Is there a system field that you can use to display the version on the app screen that’s entered during the app build process?

I am fairly certain that this is not possible in this version on M1. The version in the app builder is used for packaging the app and is not accessible through code. I agree that this would be a useful addition to M1. Maybe add it to the Suggestions forums so it gets added to a future release.

Couldn’t you just display text on the app that gives the version number or is that too easy?

Yes, displaying it in a text box is one solution. However, if you want to display your app version throughout the app and across multiple screens, it may be useful to set the version in the project properties and then access it globally to avoid manual edits. Visual Studio has this functionality and it is convenient. Of course, there are ways to do add this same functionality currently through the use of a global variable.

I usually use Photoshop to display app version; either on the startup screen (all sizes), or as an image on an “About” page in the app itself. In one app, it’s just a text field. Keep it simple. This is not a complex issue.
