Question

In my app I am using the agvtool to update the build number. I would now like to have the version of my app that appears in the settings to display this number and have it update automatically.

I have seen a few apps work around this by writing a script to ready the value and populate the value then in the root.plist. I was wondering if there is a more elegant way of doing this.

Answer 1
