Phonegap - The Info.plist in the package must contain the CFBundleVersion key

Question

I have followed all steps to generate the .ipa file and went to upload it using the Application Loader but kept getting the following error:

The Info.plist in the package must contain the CFBundleVersion key.
 The Info.plist in the package must contain the CFBundleShortVersionString key.

Here's Hello World-Info.plist file containg all the info:

What needs to be fixed/added so I can upload my application?!

Answer 1

Add after first opening of the < dict >

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.0</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1</string>

Replace 1.0 with the version of the application you want.The funny thing is that those should be generated for you any time you are changing anything in the TargetName -> General -> Identity :)

Edit: added a image where those setting are displayd

Answer 2

Turns out there needs to be a config.xml in the www/ directory which wasn't there by default from the beginning.

In the widget tag, the following should be specified:

version="1.0.6" ios-CFBundleVersion="201406097"

where the version number should be changed everytime you wish to deploy an new update on the app store. I read that you can write a script that takes care of the version so you don't have to change it manually each time but didn't try it.

For the CFBundleVersion you could check the following answer which explains it. But you won't need to change it when deploying.

Answer 3

只需检查它们在版本和内部版本号中的末尾或末尾不应包含空格
