Description

It seems that every platform offers the ability to define an application version. iOS and Android offer string and numeric fields. They are versionName and versionCode on Android.

My request is to add the ability to access this app version info using Javascript. Perhaps adding an "app" namespace with app.versionName, app.versionCode and app.name...

It would be an easy enough plugin to write, but figured it should eventually become part of the core.
