How do you save PlayerSettings.bundleVersion to a variable?

Question

I'd like to print PlayerSettings.bundleVersion to the screen so I can display it on the screen as a build number. The problem is that PlayerSettings.bundleVersion is an editor only setting, so I need to take that value and set it to a variable that I can use in script. I believe I need to make an editor script to save off the value to be able to access it in a script. How do you save PlayerSettings.bundleVersion to a variable to use in script?

You could just have a static string in whatever script is responsible for printing debug info to the screen. In order to set it, simple use .ToString().

 void SomeMethod
 {
 SomeScript.staticString = PlayerSettings.bundleVersion.ToString();
 }

This works when playing in the editor, but the issue is when I build for iOS. I get an error because PlayerSettings is editor only, iOS doesn't recognize it:

Assets/Scripts/DebugPrint.js(17,22): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'PlayerSettings'.

Is there a way to save off bundleVersion using an editor script that was I can access that variable from a regular script?

Well, that's what I just gave you. You save the value of bundleVeraion as a string in a monobehaviour.

But, of course you have to run that code from an editor script. I perhaps wrongly assumed you already were at that stage. :)

Static variables won't serialize, however, so you'll need a singleton instance (such as a main Game manager) with a non-static member to hold the version.
