auto number builds / sticky build number - please?

Getting Started Newbie Questions

This is a small thing, but an irksome thing.

When building for device, can the Corona dialog form field for version number please be sticky, tied to the name of the app.

E.g. I’d like it if I’m building version 0.5.2 of my app, that the next time I go in, it either auto-increments for me to 0.5.3 (auto-increments the last digit after a decimal) or shows 0.5.2 and I can edit it myself.

I wish it didn’t always say 1.0 as the default field value.

Hi iPlayalot,

I am talking about iOS. I saw settings for Android mentioned in the build settings docs, but not iOS.

Are you sure that I can set a version number in build settings for iOS, with decimals, (e.g. 0.5.2) and have it prepopulate in the build dialog?

Can you point me to the documentation for this?

Thanks.

Gary

+1 for this.

It should remember the last version number you typed in. I might build a bunch of 0.9s or 1.3’s… Having to remember to either edit your build.settings file or type the current in is kind of a pain… Maybe it should write the version number info to the build.settings for you.

How about command line build command so that the whole thing could be scripted and removed all manual handling and error-prone processes?

e.g. If I could type the following:

corona build android 1.32 132 com.myco.mapp pathtokeystore keyname pathtomyapp/main.lua

then it could be fully automated.

But +1000000 for sticky build number in the mean time. [import]uid: 60648 topic_id: 22674 reply_id: 91383[/import]
