update_version_settings_bundle.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Add a Run Script in Build Phase and put in the content of this script

PLISTBUDDY="/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy"
INFO_PLIST="$CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH/Info.plist"
SETTINGS_PLIST="$CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH/Settings.bundle/Root.plist"
VERSION_NUMBER="`$PLISTBUDDY -c \"Print CFBundleShortVersionString\" \"$INFO_PLIST\"`"
BUILD_NUMBER="`$PLISTBUDDY -c \"Print CFBundleVersion\" \"$INFO_PLIST\"`"
VERSION="$VERSION_NUMBER ($BUILD_NUMBER)"

$PLISTBUDDY -c "Set :PreferenceSpecifiers:1:DefaultValue '$VERSION_NUMBER'" "$SETTINGS_PLIST"
$PLISTBUDDY -c "Set :PreferenceSpecifiers:2:DefaultValue '$BUILD_NUMBER'" "$SETTINGS_PLIST"

Works just fine. Thx!
