Refer to build number or version number in code

Question

It\'s easy to set the build and version numbers manually in Xcode, and I learned how to increment them with a macro at build time. But how do I reference their values in cod

Answer 1

Since those values are stored in your app's Info.plist you can read then via the methods provided on NSBundle:

NSString * version = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey: CFBundleShortVersionString];

See Accessing bundles contents as the authoritative reference on getting data from your Info.plist file and Core Foundation keys for available Info.plist keys.
