Get current app's build version - Xamarin.Android
With a Dependency service:
For iOS:
using Foundation;
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(Screen_iOS))]
namespace XXX.iOS
{
public class Screen_iOS : IScreen
{
public string Version
{
get
{
NSObject ver = NSBundle.MainBundle.InfoDictionary["CFBundleShortVersionString"];
return ver.ToString();
}
}
}
}
For Android:
using Xamarin.Forms;
[assembly: Dependency(typeof(ScreenAndroid))]
namespace XXX.Droid
{
class ScreenAndroid : Java.Lang.Object, IScreen
{
public string Version
{
get
{
var context = Forms.Context;
return context.PackageManager.GetPackageInfo(context.PackageName, 0).VersionName;
}
}
}
}
And the interface:
interface IScreen
{
string Version { get; }
}
For version name:
Application.Context.ApplicationContext.PackageManager.GetPackageInfo(Application.Context.ApplicationContext.PackageName, 0).VersionName
For version code:
Application.Context.ApplicationContext.PackageManager.GetPackageInfo(Application.Context.ApplicationContext.PackageName, 0).VersionCode
In Xamarin.Essentials you can use the following:
Version version = AppInfo.Version;
From there you can get the build version.
If you really just want the build number you can also use the shortcut:
string buildNumber = AppInfo.BuildString;
