Is there a way to get the build number of my IOS or Android app to display in the actual application?

Just to be clear I want to get the build information that was used in building the app that is set in the app settings for each binary type.

Hi Harold - do you mean when building app in Appery.io?

Hello! You can find Version code and Version in settings for Android and Version/Build in settings for iOS. Is that what you need?

What I want to do is use that information and access it from my app to display to the user. This way I know which build they are referring to.

Then you can use the way I suggested above - set Version/Build for Android/iOS app in App Settings-- Android binary/iOS binary.

How do I access that information within my IOS or Android application while it is running? I see not structure in the main javascript file generated for the app that contains that information. I see no phonegap api call to make to retrieve the build information of the app either.

Please provide an example of accessing this information in the application i build and deploy to the end user.

For Android - you can find app version in AndroidManifest.xml, users can see Current Version of app on Google market, after app installed user can check app version in settings - Apps - Manage applications. The same for iOS - you can find more information in the internet. This may help https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

I think the answer is no, since all theses solutions are by hand.
I want my app to display the number on the login page.

I guess there is no way to obtain the build number programmatically.

I will have a build number in a settings variable and coordinate between the two.

thank you for trying to help me out.

I am sure many other users would benefit from version control. The procedure described above seems error prone.

Can Appery please add this little feature ?
