Provides infrastructure to help us track exactly what build of the app is running. This provides the ability to implement a number of features in the future
- Displaying build version in an About screen
- Automatically versioning with Git commit count as an incrementing version number
- Injection of secrets, API keys, or other behaviors into the build so that the app can leverage them at runtime. The secrets can be securely stored as environment variables (e.g. on CI), so they don't need to be committed to the repository.
