Getting version and build information with Swift


What was wrong with the Swift syntax? This seems to work:

if let text = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?["CFBundleVersion"] as? String {    print(text)}


Swift 3/4 Version

func version() -> String {    let dictionary = Bundle.main.infoDictionary!    let version = dictionary["CFBundleShortVersionString"] as! String    let build = dictionary["CFBundleVersion"] as! String    return "\(version) build \(build)"} 

Swift 2.x Version

func version() -> String {    let dictionary = NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary!    let version = dictionary["CFBundleShortVersionString"] as String    let build = dictionary["CFBundleVersion"] as String    return "\(version) build \(build)"}

as seen here.


For the final release of Xcode 6 use

NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary?["CFBundleVersion"] as? String

The "?" character after infoDictionary is important here
