When I do a "Get Info" on my games' application bundle, the information under the "Version" field is the default information.

Quote:FashionCentsDeluxe version 0.1, Copyright 2007
__MyCompanyName__.

Where do I update this information?

In Xcode, I found a InfoPlist.strings file that looks like it contains this information, but when I edit it and rebuild my application bundle, I can do a Get Info on it and it still shows the same default information. It's like it is ignoring the InfoPlist.strings file. Help!

The default Info.plist doesn't have all the version/copyright tags. You might/should have an InfoPlist.strings that has the localized strings, or you can probably add the proper tags to Info.plist.

Typical InfoPlist.strings:

Code:

CFBundleName = "MyAppName";

CFBundleShortVersionString = "MyAppName version 1.2.3";

CFBundleGetInfoString = "MyAppName version 1.2.3, Copyright 2009 MyCoolCompany.";

NSHumanReadableCopyright = "Copyright 2009, My Cool Company";

CFBundleShortVersionString is what's displayed in the Finder (like under the icon in column view). Mac OS X 10.6 uses CFBundleShortVersionString and NSHumanReadableCopyright in the Get Info. CFBundleGetInfoString is obsolete and I doubt anything still uses it, but no harm in including it.

Thanks!

I had found those strings and modified them, but didn't see any change. Then last night I had to reboot the system, and now Get Info shows the correct information. I guess Finder just had to be refreshed somehow, so that it would reread the strings. Is there any way to do that without rebooting?
