I wanted to update the Project Attributes outside of the IDE so as to increment the Version Code, Application Label etc.
I can now do this using a custom build action at Stage 1. Of course when the project is compiled, the compiler sees the old version of the file so it is one version behind.
The interesting thing is that the IDE allows an external editor to change the .b4a file and after a delay of about 30 seconds the result is visible in the IDE. I was expecting this file to be locked for writing outside the IDE but apparently not.
My question is, what parameters affect the updating of the file in the IDE and can this be triggered in any way?
