Just curious, is there any rule or anything when choosing an identifier for your application. The default is "com.apple.myCocoaApp", should we go with "com.apple.<myappname>" or just use the appname, or possibly "com.<mycompanyname>.<myappname>"?

Thanks a lot,

Use a Java-style reverse domain name, followed by the app name.

In your case, it should be "net.adelphia.users.ftolmasky.MyAppName".

In my case, I use "com.skwdev.MacFOH", but could also be "com.macfoh.MacFOH" or possibly even "com.macfoh.app" or just "com.macfoh". In private frameworks that are contained in my various products, I chose to name them by appending .framework, like "com.skwdev.SKWBase.framework", and plug-ins are named based on their host, but without the .plugin tag (since there are several I use), so they look like "com.skwdev.Remote" or "com.skwdev.MacFOH.Analyzer.DelayFinder", etc. Regardless, since I have authority over the skwdev.com and macfoh.com domains, they can be expected to be unique.
