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?
In most cases I would expect that one would change the CFBundleVersion
and other version-related items in the Info.plist rather than the
bundle identifier. There might be cases in which one would want to
change the bundle identifier, though--perhaps for a sweeping, clean-
break change in the app. Remember that preferences and the like are
keyed off of the bundle identifier, so changing it would give you some
work to do in migrating older settings.
