So I've been wrestling with agvtool for a few hours now.
As near as I can tell, agvtool does _something_ (it changes a project
setting named "Current Project Version"), but it seems to have
absolutely no effect on the version strings in "Info.plist" or
"InfoPlist.strings", which are the ones I'm really interested in...
Bug? User error? Wrong tool? Unrealistic expectations? Who knows?

Hi,
according to Eric's posts (which aren't on-line because he sent them to
my address only) you're wrong. The way of using agvtool I was naming
"offline". It means:
a] close the current project
b] go to project directory in Terminal
c] execute agvtool with needed options
Eric responded, that this way is obsolete and now you can use agvtool
in automatic mode while project is open. The only problem is that his
latest reply was:"check agvtool help for more info"
Regards
Robert

I don't understand what you mean about "the various versions scattered
throughout a project." agvtool isn't designed for versioning of
source. It is build specific AFAIK. So when you are preparing a build
(let's say for release) you would use agvtool to increment the build
number and then recompile so that the build number shows up properly
in your about box, in the finder, etc.
The key is that you have to run agvtool while xcode is not running. I
think this was supposed to be fixed but I find if xcode is running,
even if I have closed my project, after running agvtool xcode will
complain that my project has been edited (or changed) outside of the
app. You must also recompile in order for the build numbers to be
reflected in your built app.
As for versioning your source, I think the most common way to do it is
with cvs and it integrates quite nicely with PB and xcode...except for
those nib files. :-(

Has anyone ever seen a tutorial or detailed description of versioning
for Cocoa apps? I'm a little confused about the specific purposes of
the various versions scattered throughout a project, and about the
use of agvtool. Is this one of those things that you just have to
muddle through with the agvtool man page and the information
scattered throughout the ADC documentation, or has somebody put it
all together someplace from where it can be more easily digested?
TIA,
Jeff
