Re: Launch Services and CFBundleVersion



Another possible improvement...

It's "often" true that the creation dates of multiple versions of an application will be consistent with the version order. If Launch Services were to encounter multiple versions that "seem" equivalent (after ignoring unknowns), the date may be useful as a final selector. This could also be useful to applications.

It's true that many instances of CFBundleVersion values do not conform to the requirements of CFBundleGetVersionNumber(). Internally, Launch Services is more flexible in recognition of Info.plist reality. Effectively, LS expects the following format: nnnnn[.nn[.nn]][X] where n is a digit 0-9, square brackets indicate optional components, and X is any string not starting with a digit. X is ignored when present.
