Question

I’m trying to set the Application version for my MonoTouch project, but it doesn’t seem like I have found the right location.

I’ve tried setting the version to 2.0.0 under:

• the Solution>General>Main Settings>Version field

• the Project>General>Main Settings>Version field (which can inherit from the solution)

• the Info.plist>iOS Application Target>Version field

If I check the version using

 string currentVersion = NSBundle.MainBundle.InfoDictionary["CFBundleVersion"].ToString();

I only ever get back 1.0 as the version. Am I missing a place to set the application version, or do I need to use a different method for checking the BundleVersion?

Here is the version info I am running

MonoDevelop 3.0.5

Monotouch: 6.0.6 (Evaluation)

Doing the same change in my own Info.plist file works perfectly with the code you provided, i.e. I do get the expected 2.0.0 string. I also tried it inside the iOS simulator since you’re using the evaluation version.

I do have newer versions of the softwares – but they are not very different and I do not recall anything changed in those area.

Can you look (and maybe add it in your question) the content of your Info.plist ? it should be an XML file (default format used by MonoDevelop) and should have your 2.0.0 string inside it.

If that does not work please zip a small sample that do so and attach it to a bug report as there might be something that does not, always, get updated ?!?
