Just to share what I've done with it...
In Debug Mode:
Options->Custom Commands
* Before Build
Command: /bin/date -j "+%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" >builddate.txt
Working Directory: ${ProjectDir}
Run on external console: checked
Perform a debug build so that builddate.txt is generated.
Add builddate.txt to the project.
Build Action: Content
In AppDeleage.cs
add the following member variables.
static public DateTime BUILD_DATE { get; set; }
static public string BUILD_NAME { get; set; }
static public string BUILD_FLAVOR { get; set; }
static public string BUILD_VERSION { get; set; }
static public string BUILD_VERSION_SIMPLE { get; set; }
static public string BUILD_VERSION_LONG { get; set; }
static public int BUILD_NUMBER { get; set; }
In FinishedLaunching, at the beginning of the method add:
BUILD_NAME =
NSBundle.MainBundle.ObjectForInfoDictionary("CFBundleDisplayName").ToString();
string vs =
NSBundle.MainBundle.ObjectForInfoDictionary("CFBundleShortVersionString").ToString();
string v =
NSBundle.MainBundle.ObjectForInfoDictionary("CFBundleVersion").ToString();
BUILD_NUMBER = Convert.ToInt32(v);
BUILD_VERSION = string.Format("{0} ({1})", vs, v);
#if ADHOC
BUILD_FLAVOR = "ADHOC";
#elif APPSTORE
BUILD_FLAVOR = "APPSTORE";
#else
BUILD_FLAVOR = "DEV";
#endif
BUILD_VERSION_SIMPLE = string.Format("{0} {1} ({2}) {3}", BUILD_NAME,
vs, v, BUILD_FLAVOR);
DateTime date;
string dateString = File.ReadAllText("builddate.txt");
if (DateTime.TryParse(dateString, out date))
BUILD_DATE = date;
BUILD_VERSION_LONG = string.Format("{0} {1} ({2}) {3} {4}", BUILD_NAME,
vs, v, BUILD_FLAVOR, BUILD_DATE);
