Use something else that feels unique to you and/or your app?
Most of them seem to be com.companyname.appname and something like
nz.co.cocoa.myapp (rather than com.) seems kind of weird. I didn't
want to use such a funny looking identifier without finding out for
sure whether it's meant to be a backwards domain name and why.
Why is nz.co.cocoa.myapp funnier than com.apple.itunes?
I can think of one reason - that it goes from the general to the
specific which means the files are grouped nicely when alphabetically
sorted - but the com or nz.co bit doesn't really add anything useful
to that. There's nothing useful in grouping apps by country,
especially since the .coms come from all over the place anyway.
As Joar pointed out, it's about namespace. If you happen to own a
domainname that's a pretty good identifier, your own namespace. You own
the name and everything below it.
If you don't have a domainname use something else. How about
"AngelaBrettsExcellentSoftware.myapp"?
Cheerio,
Malte
