Hello,

I am currently using using my git commit number as part of my build number that I put into CFBundleVersion. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any documentation about the maximum value that I can use.

I'm familiar with Apple's documentation at https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001431-102364

I just want to make sure I'm not going to hit some undocumented limit.

Thanks,

Shawn

I can't find a limit either, so...

Can you give an example of the number you intend to use?

1.1

10.01

100.001

001.001

...?

How many versions do you expect to go thru? 10 a day for a working year is what...2k revs ? 000.000 should cover that for 10 years easily I think.

As long as the format is compatible and you adhere to it consistently, I'd think if you start with a scheme that allows for growth you'll be fine and not need to worry about some mandated limit.
