When scraping apps that use Android App Bundles (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram), the scraper returns:
- version: "VARY"
- androidVersionText: "Varies with device"
- androidVersion: "VARY"
- androidMaxVersion: "VARY"
This happens because the web interface shows "Varies with device" for these apps instead of actual version numbers.
Current Behavior
gplay.app({ appId: 'com.whatsapp' })
.then(result => {
console.log(result.version); // "VARY"
console.log(result.androidVersionText); // "Varies with device"
});
Expected Behavior
Get the actual version number for a specific device configuration, similar to what the official Play Store Android app shows.
- Is there a way to pass device-specific parameters (Android version, device model, etc.) to get actual version numbers?
- Would it be possible to add an option to simulate a specific Android device to retrieve device-specific data?
thank you so so much!
