How to get build and version number of Flutter app

Question

I am currently developing an application which is currently in beta mode. Due to this, I would like to show them what version they are on. For example, \"v1.0b10 - iOS\". So

Answer 1

You can use package_info.

The versions are extracted from:

Android:

build.gradle, versionCode and versionName

iOS:

Info.plist, CFBundleVersion

Usage

Add the dependency

1. Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  package_info: ^0.4.0+16

2. Import the file into your dart file:

import 'package:package_info/package_info.dart';

3. if your method is marked as async:

PackageInfo packageInfo = await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();

String appName = packageInfo.appName;
String packageName = packageInfo.packageName;
String version = packageInfo.version;
String buildNumber = packageInfo.buildNumber;

If you don't want to use await/async:

PackageInfo.fromPlatform().then((PackageInfo packageInfo) {
  String appName = packageInfo.appName;
  String packageName = packageInfo.packageName;
  String version = packageInfo.version;
  String buildNumber = packageInfo.buildNumber;
});
