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 6.

$ 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",
    "buildVersion": {
      "ios": {
        "version": "1.2.3",
        "versionNumber": "1"
      },
      "android": {
        "version": "1.2.3",
        "versionNumber": "1"
      },
    },
    ...
  },
  ...
}

or:

{
  "buildVersion": {
    "ios": {
      "version": "1.2.3",
      "versionNumber": "1"
    },
    "android": {
      "version": "1.2.3",
      "versionNumber": "10203001"
    }
  },
  ...
}

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

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"
