How to get IOS app build version

Version/build fields for an iOS app include: “Version” CFBundleShortVersionString (String – iOS, OS X) specifies the release version number of the bundle, which identifies a released iteration of the app. The release version number is a string comprised of three period-separated integers.

Objective-C

NSString *build = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@”CFBundleVersion”];

NSString *version = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@”CFBundleShortVersionString”];

NSString appName = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:(NSString)kCFBundleNameKey];

NSString *deviceModel = [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSString *iOSVersion = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];

Swift

let versionNumber = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey(“CFBundleShortVersionString”) as! String

let buildNumber = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey(“CFBundleVersion”) as! String

Swift 3

let versionNumber = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: “CFBundleShortVersionString”) as! String
let buildNumber = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: “CFBundleVersion”) as! String

Swift 2

let versionNumber = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey(“CFBundleShortVersionString”) as! String
let buildNumber = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey(“CFBundleVersion”) as! String

Swift 5

There are two things – App version and build version

To get App version:

if let appVersion = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?[“CFBundleShortVersionString”] as? String {
// present appVersion
}

To get Build version:

if let buildVersion = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?[“CFBundleVersion”] as? String {
// present buildVersion
}

CFBundleShortVersionString

“Version” CFBundleShortVersionString (String – iOS, OS X) specifies the release version number of the bundle, which identifies a released iteration of the app. The release version number is a string comprised of three period-separated integers.

CFBundleVersion

“Build” CFBundleVersion (String – iOS, OS X) specifies the build version number of the bundle, which identifies an iteration (released or unreleased) of the bundle. The build version number should be a string comprised of three non-negative, period-separated integers with the first integer being greater than zero. The string should only contain numeric (0-9) and period (.) characters. Leading zeros are truncated from each integer and will be ignored (that is, 1.02.3 is equivalent to 1.2.3). This key is not localizable.

Happy Coding!
