macOS app has missing version information

[vitorgalvao]

Describe the bug

To accurately display version information, macOS apps need to have the CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString tags in Info.plist.

In XaoS, the keys are missing.

To Reproduce

Inspect XaoS.app/Contents/Info.plist and verify the keys are missing.

Expected behavior

App should have versions.

Additional context

Alternatively to setting versions during the build process, they can be added after it’s done by directly editing the Info.plist:

# Change these values
app_path='/PATH/TO/APP/HERE'
app_version='VERSION NUMBER HERE'

# Keep these as they are
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :CFBundleVersion string ${app_version}" "${app_path}/Contents/Info.plist"
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :CFBundleShortVersionString string ${app_version}" "${app_path}/Contents/Info.plist"

That would use the same version number for both fields. Technically they should be different, but that’s a secondary concern. An accurate version number is important for macOS to know which app to open in ambiguous situations; for users who expect the information available via the Finder; and for interoperability with other apps.
