cordova-plugin-appinfo

Cordova plugin that provides access to the following app info:

• identifier: Bundle Identifier on iOS, PackageName on Android. Example: 'org.scriptotek.testapp'.
• version: CFBundleVersion on iOS, versionName on Android, Version from WMAppManifest.xml on WP8. Example: '1.0.2'.
• build:
  • iOS: field is build. Example: '1.0.2.1'.
  • Android: field is versionCode. Example: '18'.
  • Windows Phone 8: empty string (not supported).
  • Windows universal apps: version + revision. Example: '1.0.2.1'. (Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 8.0)

Installation

The plugin is on npm, you can install it using:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-appinfo

Supported Platforms

• Android
• iPhone
• Windows
• WP8 (except build number)

Usage

The plugin provides a navigator.appInfo object:

console.log('identifier: %s', navigator.appInfo.identifier);
console.log('version: %s', navigator.appInfo.version);
console.log('build: %s', navigator.appInfo.build);

Before version 2.1, the information had to be accessed through asynchronously. This is no longer needed, but the old method shown below will be kept for backwards compatibility:

navigator.appInfo.getAppInfo(function(appInfo) {
  console.log('identifier: %s', appInfo.identifier);
  console.log('version: %s', appInfo.version);
  console.log('build: %s', appInfo.build);
}, function(err) {
    alert(err);
});
