How do I get the App version and build number using Swift?

Question

I have an IOS app with an Azure back-end, and would like to log certain events, like logins and which versions of the app users are running.

How can I return the ver

Answer 1

extension UIApplication {

    static var appVersion: String {
        if let appVersion = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey("CFBundleShortVersionString") {
            return "\(appVersion)"
        } else {
            return ""
        }
    }

    static var build: String {
        if let buildVersion = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey(kCFBundleVersionKey as String) {
            return "\(buildVersion)"
        } else {
            return ""
        }
    }

    static var versionBuild: String {
        let version = UIApplication.appVersion
        let build = UIApplication.build

        var versionAndBuild = "v\(version)"

        if version != build {
            versionAndBuild = "v\(version)(\(build))"
        }

        return versionAndBuild
    }

}

Attention: You should use if let here in case that the app version or build is not set which will lead to crash if you try to use ! to unwrap.
