Xcode 14 and missing sync with CFBundleVersion edit in Info.plist during Build/Archive

In my iOS apps, i have a script (a build phase actually) that upgrades the target’s Info.plist CFBundleVersion to a number related to the git commit count. I’ve been using for a while and it works for me, never a problem.

On Xcode 14, something has changed and the script keeps working (i mean the .plist file is correctly updated) but applications no longer shows the correct build number and it’s missing on Archive too.
I’ll add some screenshot (of a blank new project, so no settings have been altered in times).

This is Target’s General Tab in Xcode 14 This is Target's General Tab

This is Target’s Info TabTarget's Info Tab

This is Info.plist file correctly updated by Build Phase ScriptInfo.plist file

In previous Xcode versions, on Target’s General Tab i used to have the build number synced with the one in .plist file and it was also synced when Archiving builds.

Now, if i try to archive the build, it goes out as 1.0(1).

Am I missing something or am I doing something wrong?

Hope you can understand my English.
Thanks for your help.

    I use xcconfig for set version and build in Xcode.
    In Base.xcconfig set

    MARKETING_VERSION = 22.47.0
CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = 221125.1437

    Pay attention if you using CocoaPods you should create Release and Debug xcconfig with content
    Debug.xcconfig

    #include "../Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-{SET_PROJECT_HERE}/Pods-{SET_PROJECT_HERE}.debug.xcconfig"
#include "Base.xcconfig"

    Release.xcconfig

    #include "../Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-{SET_PROJECT_HERE}/Pods-{SET_PROJECT_HERE}.release.xcconfig"
#include "Base.xcconfig"

    Set values in info.plist

    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>$(MARKETING_VERSION)</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>$(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION)</string>

    Hope its help

    Feb 20th, 2023, my temporary solution:

    step 0: delete the system generated info.plist

    step 1: move all settings to your plist file as you did years ago and rename it to any+info.plist

    step 2: after adding your any+info.plist file to project, delete it from ‘Build phase copy bundle’

    step 3: search build setting and make ALL "Generate info.plist" to NO

    step 4: search ‘Infor.plist File’ and give the correct file path of you file

    step 5: use this run script

    #!/bin/bash

    buildNumber=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "$INFOPLIST_FILE")
    buildNumber=$(($buildNumber + 1))
    /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleVersion $buildNumber" "$INFOPLIST_FILE"

    step 6: leave a real number in your plist as the bundle version e.g.100

    step 7: clean build folder, restart Xcode 14, and build the project

    Good Luck!
