Quick Tip: Display Application Version in your AIR App.

Posted on February 3, 2009 by Joseph Labrecque

Just a quick tip for those looking to somehow display the AIR application version from the descriptor file. I’ve found it very helpful in troubleshooting is users can say EXACTLY what version of the app they are running.

Application Version

private function getAppVersion():String {
	var appXml:XML = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationDescriptor;
	var ns:Namespace = appXml.namespace();
	var appVersion:String = appXml.ns::version[0];
	return appVersion;
}
