You can get the app version using appConfig. For more details, refer the below basecamp pot.

Thanks for the quick reply. Using "appConfig" can we also get build version as well?

@Rakesh Khandagale​

appConfig will provide below info of the app.

{"appId":"Sample","appName":"Sample","appVersion":"1.0.0","isDebug":true,"isMFApp":false,"eventTypes":["FormEntry","Error","Crash"]}

@Rakesh Khandagale​ ,

If by build version, you mean Visualizer version, then the answer is no. You cannot get visualizer version in the app at runtime because Visualizer version is not relevant for the app version.

And as @Twvcey Rvndvll​ confirmed, app version can be read from appConfig global object at runtime.

To get the Build Version/Bundle Version you can use the below NFI.

First import the Foundation framework use the below code

var NSBundle=objc.import("NSBundle"); var version=NSBundle.mainBundle.infoDict kony.print(JSON.stringify(version))

From Version read the CFBundleVersion which will give you the Build version. This approach might increase the application size. Instead of this you can raise a new Idea(feature request) in the Ideation Portal to get a direct API to read the request info from the application.

Is there an Android equivalent that you can recommend?
