Getting Started

This project is a fastlane plugin. To get started with fastlane-plugin-versioning, add it to your project by running:

fastlane add_plugin versioning

About versioning

Extends fastlane versioning actions. Allows to set/get versions without using agvtool and do some other small tricks. Note that all schemes that you pass to actions like increment_version_number_in_plist, increment_build_number_in_xcodeproj or get_info_plist_path in scheme parameter must be shared. To make your scheme shared go to "Manage schemes" in Xcode and tick "Shared" checkbox near your scheme.

what is this plist_build_setting_support stuff about?!

If you have a xcodeproject and have updated to Xcode 11, you'll notice that if you change your build and version numbers through the UI, the actual numbers are now stored inside build settings inside build confiugration. The Info.plist file -- where they used to be stored -- now contains build setting variables (looks like $(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION) or $(MARKETING_VERSION), for build number and version number respectively). If you are at this migration 'turning point', you have two options. you can either:

  • Continue using the legacy method of inserting build and versions directly into plists by simply add plist_build_setting_support: true to your plist action parameters

OR

  • Change the command to be the xcodeproj variants - i.e. increment_version_number_in_xcodeproj or increment_build_number_in_xcodeproj these also apply to the getters of build and version numbers.
Warning for those migrating

Verify your plist files are using the build variables (new) $(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION) or $(MARKETING_VERSION). You can force this migration by simply modifying Version/Build fields for each one of your targets in UI. If you forget to make this change, or something else is writing and replacing it, xcodeproj actions will successfully update, but your build will have no reference to those values essentially becoming NOOP

We will leave the plist actions in, as for those consumers who are limited to their upgrade path.

Actions

increment_version_number_in_plist

Increment/set the version number in a Info.plist of specific target. Doesn't use agvtool (unlike default increment_version_number).

increment_version_number_in_plist # Automatically increment patch version number.
increment_version_number_in_plist(
  bump_type: 'patch' # Automatically increment patch version number
)
increment_version_number_in_plist(
  bump_type: 'minor' # Automatically increment minor version number
)
increment_version_number_in_plist(
  bump_type: 'minor',
  omit_zero_patch_version: true # if true omits zero in patch version(so 42.10.0 will become 42.10 and 42.10.1 will remain 42.10.1), default is false
)
increment_version_number_in_plist(
  bump_type: 'major' # Automatically increment major version number
)
increment_version_number_in_plist(
  version_number: '2.1.1' # Set a specific version number
)
increment_version_number_in_plist(
  # Automatically increment patch version number. Use App Store version number as a source.
  version_source: 'appstore'
)
increment_version_number_in_plist(
  # Automatically increment patch version number. Use App Store version number as a source.
  version_source: 'appstore',
  # optional two letter country code: 
  # specify if availability of your app is limited to a certain country
  country: 'at'
)

increment_version_number_in_plist(
  # specify specific version number (optional, omitting it increments patch version number)
  version_number: '2.1.1',   
  # (optional, you must specify the path to your main Xcode project if it is not in the project root directory
  # or if you have multiple xcodeproj's in the root directory)
  xcodeproj: './path/to/MyApp.xcodeproj'  
  # (optional)
  target: 'TestTarget' # or `scheme`
)

increment_version_number_in_plist(
  # specify specific version number (optional, omitting it increments patch version number)
  version_number: '2.1.1',   
  # (optional, you must specify the path to your main Xcode project if it is not in the project root directory
  # or if you have multiple xcodeproj's in the root directory)
  xcodeproj: './path/to/MyApp.xcodeproj'  
  # (optional)
  target: 'TestTarget' # or `scheme`
  plist_build_setting_support: true, # optional, and defaulting to false.
  # setting this will resolve the version number using the relevant build settings from your xcodeproj.
)

Issues and Feedback

SwiftPM

SwiftPM can be tedious when using this plugin, at least in terms of git history and xcodeprojs. Up until recently, there were a number of annoyances caused by this plugin (and a downstream dependency of it) because writing to a project file would clobber some of the comment metadata inside of the project file and replace them - leaving you with the actual version change, but a number of other, less desirable changes too to hand pick through (or give up this plugin for). The advice is, update to >= 0.4.6 of this plugin, and follow this advice - which is to make sure not to include the .git at the end of your SwiftPM dependency URLs.

New / Fresh projects

Note that you will need to set the build and version numbers through Xcode's UI at least once to use this plugin without weird nil:NilClass issues. See this issue for context

For any other issues and feedback about this plugin, please submit it to this repository.
