Description Nicolas Christener 2019-10-10 08:26:25 UTC
Description:
The iOS app has an about dialog (menu "help > about") that shows a version for LOOLWSD and LOKit but not the one of the "iOS app".

It would be nice to have the "iOS app" version in there.

This would help in support cases: currently user sometiems tell us it's version 4.1.0 which is the LOOLWSD version (in the about dialog).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the "about dialog" from help > about

Actual Results:
The iOS app version is not printed on this dialog.

Expected Results:
The iOS app version is printed on this dialog.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This is low prio.

This is a print screen of the about dialog from the iOS app version 4.1.65.

But "4.1.65" is not printed on this dialog.

Moving to NEW as agreed in the ESC meeting
Comment 3 Nicolas Christener 2020-05-12 17:03:02 UTC
Tested in 4.2.4 (55), the app version is now shown in the about dialog.

I believe we can close this issue.

Thanks a lot to the Collabora team and especially Tor for taking care of this!

It is not clear what "actual app version" means. The version number displayed in the App Store is completely independent of anything else. That is probably what most people would think of as the actual app version. (It is just because of sanity that it usually tends to be in the same ballpark as what Help > About shows.) The version number in the Info.plist file is another thing, and the version number in configure.ac (which is from where the number in Help > About comes) is a third thing. But sure, let's assume that we will be able to keep these in sync in a sane fashion in the future, too, and resolve this.

(It is not really possible to have the version number from configure.ac automatically propagate to Info.plist because the latter needs bumping as soon as a build has been approved by Apple review for release, and it happens that we don't release a build after all if we notice at the last moment that something needs to be fixed even if we still build from exactly the same git commit.)
