If you are just looking to increment a simple build number, I'd
strongly encourage you to look at the agvtool tool provided as part
of Xcode Tools (man agvtool). This provides a convenient way to
easily version different builds of you application without having
to manually edit your Info.plist.
I just looked at this (I read Chris Hanson's blog since the man page
wasn't clear enough for me). I think it's a bit silly. Why should I
have to quite Xcode just to increment the build number? Any time I
build my "Release" configuration, I simply want the build number to
increase. I don't see why it should be any more complicated than
that (at least in my situation), so I created that simple build
script. Xcode doesn't like it though.
Historically, agvtool evolved in an environment where you only wanted
to update the build version when making an explicit submission of your
project sources to a larger external build system.
Feel free to file an enhancement request that the functionality of
agvtool should be available from within Xcode (I know I've done so in
the past) :)
