App store connect build number error

[doctordru]

Hi,

We are unable to build our iOS app. We get the following error 👇

++ app-store-connect get-latest-app-store-build-number $APP_ID
Found build number 1.34.57 from App Store version 1.34.0
+ LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER=1.34.57
/var/folders/w2/rrf5p87d1bbfyphxc7jdnyvh0000gn/T/build_script_8_1_3q_ai5vl: line 6: 1.34.57 + 1: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".34.57 + 1")

It seems like the behaviour of get-latest-app-store-build-number since the last time we ran it to cut a native release. From memory it used to return an integer we could increment.

Our codemagic yml step is as documented in the CodeMagic documentation.

      - name: Increment build number
        script: |
          #!/bin/sh
          set -e
          set -x
          cd $CM_BUILD_DIR/mobile/ios
          LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER=$(app-store-connect get-latest-app-store-build-number "$APP_ID")
          agvtool new-version -all $(($LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER + 1))

Hi @doctordru, bash can parse 1 as a number but failing to do the same for .34.57, the error is about it. The solution here is to increment 1.34.57 to some integer in the project, then it will be automatically fixed and incremented accordingly.

Checking your email about the chat widget now, please send me your team ID, I will check it for your team.

Not sure I fully understand what you mean here. Do you mean we need to change this in the App Store or in our codemagic pipeline. This was working previously, so I assume that the build number format that this command returns has changed

app-store-connect get-latest-app-store-build-number "$APP_ID"

I've run into this just now as well, and I can see @icarusdust is giving us the solution. We need to use an integer like 1 or 2 instead of 1.2.3 (or in your case 1.34.57). I'm not sure how to achieve this with an app that's already built and submitted previously, but hopefully I can find a way to do that soon...

I thought a good workaround might be to just set the number instead of trying to increment here for one build, so like this:

script: |
LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER=2
agvtool new-version -all $(($LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER + 1))

And then we could set it back to the increment version once we have a passing build:
script: |
LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER=$(app-store-connect get-latest-app-store-build-number "$APP_STORE_APP_ID")
agvtool new-version -all $(($LATEST_BUILD_NUMBER + 1))

I now realize that there is actually a function for updating to the next integer that looks like this:
agvtool next-version -all

But after getting another error about short version string I decided to just bail on the automated incrementing and just assign version numbers using the information I learned from here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1827/_index.html

I ended up just setting the version numbers manually on both the build version and marketing version for now:
script: |
agvtool new-marketing-version 3.0.0
agvtool new-version -all 3.0.0

I was able to build my app and finally get past this error using this method, and will just have to remember to increment these values for future builds. I hope this helps anyone who comes across this problem!
