Setting iOS Today Extension bundle version to Flutter FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER

I have a flutter application, that also has an iOS native Today extension.

When I change the version on the project's yaml, the "Runner" target gets its version automatically, but the extension target needs to be updated manually.

Is there a way to automate it?

Solution

  • First, you need to update the extension Info.plist files with Flutter params:

    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>$(FLUTTER_BUILD_NAME)</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>$(FLUTTER_BUILD_NUMBER)</string>

    Now you need to have these Flutter parameters available for the widget. To do so, you need to include Flutter/Generated.xcconfig file in the Extension configuration file. On Xcode, select Project->Runner-, under “info” open “configurations”, [image2] Look for the Extension configuration file, and add the following: #include “Generated.xcconfig” Run ‘flutter clean; flutter run’ and the version should be updated
