Better way of incrementing build number?

Xcode proj

Answer 1

Xcode includes the command line tool agvtool to increase version numbers. So you don't have to do everything manually with PListBuddy.

xcrun agvtool next-version -all

increases your build number.

xcrun agvtool new-marketing-version 2.0

sets a new user visible version number.

See the full documentation for details.
