Thanks for the response. Any pointers to where I can locate or discover
the object name?
I am looking to move away from having two version numbers;
- one on the stand-alone setting screen and
- one in the application setting screen
Since the stand-alone setting version value is required by the compiler,
i would like to have the application settings screen just query the
standalone value and present it to the user in the application context
I see, I misunderstood you the first time. The easiest way to keep track
of the version number in a standalone is to store it as a custom
property somewhere and retrieve it as needed. I usually store it as a
custom property of the main stack.
There are ways to read the plist file on an OS X app, but no good way to
find it in a Windows or mobile app. Storing it yourself is much easier.
The standalone builder does keep a record of the versions and other app
settings as part of the stack properties, but those are not retained in
the built standalone so you can't get them there.
