react-native-version-info


Returns CFBundleShortVersionString, CFBundleVersion, and CFBundleIdentifier on iOS. For Android, returns versionName, versionCode, and applicationId. For Windows, returns the version properties major, minor, and build numbers as the appVersion, the revision number as the buildVersion, and the name property as the bundleIdentifier.

| | Android | iOS | Windows | Example |
| ---------------- | --------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------ |
| appVersion | versionName | CFBundleShortVersionString | Identity[version] | 1.0.2 |
| buildVersion | versionCode | CFBundleVersion | Identity[revision] | 42 |
| bundleIdentifier | applicationId | CFBundleIdentifier | Identity[name] | com.foo.bar.MyApp|

Installation

Using npm:

``shell
npm install react-native-version-info
`

or using yarn:

`shell
yarn add react-native-version-info
`

Linking

$3

`shell
react-native link react-native-version-info
`

iOS: If you are using pods in your project, don't forget to run pod update.

$3

#### Android

1. In your android/settings.gradle file, make the following additions:

`java
include ':react-native-version-info'
project(':react-native-version-info').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-version-info/android')
`

2. In your android/app/build.gradle file, add the :react-native-version-info project as a compile-time dependency:

`java
...
dependencies {
...
implementation project(':react-native-version-info')
}
`

3. Update the MainApplication.java file to use react-native-version-info via the following changes:

`java
import cx.evermeet.versioninfo.RNVersionInfoPackage;

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {

private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
...
@Override
protected List getPackages() {
return Arrays.asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new RNVersionInfoPackage(), // here
);
}
};
...
}
`

#### iOS

In XCode, in the project navigator:

- Right click _Libraries_
- Add Files to _[your project's name]_
- Go to node_modules/react-native-version-info/ios
- Add the .xcodeproj file

In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project.

- Add the libRNVersionInfo.a (in subdir Products) from the _VersionInfo_ project to your project's _Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries_ (Note: the library file does not exist yet, thus it will show up as red.)
- Click the .xcodeproj file you added before in the project navigator and go the _Build Settings_ tab. Make sure _All_ is toggled on (instead of _Basic_). Look for _Header Search Paths_ and make sure it contains both $(SRCROOT)/../react-native/React and $(SRCROOT)/../../React

#### Windows

1. In your windows/{app_name}/MainReactNativeHost file add the RNVersionInfo package to the package list:

`c#
using cx.evermeet.versioninfo;
...
protected override List Packages => new List
{
...
new RNVersionInfoPackage(),
};
`

2. Add RNVersionInfo to your solution

3. Add RNVersionInfo to your ReactNative project's references

Changelog

A Changelog is included in the package, but also available for viewing in the repo on GitHub.

FAQ

$3

The package is considered stable. To follow the semantic versioning specification the version had to be set to 1.0.0.

$3

It does. However, please be aware of the following (from the react-native documentation): If your iOS project is using CocoaPods (contains Podfile) and linked library has podspec file, then react-native link will link library using Podfile.
In such a case, don't forget to run pod update.

Usage

`javascript
import VersionInfo from 'react-native-version-info';

console.log(VersionInfo.appVersion);
console.log(VersionInfo.buildVersion);
console.log(VersionInfo.bundleIdentifier);
``
