[iOS] Strange lastModified received from RNFB.fs.stat

[Meshz]

@wkh237 Hello, I'm receiving a strange timestamp for lastModified when using RNFB.fs.stat on a saved file on iOS. Here's the output of the response:

{
    type: 'file',
    filename: '.picture.jpg',
    size: '86766',
    path: '/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/EFB8FD2B-B6E1-4DE6-8EB9-959993D455D6/Documents/AppName/.picture.jpg',
    lastModified: 407828584
}

Any idea what's going on? Thanks for help!

Strange as in because its numerical? Or strange because its not working?
It returns a epoch (unix timestamp), but I assume you already know that.
That is an odd date, I can confirm that I'm also receiving odd timestamps. Even with this fix: 5c20ca6

I mean strange because the returned TS doesn't match the datetime I created the file.
Unless I created it on 1982-12-04 06:43:04 but it's not the case. XD

I thought that was what you meant, but just had to be sure ;D

I can get a timeInterval with the following (which returns the correct timestamp):

NSDate * lastModified = [info fileModificationDate];
NSTimeInterval ti = [lastModified timeIntervalSince1970];

(Although I'm no iOS programmer, so perhaps the code already does this but in a different way?)

I'm then returning the value like this, then multiplying it in the JS by 1000.
[NSNumber numberWithLong:(time_t) ti]

Weirdly when I multiply it by 1000 on the native side it doesn't work out. I'm probably just missing something but it's working for me using the method above. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on it?

Last edit:

The above is kindof a progression through it all, I'm certain the issue arrises from *1000 on the native side. Removing this on the native side and adding it in with JS fixes the problem.

@Slooowpoke I just tried your fix and it is working now. I can't say why the *1000 in native code breaks the TS because I'm not familiar with Objective-C. Do you plan to make a PR or waiting for an enlightenment on the native *1000 problem? Thank you for your help. 👍

Glad it helped! I think I'm going to wait it out for someone who knows more about it, otherwise if I pick up enough Objective-C on the way I'll make one.

I read some stuff on the way about double casting a long (long long) but none of that seemed to yield results, I need to know more Objective-C syntax as well. >.<

If we leave this open someone ought to pick up and know a fix right?
