AppVersionComposer

This package handles app versioning. App version composes from git tag, number of commits since the tag, commit hash (optionally) and branch name (optionally). Composed version is written to 2 places: PlayerSettings.bundleVersion field and to AppVersionHolder asset

Example:

Name	Value
Git tag	v1.3
Number of commits since the tag	5
Commit hash	f540d3
Branch name	MyFeatureBranch

Results matrix

	Development build	Production build
iOS	1.3.51	1.3.51
Android	1.3.5-f540d3-MyFeatureBranch	1.3.5-f540d3
MacOS	1.3.5-f540d3-MyFeatureBranch	1.3.5-f540d3
Windows	1.3.5-f540d3-MyFeatureBranch	1.3.5-f540d3

Requirements:

• Repository has at least one tag
• Git tag must be 'vX.X', where X - is a positive number (eg. v1.2)

AppVersionHolder asset

Some platforms might not support any kind of version string (for example iOS). Often, they use semantic versioning with strict restriction to have {major.minor.patch} view. In this case in your implementation you can use AppVersionHolder scriptable object located in Assets/Resources. It contains several properties:

• AppVersion — data structure that contains all values required to build app version string
• [editor only] BuildPreprocessorOder — specifies order in which app version will be composed during build preprocessing stage

So, in order to get full app version at Runtime in semver-only platforms, reference AppVersionHolder asset and use AppVersion property

Footnotes

1. iOS (ipadOS etc) supports only semantic versioning (semver). To get full app version check usage of AppVersionHolder asset ↩ ↩²
