App version reported incorrectly on Android (some apps want versionName, others versionCode)

[NumaNumaNuma]

Hi,

The app version seems to be reported incorrectly, using the build number instead of the app version number. I'm using the 2.12.0 sdk.
From my dashboard:

Looks like it was reported in 2017 on the iOS SDK but maybe this wasn't fixed in the Unity SDK?
I saw someone suggest we use tags to store app versions so I'll do that in the mean time 👍

@NumaNumaNuma You can use an device type of IOS and App Version as filters on a Segment in the mean time.

The problem isn't filtering, it's the number being wrong :)
eg. app version 1.5.1 will be reported as version 1, version 1.9.0 will be reported as version 0.

@NumaNumaNuma Not sure how Unity generates the bundle version but if you can't change it in Unity it can be changed in Xcode .

Unity generates it fine, it's just OneSignal reporting the build number instead of the bundle version:

I'd expect to see 1.9.12 as the version but instead I get 3 :)
Probably a bug in the OneSignal Unity sdk grabbing the wrong part from the Unity api?

I have the same issue with OneSignal Unity SDK (v. 2.13.4). My Unity version is 2019.4.13f1. In the OneSignal dashboard in the "Audience" > "All Users" tab in the "APP VERSION" column I see wrong values (build number instead of the app version).

I've just looked at the resulting AndroidManifest.xml inside my APK (values are edited):
android:versionCode="1111" android:versionName="2222"

In the OneSignal dashboard I see this "1111" value which is actually a build number. I want to see "2222" value because it is my app version.

@VasylRomanets-MoonActive Thanks for the suggestion. OneSignal only collects versionCode for android and doesn't send versionName. Depending on the user I could see someone wanting either.

In the short term we don't plan to change or add collection and storage of another version value. I would recommend using sendTag to set the version format you want to track in the meantime.

I would also like to see this fixed. Or at least add a buildNumber so that the devs can choose the one they care about
