The program has to get the latest version of the OS ie; apple or android from the web. This program is essentially to build a microservice which will allow the users to update their OS.

What I have tried:

I found the code for displaying the current version but I could not find anything on how to show the latest version.

That's going to be very complicated, particularly with android devices, as not all devices can - or do - support the latest versions. And when you add in that legal restrictions prevent some makes from updating (cf Huawei / Google) and some countries from any access at all from time to time and you have a minefield of a project.

To add to that, there is no "one web page" this accurately lists any of this information other than Wiki: Android version history - Wikipedia[^] and that being user maintained is liable to delay and inaccuracy and the problem doesn't get any better.

A site scrape of iOS version by device — iOS Ref[^] might help with the iOS side, but even then you are at the mercy of unknown parties and their site design changes...

Good luck - I think you are going to need it!
