This plugin defines a global BuildInfo object.

BuildInfo object is available at the time the deviceready event fires.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

function onDeviceReady() {
	console.log('BuildInfo.packageName    =' + BuildInfo.packageName);
	console.log('BuildInfo.basePackageName=' + BuildInfo.basePackageName);
	console.log('BuildInfo.displayName    =' + BuildInfo.displayName);
	console.log('BuildInfo.name           =' + BuildInfo.name);
	console.log('BuildInfo.version        =' + BuildInfo.version);
	console.log('BuildInfo.versionCode    =' + BuildInfo.versionCode);
	console.log('BuildInfo.debug          =' + BuildInfo.debug);
	console.log('BuildInfo.buildType      =' + BuildInfo.buildType);
	console.log('BuildInfo.flavor         =' + BuildInfo.flavor);
	console.log('BuildInfo.buildDate      =' + BuildInfo.buildDate);
