Xcode 4 Archive Version Unspecified

Question

I'm trying to build a release version of my iPhone app in Xcode 4 and when it finishes and launches Organizer, there is no version number, it only says "unspecified". This is preventing me from using Xcode 4's Validate and Submit features.

Any ideas on how to fix this? My version number is set in my project settings, so not sure what's causing the problem.

Answer 1

Go to your info.plist file and create a new property "bundle versions string, short" and provide the same version number and it will show up in organizer.

Answer 2

Please see this question for additional detail.

The accepted answer doesn't fully solve the problem for all projects. There are several issues that all relate to each other and I will cover them all.
