Embedding the build timestamp into my app

Is there a way to bake the build timestamp into my app automagically when I’m building?

I don’t know how others build and test on their physical device, but I often get confused on whether or not i’m actually testing my latest build (not talking about corona daily builds). I know you can specify the version # when you kick off the build process, but if there was an automated way to bake in the build timestamp into my app and display that string on my device that would make things a bit easier.

I’m not sure how one could achieve that, although it’s an interesting train of thought.

One option if you are keeping multiple versions on your device and need to know would be to write a function that saves the time and date then displays it - but only saves the first time the app is run.

Would that help?
