Behaviour

When invoked, react-native-versioner will make the following changes to your project files:

Update Package Version

The version attribute in package.json will be updated with the specified parameter versionName.

Update Android Project Version

It will update the version name and the version code in both build.gradle and AndroidManifest.xml with the specified parameter versionName. and versionCode.

About AndroidManifest.xml

Version information should not be in the AndroidManifest.xml since this information is overridden by build.gradle.

See https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning for further informations.

For that reason react-native-versioner will only write in the AndroidManifest.xml if android:versionCode and/or android:versionName are already in the file.
