems that they mostly use "versionDate" or "date" for this.
It shouldn't be too hard to implement a parsing algorithm to check whether these properties exist. If not able to, we can hide the date label in our visual component. I might even be able to implement this myself even though I've 0 experience in programming iOS stuff.
but basically:
-
make a global set containing each of the possible properties (date, versionDate, ..)
-
create a parseDate function which:
-
Extract all json data from app
-
check if object contains one of the properties in our global set
-
if found, use that to parse data to Date object
-
if not found, hide Date from UI
This must cover most of the important things. Let me know if I can be of any help.
