Bash script for Xcode. Updates build number automatically and saves some useful information (e.g. current git commit) about the build environment to Info.plist.

increase-build-number.sh

#!/bin/bash

# increase-build-number.sh
# @desc Auto-increment the build number every time the project is run and add build information to plist
# @usage
# 1. Select: your Target in Xcode
# 2. Select: Build Phases Tab
# 3. Select: Add Build Phase -> Add Run Script
# 4. Paste code below in to new "Run Script" section
# 5. Drag the "Run Script" below "Link Binaries With Libraries"
# 6. Insure that your starting build number is set to a whole integer and not a float (e.g. 1, not 1.0)
