How to read current app version in Xcode 11 with script

Question

Until Xcode 11, I used a script that reads the current app version (for the AppStore) and help me change the LaunchScreen since we can\'t use swift for that

Answer 1

I'm developing a framework with this scenario:

• A workspace
• A framework target
• An aggregate target with 2 external scripts:
  • one for build a fat framework
  • other for prepare the release framework

The key is that in XCode 11 the aggregate framework script doesn't get run environment variables for other workspace targets so it's impossible to read the $MARKETING_VERSION from my framework target.

So the solution that works for me has been use PlistBuddy specifying the Info.plist result of the framework target build in this way:

FAT_FRAMEWORK="${SRCROOT}/build/${FRAMEWORK_NAME}.framework"
BUILD_NUMBER=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "${FAT_FRAMEWORK}/Info.plist")
VERSION_NUMBER=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" "${FAT_FRAMEWORK}/Info.plist")
