You have to pass a valid version number using the Deliver file. (e.g. 'version "1.0"')

I'm trying to send version to TestFlight (iTunes Connect) with this lane:

lane :appstore do
  sigh :skip_install
  system("cd ..; ipa build --verbose --configuration AppStore")
  deliver :skip_deploy, :force, ipa: "../jobandtalent.ipa"
end

And this Deliverfile:

########################################
# App Metadata
########################################

# The app identifier is required
app_identifier "mycompany.identifier"
apple_id "*****"


# This folder has to include one folder for each language
# More information about automatic screenshot upload:
# https://github.com/KrauseFx/deliver#upload-screenshots-to-itunes-connect
screenshots_path "./deliver/screenshots/"


# version '1.2' # you can pass this if you want to verify the version number with the ipa file

config_json_folder './deliver'

success do
  system("say 'Successfully deployed a new version.'")
end

error do |exception|
  # custom exception handling here
  raise "Something went wrong: #{exception}"
end

A few days ago I could upload version without problems ...Now is required to specified the version in Deliverfile?

[rais38]

If I include the version in the Deliverfile if it works ... This is correct?

[KrauseFx]

Well, it should fetch the version number from the ipa file. Looks like deliver has issues detecting the version number.

[KrauseFx]

Might be caused by too many plist files:

fastlane-old/deliver#73

I need more information about the extracted ipa file to solve this problem.

[rais38]

I can see in generated ipa file there are some plist files:

• For own consumption of the app in the root of .app folder
• Inside each storyboards of the app
• In the localization folders (en.lproj, es.lproj...)
• And only one Info.plist in the root folder with the relevant information CFBundleShortVersionString, CFBundleVersion...

This information can help you?

Same here with last fastlane version

[KrauseFx]

Sorry about that, you can pass the version number manually and provide your own automatic detection of the version number using PlistBuddy 😞

[patoroco]

It's possible to send version as parameter? Or we should update DeliverFile programmatically?

[KrauseFx]

Yes, of course: https://github.com/KrauseFx/deliver/blob/master/Deliverfile.md#version

Just add

version "1.0"

or something like

version File.read("file.txt")

or your own script

[patoroco]

Oh, nice approach! Maybe I'll do one action for that :)

Finally I used these two lines:

FastFile:

before_all do |lane|
system("/usr/libexec/plistbuddy -c Print:CFBundleShortVersionString '../myProject-Info.plist' > ./app_version.txt")
end

DeliverFile (as you said @KrauseFx):

version File.read('./app_version.txt')

In my case, I added fastlane/app_version.txt to my .gitignore, opinions?

[KrauseFx]

Change it to just

version `"/usr/libexec/plistbuddy -c Print:CFBundleShortVersionString '../myProject-Info.plist'`

and remove the before_all

This is also improved with the latest version 👍
