Installs nativescript hooks to maintain native app version (AndroidManifest.xml and Info.plist)

Nativescript hook plugin to maintain native app version

This plugin takes the version and versionNumber properties from package.json and puts on the specific platform resources: AndroidManifest.xml file for the Android sources, and Info.plist for iOS sources.

This plugin is mainly a fork of jacargentina/nativescript-dev-version, with the great ideas from speigg/nativescript-dev-version and simplec-dev/nativescript-dev-version.

Compatible with NS 7+.

How to use

$ tns plugin add nativescript-dev-version

The above command installs this module and installs the necessary NativeScript hooks.

Then, specify and maintain the desired release version on the ./package.json file under the nativescript.version property, for example:

{
  "nativescript": {
    "id": "org.nativescript.MySampleApp",
    "version": "1.2.3",
    "versionNumber": "1"
    ...
  },
  ...
}

or:

{
  "version": "1.2.3",
  "versionNumber": "1"
  ...
}

When running tns prepare ... the hooks will take care of the native resources.

Warning Remove/comment the lines in your App_Resources/Android/app.gradle:

    // Version Information
    // versionCode 1
    // versionName "1.0.0"

On iOS, your Info.plist will get:

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.2.3</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1</string>

On Android, AndroidManifest.xml will have:

<manifest
  (...) android:versionCode="10203001" android:versionName="1.2.3"
