How to read the Bundle version from PList?

Question

Is there a way to read the plist file associated with the application, I want to pull the value for the Bundle version.

Answer 1

See Getting Data Bundles Info.plist .

[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:(NSString *)kCFBundleVersionKey]; 

should provide you the package version.

Answer 2

In Swift, you can use:

 let bundleVersion = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKeykCFBundleVersionKey as String) as! String 

or:

 let bundleVersion = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?[kCFBundleVersionKey as String] as! String 

If you need a short string version string, you can use:

 let shortBundleVersion = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey:"CFBundleShortVersionString") as! String 

Answer 3

 #define APP_VERSION [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:(NSString*)kCFBundleVersionKey]
