Flutter: package_info.version is always "1.0"

Question

I'm trying to get my Flutter app's version using the package_info plugin.

import 'package:package_info/package_info.dart';
// ...
PackageInfo.fromPlatform().then((pkgInfo) {
  print(pkgInfo.version); // prints "1.0"
});

However, in pubspec.yaml, I specified version: 2.0.0.

Where does the plugin get the version numer from? How can I change it?

Incidentally, pkgInfo.appName matches the name field in pubspec.yaml.

Solution

It's not the version from pubspec.yaml, it's the version from Android / iOS platform. So you should change the version in :

Android

android/app/build.gradle file

    versionCode 5
    versionName "1.0"

iOS

ios/Runner/Info.plist file

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>1.0</string>

UPDATE

package_info is deprecated, use package_info_plus instead.

For more information you can check how the native package get the version for each platform:

if its set as.... <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key<string>$(FLUTTER_BUILD_‌​NAME)</string>.... I'm having the same problem too.

@Bishoy Hanna Yeah same as me even the versionName in app/build.grades is flutterVersionName
