Does anyone know how to get the system install date for OSX? This is done
on the Windows version of an app I am porting, but I am not sure that
information is available on OSX.
I'm not sure what information you want, given the brief description.
In the directory /Library/Receipts are packages which tell you
information about various installed pieces. If you want the date the
system was last updated to a new OS version, that would depend upon
which system updates were installed. If you want the date the
original system install occurred, I would assume the date on the
BaseSystem.pkg would be okay.
I think you may be asking for information which doesn't have the same
importance or sense of meaning on Mac OS X as on Windows. Perhaps you
could explain further? How is this information to be used? What
value is it?
