copied!<p>if you are trying to set that value in the Xcode compile build-phase, you may run into trouble, as i don't know that any interpretive operation takes place with the settings you are trying to set up the way you are trying to set them up.</p> <p>for auto-setting the version number, i have a much more complex semi-auto-version and auto-numbering scheme so i don't have to remember to change either, or so i can give a version-number i want but always increment the build number, and in both cases, it will put the build number in the About box in the app-settings that are displayed in the iOS system settings.</p> <p>you may not need much of any of it, but there are a couple of tricks for getting and writing information that you may find useful and may lead to a solution for your problem.</p> <hr> <p>the following scripts were inspired by a stack-overflow answer for how to do this that i can't find at the moment. i put in a bit more work, because (a) i want the version number to show up in the settings displayed in system settings; and (b) Xcode caches the contents of the Info.plist file, so doing this is not nearly as simple as i would have expected.</p> <p>in a build phase that comes before compile, i run the following (with <strong>Run script only when installing</strong> <em>unchecked</em>)</p> <pre><code>sh xolawareStashProductSettings.sh </code></pre> <p>the contents of xolawareStashProductSettings.sh check the git status of the info.plist file, and if not clean, stash it aside temporarily for later restoration.</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh # # should be run prior to the Copy Bundle Resources step # and prior to any version information modifier scripts INFOPLIST_GIT_PATH=${PROJECT}/`basename ${INFOPLIST_FILE}` echo "-- Temp Hold ${INFOPLIST_GIT_PATH} Script --" set -e # a fallback in case the user has made changes to the file if [ `git status --porcelain ${INFOPLIST_GIT_PATH} ]|wc -l` -gt 0 ]; then echo cp -p ${INFOPLIST_GIT_PATH} ${TARGET_TEMP_DIR} cp -p ${INFOPLIST_GIT_PATH} ${TARGET_TEMP_DIR} fi </code></pre> <p>script #2 (with <strong>Run script only when installing</strong> <em>unchecked</em>):</p> <pre><code>sh xolawareStashSettingsBundleRootPlist.sh </code></pre> <p>the contents of xolawareStashSettingsBundleRootPlist.sh are similar to the contents of script 1.</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/sh # # should be run prior to the Copy Bundle Resources step # and prior to any version information modifier scripts echo '-- Temp Hold Settings.bundle/Root.plist Script --' ROOT_PLIST=${PROJECT}/Resources/Settings.bundle/Root.plist set -e # a fallback in case the user has made changes to the file if [ `git status --porcelain ${ROOT_PLIST} ]|wc -l` -gt 0 ];
