Info returned by $gplay->getAppInfo($appId) has 'released' => NULL property

GrinOleksandr commented 4 years ago

example: $gplay->getAppInfo("com.Hawi.SkyDream");

what are the possible reasons for that? does app can have not release date?

ahha, I've got it. Looks like results of that response also is related to country

For which country and locale does it return null?

$appInfos = $gplay->getAppInfoForAvailableLocales('com.Hawi.SkyDream');
foreach ($appInfos as $locale => $appInfo) {
    echo $locale . ' => ' . $appInfo->getReleased()->format('Y-m-d') . PHP_EOL;
}
// vi => 2020-06-22
// hy_AM => 2020-06-22
// ko_KR => 2020-06-22

that results was for country "ua" and locale "en_US" , but now it is not null

I came back to work and found more examples, this is only few of them I used the code provided by you in this issue, but except "format" because it throws error when trying to use on null

$appInfos = $gplay->getAppInfoForAvailableLocales('com.nexon.v4gb'); foreach ($appInfos as $locale => $appInfo) { echo $locale . ' => ' . $appInfo->getReleased() . PHP_EOL; }

// en_US => // de_DE => // fr_FR => // hy_AM => // ko_KR => // ru_RU => // th => // zh_CN =>

the same results for: com.blizzard.diablo.immortal com.byaliens.bid.wars.stars.multiplayer.auction.battles com.mojang.minecrafttrialpe

and a lot more However I see that this is a temporary issue, maybe it is related to google play services

Release data not provided, which means the release date is null.
