Quick start

Pass path to the project file and bundle id as arguments

$ cd $PROJECT_PATH
$ ls
SomeProjectTests README.md SomeProject SomeProject.xcodeproj
$ xcvdetector -p SomeProject.xcodeproj -b com.companyName.SomeProject
$ 1.0.0_2
$ xcvdetector -p SomeProject.xcodeproj -b com.companyName.SomeProject -f dot
$ 1.0.0.2
$ xcvdetector -p SomeProject.xcodeproj -b com.companyName.SomeProject -f brackets
$ 1.1.0 (1)

Use xcvdetector -h for detailed usage description

Motivation

Made for usage with CI/CD server. Fastlane has get_version_number and get_build_number but it relies on xcodebuild's -showBuildSettings which is slow and may fail unexpectedly.
Fastlane also has no option to return joined version + number.
