Action get-latest-testflight-build-number returns version number instead of build number

[jtruenary]

Since the last release v0.36.7, the action get-latest-testflight-build-number returns version number instead of build number. Our Codemagic CI pipelines are breaking because of this. Any suggestions?

Hi @jtruenary, thank you for your report. If anything, then version 0.36.6 is to blame for it as it includes changes from PR #300, that altered the behaviour of app-store-connect get-latest-testflight-build-number (and similar actions).

Could you please provide some more context of your use-case with terminal output and screenshots from the related application TestFlight builds?

I'm having exactly the same issue.

It is generally believed that BuildNumber always goes up but Apple allows reusing (lower build number) when changing the app version. So Overall #300 is correct and we should adapt our CI pipelines @jtruenary. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2420/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40016603-CH1-VERSION_NUMBER_AND_BUILD_NUMBER_CHECKLIST

I hope it helps the next person looking for this 👍

@priitlatt Yes you are right. Our last build was on 0.36.5 before this failing build, so our pipelines never ran on 0.36.6.

We run this command:

app-store-connect get-latest-testflight-build-number "$APP_STORE_ID"

This is the output:

Found build number 1.18.35.104.6 from TestFlight version 6

Previously we were fetching the build number and incrementing it in our build job.

@jtruenary could you please provide a screenshot of what is going on in your TestFlight?
