I wrote a C++ command-line tool by using XCode.
My tool crashes sometimes, with a crash report being generated.
How can I include Version of my command-line tool in crash report?
Now the Version is always 0.
You may be able to get the version number populated by adding an
Info.plistCREATE_INFOPLIST_SECTION_IN_BINARYThis above is a good idea in general, but it’s not how I’d solve this particular problem. Rather, you should keep a table that maps between your version numbers and the main executable’s Mach-O UUID. That UUID is included in the crash report, so you can just look up the version from there.
This has a couple of benefits:
The UUID identifies a specific build, whereas the version number tends to get tangled up with marketing concerns.
The UUID also ties the executable to its
file..dSYM
Share and Enjoy
