How to get the current app version in Expo
April 26, 2020
You often want to show the version number of your app to the user.
In an Expo (React Native) app, you can do this using the expo-constants
package, provided by Expo.
First, install the package:
expo install expo-constants
Then, add the package to the file where you want to get the version number:
import Constants from "expo-constants"
Now, you can access Constants.manifest
, which is the current āmanifestā (app.json
file) of your app. The version number is available like this:
const version = Constants.manifest.version
