Where does the Finder get its "version" string when doing a Get Info?
It doesn't match either of the
<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
or
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
key values that I've set. This is for a bundled 10.3.8 XCode 1.5 built app. I've deleted the "build" folder and completely rebuilt the app, so (I assume) that the Finder shouldn't be grabbing any old info…
<mantra> It's not the Finder, it's LaunchServices... </mantra>
LaunchServices
does cache bundle attributes of applications it's seen. Specifically, LS doesn't update apps that sit in place, and it knows little or nothing about apps being built by the development environment. It primarily learns about applications when they're installed, launched, or dragged from place to place.
I usually have to blow away the LaunchServices cache in order to get app versions, icons, etc. to update. Just my experience,
That said, your app's Info.plist is indeed where these are set.
