Swift application has no version?

Question

I am trying to get my app version, after following this I tried this code :

import foundation var config: [String: Any]? if let infoPlistPath = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "Info", withExtension: "plist") { do { let infoPlistData = try Data(contentsOf: infoPlistPath) if let dict = try PropertyListSerialization.propertyList(from: infoPlistData, options: [], format: nil) as? [String: Any] { config = dict } } catch { print(error) } } print(config?["CFBundleName"]) // Optional(example-info) print(config?["CFBundleVersion"]) // Optional(1) print(config?["CFBundleShortVersionString"]) // Optional(1.0)

but I get always nil as a result.

Does that mean that my app has no version? If so how to set a version to it?

In addition, when I investigate the Info.plist file with Xcode I found that it's empty!

Are you building an .app bundle, or a command line tool? Did you specify the Info.plist file (Xcode does this by default when creating new app). — Cristik

That's the cause of your problem, command line apps consist just the executable, while app bundles (.app) are actually directories containing the executable, and the Info.plist file (among others). — Cristik
