For MATLAB releases R2019b or later:
Standalone application file version (Windows only) is available since R2019b. The version value can be reviewed by right clicking on the EXE file, selecting "Properties" and then selecting "Details".
For MATLAB releases before R2019b:
When installing a standalone application using web installer, the web installer shows the version number of a standalone application. However, there is no way to retrieve the version number of a standalone application after installing it using web installer. The developers are informed of this enhancement. One workaround to this issue could be to include the following command in a MATLAB script and then compiling it to a standalone application:
>> h = msgbox('Version number: <your_app_version_number>');
In this case, replace <your_app_version_number> with whatever version number you want to display with the message (ex: V1.02).
This will display a message box containing version number of an application on a deployment machine.
Alternatively, you can also include a code in your MATLAB script to write a text file which contains information regarding author, version and so on. For that, "fprintf" command in MATLAB can be used.
