I got this Info.plist file, but the Finder doesn't report my app's version :(

Instead of saying "Version: 1.1" it doesn't even list the version field :(

Any idea anyone? In case anyone wants to see the Info.plist file, it is here:

The trouble all started when I changed my executable name. Before then the version number did show up! But as far as I'm aware the name does match. When I added the string "XXXX" (actually it's a different string but just pretend it's XXXX)... then the Info.plist file didn't work.

I did make sure that the executable name on disk does match with the name in the plist. The names all match, yet it doesn't read.

Thoughts:

- I don't see either of the normal version info strings CFBundleGetInfoString or CFBundleShortVersionString.

- Just to be sure, the value of CFBundleExecutable matches the name of the executable in the MacOS folder, right?

- If you changed something inside the bundle you may need to force Launch Services to update its information for the updated bundle.

I must be missing something, right?
