Some fields are missing in response like versionCode, versionString, permission etc.
Also, there is upload date discrepancy for some apps. The date which display on google play store and which we received in response is different.(e.g 'com.facebook.katana' application Play store date:Dec 17, 2015 And Service response date:Dec 14, 2015)
Currently, I am using googleplaycrawler-0.3.jar to get app details from play store. Can you please help me to resolve this issue.
