Re: Versions



For an open source project, I wrote a quick program which is run as the last step in the project builder tasks. All it does is replace the string "VERSION" in the Info.plist with the appropriate string from the include file version.h. I haven't ported it to xcode yet, but I don't anticipate many changes. I took the simple method and just replaced strings. A better method would be to actually parse the XML and replace the appropriate entries.

For Info.plist's at least you can use build variables. Just put
$(MY_BUILD_VARIABLE) wherever you want it throughout the plist file and
then have that variable defined when you build. This could be
specified in each target's build settings or passed to xcodebuild like:


	xcodebuild -buildstyle Deployment build MY_BUILD_VARIABLE="1.0"

You could have a separate build variable for the copyright year, etc.

OK, I added the variable to my build style. It correctly shows up in places that take just the variable. But I can't get it into the middle of a string, such as in my InfoPList.strings:

CFBundleGetInfoString = "Image Chest version $(MY_APP_VERSION),
Copyright 2004 Armpit Studios.";

I tried using rez syntax too:

CFBundleGetInfoString = "Image Chest version "$(MY_APP_VERSION)",
Copyright 2004 Armpit Studios.";

Any idears?
