CFBundleShortVersionString with 4 period-separated integers

Hi,


When I browse the AppStore, I see the Chrome application with a version composed of 4 period-separated integers (e.g 44.0.2403.67). So I suspect that the Bundle Short Version of Chrome is composed of 4 period-separated integers.


But when I try to submit an application with the same format, XCode shows an alert explaining that the Bundle Short Version should be composed of 3 period-separated integers.


Do you know how it is possible?


Thanks in advance.

I have the exact same question.

Snapchat also uses 4 integers, currently being "9.31.1.0" - https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/snapchat/id447188370?mt=8


However, when I use Application Loader to upload my binary, I get: "ERROR ITMS-90060: "This bundle is invalid. The value for key CFBundleShortVersionString '2.6.0.0' in the Info.plist file must be a period-separated list of at most three non-negative integers.""


Can you guys at Apple provide an answer for us? The original question was asked almost 10 months ago...

Modify info.plist
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0.19.7101</string>

Hello, has anyone found a definite way of solving this issue? Due to some circumstances I'd like to release a version with 4 integers, and even though I was able to create the release on the App Store Connect, I get error ITMS-90060 from XCode.

If setting different values for Bundle Version and Short Bundle Version, what is the recommended setting? If I want to release version 2.0.2.3 and set the Bundle version as 2.0.2.3, should the Short bundle version be 2.0.2? What if I have already released version 2.0.2 in the past?

Overall, is it recommended to just avoid using 4 integers in versions? Or on simple terms, is it impossible to use 4 integer versions nowadays?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I read in the XCode Quick Help that the CFBundleShortVersionString is not used anymore except in the finders show information dialog. Thats why it is initialized from build setting MARKETING_VERSION

And CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION should be a single integer. This one is put into the CFBundleVersion.

This is for macOS, don't know about IOS.
