iOS Properties tab Should Correctly Request/Validate Version and Build Numbers.
Please, provide the details below:
SideKick has app version and build version backwards. Also, it incorrectly validates for a build.
Did you verify whether this issue has already been reported here?
_Yes
Tell us about the problem
Basically, we want to differentiate iOS build from versions (a new build requires no AppStore review for testing, but a new version does).
SideKick gets this wrong in two ways:
-
It has them backwards. Apple's use of CFBundleShortVersionString vs CFBundleVersion is explained here. (Note that accepted answer does not fully explain Apple's use/validation algorith. Read downward.) The former is the "version" number, the latter the "build" number. SideKick reverses these.
-
It does not validate the build correctly. Currently both fields require a X.X.X format. However, if you manually change (in Info.plist) CFBundleVersion to something like 0.5.5.1, Apple will accept it. (And allow testing without a new review).
Which platform(s) does the issue occur on?
_iOS
_Windows
Provide the following version numbers that the issue occurs with:
- NativeScript Sidekick: 1.19.2 and earlier
- NativeScript CLI:
- CLI extension nativescript-cloud:
- CLI extension nativescript-starter-kits:
How to obtain this information is explained in the Gather information about your development environment section.
Tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible
- Change CFBundleVersion in Info.Plist tosomething like 1.2.2.1 or N1234
- Start the application ..
- Click 'Properties' tab, then 'iOS'.
- Observe where the change shows up.
- Change to 1.2.2.2 and note that it is not accepted, tho Apple will accept that.
Does this issue happen every time?
_Yes
