How to read plist information (bundle id) from a shell script

Question

I\'d like to write a script that can read info like Bundle Identifier or maybe version number from the Info.plist of the app. Xcode doesn\'t seem to give that information in

Answer 1

Using PlistBuddy, an app by Apple it is possible to assign the string to var like this:

#!/bin/sh   
BUNDLE_ID=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "${BUILD_ROOT}/${INFOPLIST_PATH}")

Where BUILD_ROOT and INFOPLIST_PATH are variables set by Xcode if you run this script in a "Run Script" build phase.
