About Xcode's Agvtool command line

Summary: How to use Agvtool to automatically update version numbers and Bulid versions Agvtool is a command-line tool that allows you to automatically increment these numbers to the next highest number or specific number. This document provides a step-by-step instruction to update your build and version numbers using Agvtool. The "Xcode" and "Command line" sections show the steps and command lines that are performed separately in Xcode.
