Hi,
Kinda random question, I was wondering if there was a way of displaying the app build date in the app? I was thinking this could be an easy way of creating a ‘version’ so when I get feedback from my testers I can see what code they are actually running (they don’t all seem to update as regularly as I make changes). I know I could manually increase this, but I am just being lazy.
Cheers,
Craig
Option A - To your specific question, below is a tutorial for reading dates inside of code:

Option B - Rather than have testers transmit feedback manually, you can include a “feedback” button in the app which brings up an email in their devices default mail client, which you can set to pre-populate the build info inside of it ahead of time.
Option C - Use CoronaViewer so that you can make changes and have them update on testers devices as soon as they start the app and have an internet connection.
