App version from Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current - WP8.1

Even though I have an app version set as 3.0.4 both in WMAppManifest as Package.appxmanifest, Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current gives me 1.0.0.0

Any clues? This is how I'm trying to retrieve

var myPackage = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current;
var ver = myPackage.Id.Version;
string appVer = string.Format("{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}", ver.Major, ver.Minor, ver.Build, ver.Revision);

If this is a 8.1 universal app. Go to Package.appxmanifest file and click the packaging tab. There you can verify what values you are passing for Version (Major, Minor,Build,Revision)

Hope this helps.

If you have WMAppManifest in your project, your app is a Silverlight one, so the best way si to parse the WMAppManifest file and get the version from there, here is a sample: https://github.com/igorkulman/Kulman.WP8/blob/master/Kulman.WP8/Code/ManifestHelper.cs

You can set your app version in the AssemblyInfo.cs file like this :

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]

To retrieve it do this :

var nameHelper = new AssemblyName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName);
string sMyAppVersion = nameHelper.Version.ToString();
