So, is it the "right thing" for two versions of the application to
have the same identifier?
That's the typical approach, although there are lots of apps that
change their identifier with each release too.
Spaces does identify apps strictly by bundle identifier, so if you
really want the ability to associate different versions of your app
with different spaces, then you must change the bundle identifier
for each application version. By doing that, you'll break any other
bindings that the user may have specified, for example to have
certain documents open with your application rather some other app.
Thank you for this useful information.
My only other question would involve whether or not there would be
undesirable side-effects by having different identifiers for different
versions of the application.
Are you (or anyone else) aware of any issues I should be aware of?
