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.
There is a short and long version string in the info.plist, there is a
version number for each target, there is a "current project version" in
the build styles. I am not concerned with source versioning, as CVS
takes care of that, but I am currently keeping all this various version
information in sync manually, and I'm sure there's a better way.
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.
That is very helpful, and very likely my problem. I keep getting errors
when I try to have it tag a release. I'll play around with it some more
and see if that was my issue. Thanks.
