I have gotten this to work with some contortion of preprocessor
magic, but there's a much easier way. Just add "-traditional" to
INFOPLIST_OTHER_PREPROCESSOR_FLAGS. Then you should be able to just
do:
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>kMajor.kMinor.kBugFix</string>
That doesn't quite do it either. I have a prefix file being included
that defines:
#if BETA_OR_DEBUG_BUILD == 1
#define kAppVersion kMajor.kMinor.kBugFix#b##kBuild
#else
#define kAppVersion kMajor.kMinor.kBugFix
#endif
kAppVersion is then used in multiple places. What gets generated is
this:
#define kAppVersion 8.0.0#b##50
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://
www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
<string>English</string>
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
//<string>MY_PRODUCT_NAME</string>
<string>MultiAd Creator Pro DB</string>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>Creator</string>
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
<string>AppIcon</string>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.multiad.creator</string>
<key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
<string>6.0</string>
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
<string>APPL</string>
<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>Crtr</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
//<string>8.0b50</string>
<string>kAppVersion</string>
snip
Notice that the definition gets written to the file and it doesn't
replace kAppVersion at the end of the pasted portion. But also notice
that the version number 8.0b50 in the *commented out* line is defined
in the prefix file as:
#define kCreatorWholeVersion 8.0b50
And the Info.plist source file has that line as:
//<string>kCreatorWholeVersion</string>
So something is very much whacked with this whole Info.plist compiler/
preprocessor. This part was added recently to work around all the
problems with preprocessing this stuff, as was the commented out
MY_PRODUCT_NAME line. I'll just have to keep using my workaround
until Apple makes this right.
