SUStandardVersionComparator

Objective-C

@interface SUStandardVersionComparator : NSObject <SUVersionComparison>

Swift

class SUStandardVersionComparator : NSObject, SUVersionComparison

Sparkle’s default version comparator.

This comparator is adapted from MacPAD, by Kevin Ballard. It’s “dumb” in that it does essentially string comparison, in components split by character type.

-init
Initializes a new instance of the standard version comparator.
Declaration
Objective-C

- (nonnull instancetype)init;
Swift

init()


                      
                      
                      defaultComparator

A singleton instance of the comparator.

Declaration

Objective-C

@property (class, nonatomic, readonly) SUStandardVersionComparator *_Nonnull defaultComparator;

Swift

class var `default`: SUStandardVersionComparator { get }


                      
                      
                      -compareVersion:toVersion:

Compares two version strings through textual analysis.

These version strings should be in the format of x, x.y, or x.y.z where each component is a number. For example, valid version strings include “1.5.3”, “500”, or “4000.1” These versions that are compared correspond to the CFBundleVersion values of the updates.

Declaration

Objective-C

- (NSComparisonResult)compareVersion:(nonnull NSString *)versionA
                           toVersion:(nonnull NSString *)versionB;

Swift

func compareVersion(_ versionA: String, toVersion versionB: String) -> ComparisonResult

Parameters

`versionA`	The first version string to compare.
`versionB`	The second version string to compare.

Return Value

A comparison result between versionA and versionB
