Reading things like,
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1373.html
which discuss CFBundleIdentifier, the example always given for what it
should look like is of the form:
com.mycompany.MyApp
My question is, as different versions, of the same application, are
released, it is a good idea or recommended that the CFBundleIdentifier
reflect the version of the application as well. For example, one might
have:
com.mycompany.MyApp2007
com.mycompany.MyApp2008
com.mycompany.MyApp2009
If it is not a good idea or not recommended, why?
The tech note above does say:
Note: Most Xcode templates give a generic default value for
CFBundleIdentifier to try to avoid as many problems as possible. It is
still important to set your own unique value, however, as applications
with identical CFBundleIdentifier values will override each other.
While it is obviously important that two different applications (say a
word processor and a game) have unique identifiers, it isn't clear to
me that different versions of the same application should have a
unique identifier as there are other items in a plist for declaring
the version of the application.
