Flutter iOS app version and build number not updating when Archiving in xCode

Question

When I archive my iOS app in xCode for uploading to the Apple appstore it stopped gettign the right version number and build number:

My pubspec.yaml has the right numbers:

version: 1.0.9+11

And it looks right in xCode but not once it gets archived:

Answer 1

I needed to run flutter build ios before opening xcode and running archive. Now the versions numbers are correct.

Answer 2

if you still have this issue after performing the command mentioned in accepted answer you should try to edit info.plist file manually:

use below strings in info.plist:

For CFBundleShortVersionString use --> $(MARKETING_VERSION)

For CFBundleVersion use --> $(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION)

this is how i solved that issue. hope it helps.

ps: assuming that you are trying to change it through Xcode

Answer 3

This is an extension to the answers of aligur and samad shukr. I had to change some more details to make it working again.

You need to change ios/Runner/Info.plist look for the keys CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion:

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>$(FLUTTER_BUILD_NAME)</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>$(FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER)</string>

And ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:

There are multiple lines with CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = ... all of them has to be replaced with CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = "$(FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER)"; and delete all lines with the fields FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER and MARKETING_VERSION (if those are not present you didn't messed that up)

Answer 4

I have solved this problem by opening info.pilist searching for these two keys and remove

• CFBundleShortVersionString
• CFBundleVersion

then adding this

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>$(MARKETING_VERSION)</string>

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>$(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION)</string>
