No, you should not pre-pend the 10-character app ID to your bundle identifier, Xcode will do that automatically. -- David Duncan Apple DTS Animation and Printing ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

How do you use an Application ID for an iPhone application
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.

Re: How do you use an Application ID for an iPhone application
It's simple once you get it to work the first time. If you made your
provision for the domain com.skeyn then in the properties tab your
identifier should be com.skeyn.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier} The
last part of this is a macro that xcode will use to figure out what it
needs to properly sign it.
Xcode should make a good guess what provision you want to use but you
need to check the build settings. Look at the Code Signing Identity
setting. From the pop up list you can make sure that it wants to use
the right one and you can correct it if you need to. You typically
have at least one for development and another for ad hoc builds. Later
you'll need another for store or enterprise distribution.

Re: How do you use an Application ID for an iPhone application
Matthew,
Thanks - that seems a bit clearer. I'm still not clear though what, if any, use
I need to make of the Application ID. From your reply it appears that I don't
use it as a prefix in the bundle identifier after all. Is that right?
Ian.
