In the DNS system, the only legal non-alpha character is the underscore. While most systems are lenient about this, the Apple iPhone App Store portal is in fact not lenient, and will reject bundle identifiers that are not legal reverse-domain syntax.

Wait, a hyphen is not valid in a domain name? My company has been using write-brain.com for years.

According to STD 13, a hyphen is valid except as the first or last character in a label. Additionally, digits are valid except as the first character, and the underscore is invalid:


"The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, and hyphen. There are also some restrictions on the length. Labels must be 63 characters or less."
