Getting App Version with Expo and React Native (Updated)

A while ago you may have seen that I made a post called Get the current App Version with Expo and React Native.

I made that post when I could only build and run on Android which it seemed to work perfectly fine on however, recently, I noticed that this doesn't seem to work correctly now but I have found a solution!

The solution lies within expo-application. This includes information about the app itself, natively, on the platform. Using nativeApplicationVersion you can get the App Version that's native on the platform.

Rather than posting individual steps, I made a snack! And I don't mean that in the food snack, sadly. I mean an Expo Snack!

// Did this help?

I build things, write about them, and share what I learn. If any of it's been useful to you, a coffee goes a long way.
