Hi,

I am trying to brainstorm a solution to be able to get the application version of our custom application stored as a column within MobiControl. We have many app versions deployed in the field depending on customer type etc and being able to easily see this in a column would help tremendously.  I would think this is somewhat doable, since Mobi certainly knows the versions of apps installed.

I have looked through Custom Data, etc but I don't see a way I can do this at the moment without a text/ini file available.  Our development team could look at changing our application to write version number to a text file, but getting a new version deployed to 3000+ devices is cumbersome as a fix.  Not to mention that our app can't be updated while in use, so app updating is a nightmare at times for scheduling when devices are not in use all around the country in vehicles.  That's a different soap box.

Does anyone know of a way to have a column show a specific app version without grabbing from txt/ini file?
