Hi,
I am a bit baffled by how I am supposed to use an Application ID for an iPhone app. I have registered on the portal and have an Application ID which I can see within Xcode in my provisioning profile. It is a 10-character string followed by ".*"
>From the Developer documents it appears that this should be added to the bundle identifier information in the application info.plist file in Xcode. At present this is just the default of com.yourcompany.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}. So I'm confused by the fact that I can deploy my app to my iPhone with no problem - if the Application ID is essential how am I able to send my app to my iPhone?
If I read it right (and I probably don't) I think I need to put this in my bundle identifier in the plist file:
GFWOTNXFIY.com.skeyn.IPNeatApp
Is that correct? If so, how come I can deploy my app? If it is not correct, what is the Application ID for?
The second confusion is also in the docs, where it says:
"Note: Regardless of the format used by the iPhone application ID, application bundles must always include
the application name in their bundle identifier."
Does this mean that I have to explicitly put the real name of my app (IPNeatApp in the bogus example above) into the bundle identifier rather than ${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}?
Any illumination gratefully received.
Ian.
