Cannot change version or build number in Xcode

Question

I'm trying to change the version and build number in iOS project in Xcode (under Targets->General->Identity), but for some reason no matter what I type, my typing is removed and the value won't change. Is this not the correct place to modify this value?

Going to Targets->General->Info allows me to change the value, but doesn't remember the change after I navigate away from the screen.

Answer 1

In your project navigator on the left you should have a file named AppName-Info.plist. You can change the Build Version along with a bunch of other project settings here.

Answer 2

Change the fields in the info.plist file like this

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>$(MARKETING_VERSION)</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>$(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION)</string>
