How to read current app version in Xcode 11 with script

Until Xcode 11, I used a script that reads the current app version (for the AppStore) and help me change the LaunchScreen since we can't use swift for that.

sourceFilePath="$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME/App/Base.lproj/LaunchScreen.storyboard"
versionNumber=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" "$INFOPLIST_FILE")
buildNumber=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "$INFOPLIST_FILE")

sed -i .bak -e "/userLabel=\"APP_VERSION_LABEL\"/s/text=\"[^\"]*\"/text=\"v$versionNumber\"/" "$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME/App/Base.lproj/LaunchScreen.storyboard"

But in Xcode 11 there is a new section inside the project's build settings called Versioning

enter image description here

And CFBundleShortVersionString automatically changed to $(MARKETING_VERSION). Xcode automatically handles that and I don't want to change it manually to an static number and let Xcode do it's work.

So the question is how can I access this new MARKETING_VERSION and set it to my launchScreen label using run script?

Solution

  • You can use it like any other project variable:

    sourceFilePath="$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME/App/Base.lproj/LaunchScreen.storyboard"
versionNumber="$MARKETING_VERSION"
buildNumber="$CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION"

sed -i .bak -e "/userLabel=\"APP_VERSION_LABEL\"/s/text=\"[^\"]*\"/text=\"v$versionNumber\"/" "$PROJECT_DIR/$PROJECT_NAME/App/Base.lproj/LaunchScreen.storyboard"
