    in General questions
    In the about part of my app i want to write the version of the app according to the date it was compiled. is there an automatic way to get this so i don't need to edit it manually all the time (as usually i do forget)?

      There is no builtin way, but you could write a plugin script to do that

      thanks for the fast answer,
      for me it would take too much time to write the script, so unless somebody else also likes the idea i have to live with the manual solution.

      Actually it is not that difficult: here is an example supporting android only:
      <plugin
 name="Build Date"
 description="Create a BUILD-DATE file in assets containg the build date">
  <target name="AndroidStudio,APK">
	<lua>
		local f=io.open(Export.getProperty("sys.exportDir").."/app/src/main/assets/assets/BUILD-DATE","w")
		f:write(os.time())
		f:close()
		local f=io.open(Export.getProperty("sys.exportDir").."/app/src/main/assets/assets/allfiles.txt","a+")
		f:write("BUILD-DATE\n")
		f:close()
	</lua>
 </target>
</plugin>
