How to get application version using libgdx/robovm
I have some questions about getting the version of application developed on top of libgdx (and also on robovm for ios)
I want to get the version information
android:versionName tag of AndroidManifest.xml for Android app.version key of robovm.properties for IOS. (Which, I believe, is eventually replaced for value of CFBundleShortVersionString key in Info.plist.xml ) My first question is, does libgdx provide a platform independent method for getting app version? (I could not find any)
If not I found an answer to get app version on android, that's OK. Found same answer for IOS but in a native way. How can I do same thing using robovm backend?
I don't think libgdx provides a platform independent way to do this. Here's how to get the CFBundleShortVersionString value for your app using RoboVM's CocoaTouch bindings:
NSDictionary infoDictionary = NSBundle.getMainBundle().getInfoDictionary();
String version = infoDictionary.get(new NSString("CFBundleShortVersionString")).toString();
You can use the same method to get CFBundleVersion etc from your app's Info.plist file.
