Nativescript hook plugin to maintain native app version

This plugin takes the version and versionNumber properties from package.json and puts on the specific platform resources: AndroidManifest.xml file for the Android sources, and Info.plist for iOS sources.

Compatible with NS 6.

How to use

$ tns plugin add nativescript-dev-version-ssi

This forked version of nativescript-dev-version will expand the version number into a version code that increments properly. XYYYZZZZ is generated as the version code from version X.Y.Z. For example, 1.2.3 becomes 10020003

The above command installs this module and installs the necessary NativeScript hooks.

Then, specify and maintain the desired release version on the ./package.json file under the nativescript.version property, for example:

{
  "nativescript": {
    "id": "org.nativescript.MySampleApp",
    "version": "1.2.3",
    "versionNumber": "1"
    ...
  },
  ...
}

or:

{
  "version": "1.2.3",
  "versionNumber": "1"
  ...
}

When running tns prepare ... the hooks will take care of the native resources.

On iOS, your Info.plist will get:

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.2.3</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1</string>

On Android, AndroidManifest.xml will have:

<manifest
  (...) android:versionCode="10203001" android:versionName="1.2.3"

Breaking changes

When upgading to v0.1.3, for iOS you MUST add "versionNumber": "[value]" to correctly apply on CFBundleVersion in the Info.plist
