Using Ben Clayton's plist https://stackoverflow.com/a/12842530/338986

Add Run script with following snippet after Copy Bundle Resources.

version=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" "$PROJECT_DIR/$INFOPLIST_FILE")
build=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "$PROJECT_DIR/$INFOPLIST_FILE")
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set PreferenceSpecifiers:1:DefaultValue $version ($build)" "$CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH/Settings.bundle/Root.plist"

Appending CFBundleVersion in addition of CFBundleShortVersionString. It emit version like this:

By writing to $CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH/Settings.bundle/Root.plist instead of the one in $SRCROOT have some benefits.

1. It dosen't modify files in working copy of repository.
2. You don't need to case path to Settings.bundle in $SRCROOT. The path may vary.
