Update Android Project Version

It will update the version name and the version code in both build.gradle and AndroidManifest.xml.

About AndroidManifest.xml

Version information should not be in the AndroidManifest.xml since this information is overridden by build.gradle.

See https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning for further informations.

For that reason react-native-apply-version will only write in the AndroidManifest.xml if android:versionCode and/or android:versionName are already in the file.

It will update the CFBundleShortVersionString and the CFBundleVersion in Info.plist, using the versionName and versionCode respectively, these will be extracted from the versin field in your package.json, using the format specified above.
