I also was facing this, i suggest do this on your local system. Make a habit to bump up the version before doing any "release" git commit. Just read the pkg most of your doubt might get resolved by itself. have a look at this pacakge cider pkg

what do i mean by "release" git commit? - well if you are making a commit with the intention to make the build from it and publish. That is a release git commit according to me.

I am open for suggestion. If someone has better idea.

Hello @Isabellakuang

I'm using other actions to achieve this, and it works great. I use git tags to name the version, and the commit number as build number.

These steps code should be placed before build step, watch out for "fetch-depth: 0"

Check if it makes sense to you!

  - name: Check out Git repository
    uses: actions/checkout@v2
    with:
      fetch-depth: 0

  - name: Extract version from tag
    uses: damienaicheh/extract-version-from-tag-action@v1.0.0

  - name: Update Info.plist
    uses: damienaicheh/update-ios-version-info-plist-action@v1.0.0
    with:
      info-plist-path: "ios/YOUR_PROJECT_NAME/Info.plist"
      bundle-version: ${{ env.NUMBER_OF_COMMITS }}
      bundle-short-version-string: "${{ env.MAJOR }}.${{ env.MINOR }}.${{ env.PATCH }}"
      print-file: true
