Question about Info.plist's


  • Subject: Question about Info.plist's

Question:

Is there a way to use a key/value that was defined earlier in the plist file
to define a value for a later key?

Explanation:
I have a macOS project with an automatically created "About" window.
The plist file has, additionally to all the default stuff, the key
CFBuildNumber (with a value that I increment automatically).

In Xcode, I tried to change "Bundle version" to a value like

   $(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION)_$(CFBuildNumber)

However, in the final Info.plist in the app's bundle, this then looks like

    <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
    <string>3.1_</string>

Notice the underscore, but the value of CFBuildNumber is gone.
"3.1", BTW, is the value I have set under

    Project / Targets / General / Identity / Build

I have tried to change parentheses into curly braces, to no avail.

So, question again: is there a way to use a key/value that was defined earlier
in the plist file
to define a value for a later key?
I'd like to do that so that the "About" window contains the build number, too.

Thanks a lot in advance.
