I have CI and CD pipelines on AzureDevops for Android application written in .NET Maui.
When the release shows up on AppCenter after CD is successfully run, the version of the release is the same for all of them even though that is not what was set for the version in the CI pipeline.
Here is my bash script used for getting this version to the AssemblyInfo.cs file.
ANDROID_MANIFEST_FILE="AndroidManifest.xml"
if [[ ${{ parameters.SetVersionCodeInManifest }} == True ]]
then
VERSION_CODE="$(Azure_DevOps_BUILD_ID)"
echo "Updating Android build information. New version code $VERSION_CODE"
sed -i '' -e 's/versionCode="1"/versionCode="'$VERSION_CODE'"/' $ANDROID_MANIFEST_FILE
fi
VERSION_NAME=$(App_BUILD_NUMBER)
echo "Updating Android build information. New version name $VERSION_NAME"
sed -i '' -e 's/versionName="[0-9.]*"/versionName="'$VERSION_NAME'"/' $ANDROID_MANIFEST_FILE
cat $ANDROID_MANIFEST_FILE
# Set AssemblyInfo
assemblyInfoPath='assemblyinfo.cs'
echo "assemblyInfoPath: $assemblyInfoPath"
sed -i '' -e 's/"[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*"/"'$(App_BUILD_NUMBER)'"/' "$assemblyInfoPath"
cat $assemblyInfoPath
Task result where this code block is executed:

The answer was that if you want your binaries to change version, .NET MAUI does not take them from assemblyinfo.cs but from .csproj file and properties ApplicationDisplayVersion for Version name and ApplicationVersion for VersionCode.
I added a PowerShell task to my pipeline which updates the .csproj file:
- task: PowerShell@2
displayName: Set ApplicationDisplayVersion and ApplicationVersion
inputs:
targetType: 'inline'
script: |
$xml = [Xml] (Get-Content ${{ parameters.SrcFolderName }}\${{ parameters.ProjectFolderName }}\My.App.csproj)
$xml.Project.PropertyGroup.ApplicationDisplayVersion = "$(App_BUILD_NUMBER)"
$xml.Project.PropertyGroup.ApplicationVersion = "$(Azure_DevOps_BUILD_ID)"
$xml.Save("${{ parameters.SrcFolderName }}\${{ parameters.ProjectFolderName }}\My.App.csproj")
And now, in the AppCenter everything is correct: correct version in appcenter
