[SailfishDevel] Retrieve application version

[jerome levreau]

hi,
to get version of MY app while running I'm creating a variable :

in .spec, add / change :
%qtc_qmake5  \
    VERSION=%{version}

in .pro add :
DEFINES += APP_VERSION=\"\\\"$${VERSION}\\\"\"

then in cpp, set version to the QGuiApplication :
app->setApplicationVersion(QString(APP_VERSION));

from qml :
Qt.application.version

from cpp :
QCoreApplication::applicationVersion();

Note, when you change version number, you need to to a full clean/rebuild
