Part of it is old-fogeyism, because it annoys me that the bundle ID might change without an explicit edit. Part of it is to force it to lower case. But the main part of it is that once you’ve created an explicit app ID in the developer portal, you don’t want to have to change the bundle ID, *even if* you decide to change the product name in the Xcode project.

I'd like to hear others' opinions about changing these to hard-coded values instead of the confusing, barely-documented rfc1034identifier crap. Really, the first time I saw $(PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier) in my Info.plist I thought the file was corrupt. That's NOT a good, human-readable (not even programmer-readable) thing to do. I'm with you on the old-fogeyism, but I also think it's neat when things just work automatically if I decide to change the app name, because I sure would want the UTI to change as well. The only problem is that horrible way that Apple is doing it.
