"About " content

[annunal]

If I create a completely new briefcase project the scripts asks for title, version, description etc and finally produces the app toml that is then used to build the app.

The information provided at the beginning are then used in the "About" menu item . I tried to chaneg later on the information that are in the toml file to update the description or the verison but thiose information are ignored. Where are them stored and where I can change them ?

Thanks

This information is updated in the same way as your app's own Python code – by running briefcase update android or briefcase run android -u.

Unfortunately not. If I run

briefcase update android
briefcase run android

it is not updated in the output apk

Some data is hardcoded in to the build when it is created; therefore, it may be necessary to re-run briefcase create android (or just delete the build directory) when that information is updated.

Thanks a lot. It worked. :)

I have deleted the whole build directory and re-done the build. Now the About is correct.
