Is PurchaseDate of AppReceipt in UTC or local time?

In UWP Windows 10 apps, we can get the purchase date of the app or an add-on. (Documenation here)

var receipt = await CurrentApp.GetAppReceiptAsync();

But no were it's mentioned the date is in UTC or local user time! Thanks.

Solution

  • If you take a look at the receipt you will see that the date has 'Z' at the end:

    PurchaseDate="2015-12-14T19:37:05.692Z"

    This means that it's UTC time. Some references: one, two.
