How to read the Bundle version from PList?

Question

Is there a way to read the app's bundled plist file, I am wanting to pull the value for Bundle version.

Answer 1

See Getting the Bundle’s Info.plist Data.

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

should get you the bundle 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 want the short bundle versions string, you can use:

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