Set Bundle Version Code through editor script

Questions & Answers
1

Hi there, I was wondering if it was possible to set the BundleVersionCode through a custom editor script. I am making a simple build panel for an android project with the BundleVersion set to match my company’s version naming convention. I would like to set the BundleVersionCode with this same convention (minus the "."s) but cant seem to find an access point.

Is there really no way to access/ mutate that data at build time? And if not, why? It doesn’t seem like bad form to do this but maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks in advance,

And I answered my own question 3 minutes after I asked it. While the BundleIdentifier and BundleVersion values are shared between platforms (marked clearly in the inspector with a *) the BundleVersionCode is not. That means it can be found in PlayerSettings.Android.bundleVersionCode.

Next time I’ll dig a little deeper before asking here.

You can easily change the bundle version (it’s a string) to anything you like with an editor script:

[MenuItem("Test/Set Bundle Version")]	
static void SetBundle()
{
	PlayerSettings.bundleVersion = "1-1";	
}

Also, check the scripting reference for all settings.

Basically, my problem was version conflict when you compile for IOS. The new iTunes TestFlight does not allow same version number as the old TestFlight. I solved writing an editor script that rewrite every editor update the bundle version with a fixed string like i.e. “1.202.” followed by month+day+hour+minute. So I can now forget about to change bundle version when I’m gonna build any bundle.

using UnityEngine; 
using System.Collections;
using UnityEditor;
using System;

[InitializeOnLoad]
public class bundleVersion  {

static bundleVersion ()
{

	EditorApplication.update += Update;

}

static void Update ()
{
	string month;

	if (System.DateTime.Now.Month<=9) {
		month="0"+System.DateTime.Now.Month;
	}
	else{
		month=System.DateTime.Now.Month.ToString();
	}

	string day;
	
	if (System.DateTime.Now.Day<=9) {
		day="0"+System.DateTime.Now.Day;
	}
	else{
		day=System.DateTime.Now.Day.ToString();
	}

	string hour;
	if (System.DateTime.Now.Hour<=9) {
		hour="0"+System.DateTime.Now.Hour;
	}
	else{
		hour=System.DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString();
	}
	string minute;
	if (System.DateTime.Now.Minute<=9) {
		minute="0"+System.DateTime.Now.Minute;
	}
	else{
		minute=System.DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString();
	}

	PlayerSettings.bundleVersion = "1.202."+month+day+hour+minute;

}


}

put this in a file called “bundleVersion.cs” inside /Assets/Editor folder.
