Read version from Info.plist

Question

I want to read the bundle version info from Info.plist into my code, preferably as a string. How can I do this?

Answer 1

I know that some time has passed since the quest and the answer.

Since iOS8 the accepted answer might not work.

This is the new way to do it now:

NSString *version = (__bridge id)CFBundleGetValueForInfoDictionaryKey(CFBundleGetMainBundle(), kCFBundleVersionKey);
