That information now includes three more fields:\n\n- `version`, a version number\n\n- `versionBase`, the version it is based on\n\n- `buildTime`, when it was built\n\n**Why**\n\nCrash reports and usage data can now be tied to an exact build, which helps when working out which builds a problem affects.\n\n- Area: Telemetry\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
