increment-version-code

A workflow that increases an app's build number by one on Android and iOS. The desktop target has no separate build-number field.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when producing a new Android or iOS build and reporting the old and new numbers.
Why use it?
It keeps the Android and iOS build numbers matched without changing the desktop release version.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

increment-version-code scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Increment the build number by exactly 1 on Android and iOS, keeping the two in sync.

Steps:

  1. Read app/build.gradle.kts and locate the versionCode = <N> line inside defaultConfig.
  2. Use the Edit tool to replace versionCode = <N> with versionCode = <N + 1>.
  3. Update the iOS build number to the same <N + 1>. In iosApp/iosApp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj the setting CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = <N>; appears twice (the Debug and Release build configs) and both must stay matched. Use the Edit tool with replace_all: true to replace CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = <N>; with CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = <N + 1>;. If the iOS value did not already equal the old Android <N>, do not silently overwrite it — stop and report the mismatch so the user can decide.
  4. Report the old and new value back to the user in a single short sentence, noting both platforms were bumped (e.g. versionCode / CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION: 12 → 13).

Desktop (the :desktopApp Compose Desktop target) has no separate build-number field — its release version is the marketing version (packageVersion in desktopApp/build.gradle.kts), kept in sync by the set-version-name skill. There is nothing to bump here for desktop.

Do not modify anything else. Do not create a commit. Do not touch versionName / MARKETING_VERSION / packageVersion.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
