<![CDATA[Getting client app version]]>Hi!
How can we get the client app version (sometimes referred to as the gameVersion) into a BrainCloud script (for the current session)?

Yes, it will be nice to have a separate API but for now, the solution suggested by you works for us.

I'll discuss with the devs.

In the meantime, you can get this info by creating a post-hook for the Authenticate call.

The script that you hook into the call will receive the appVersion (field "gameVersion" internally) as a STRING in a "data.callingMessage.gameVersion" field.

I've attached a sample script that stores the gameVersion to the session cache (and writes a log message stating the gameVersion received).

To try it:

  • Import the script
  • Go to Design | Cloud Code | API Hooks and configure the hook as a POST hook for the Authenticate service, Authenticate Operation
  • Go to the API Explorer and do a test login. Be sure to set the "appVersion" in the JSON (by default it is "").
  • Info Messages, hit [Refresh] to see the log with your app version.

Hope that helps!

Paul.
