To update the version in Android Studio edit the values of versionCode and versionName in android/app/build.gradle.

To update the version in Xcode, select "Reveal Project Navigator". Click the project name ("MushroomObserver"). Select "MushroomObserver" under "TARGETS" (left side of middle panel). Scroll all the way down to "Versioning" in the middle panel. Update the "Current Project Version" and "Marketing Version".

This has gotten as far as I think is reasonable at this time. Once we have the Android toolchain updated and we have enough changes to warrant an actual release we'll open another issue. I think the path to creating a release is as clear to me as it can be at the moment.
