Another approach is to use PlistBuddy with shell script...

short_version="$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy ./path/to/Info.plist -c "Print :CFBundleShortVersionString")"
bundle_version="$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy ./path/to/Info.plist -c "Print :CFBundleVersion")"
version="${short_version} (${bundle_version})"
