How to get XCode to add build date & time to Info.plist file?

I am using your exact code, but within the pre-action instead of the post-action, and the info. Plist within the built product correctly reports the build date. In other words, you have to customize your info.

Plist before copying it into the built product, which sounds reasonable to me.

Ahhhh, I should have spent another 30 minutes (on top of the 2 hours I had already wasted) and looked at the answers for this question before posting my own: Insert Subversion revision number in Xcode This post-action script does the trick and works for me: infoplist="$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/$INFOPLIST_PATH" builddate=`date` if -n "$builddate" ; then # if BuildDateString doesn't exist, add it /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :BuildDateString string $builddate" ${infoplist} # and if BuildDateString already existed, update it /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :BuildDateString string $builddate" ${infoplist} fi As you can see, it's doing a bit of a hack there (adding it if it doesn't exist; setting it right afterwards). If anyone can suggest a solution using the "defaults write" method above (which I think might be better supported than "PlistBuddy"), I'd be thrilled to find out (and of course I'll accept and use that superior answer, too).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
