I have created a wildcard App ID and have some questions about bundle ID validity for my app. I don’t have a company; I am publishing under my own name.
1) Would a bundle ID, “MyName.CoolAppName” be valid?
2) Or do I have to write, “com.MyName.CoolAppName” ?
3) Or could I use simply use “CoolAppName” ?
Thanks!
All of these are valid, however, there is a reason people usually use a reverse domain naming system for creating App ID’s.
The most important thing to remember is every App ID created, by anyone, has to be unique. So if someone else has already made a ‘CoolAppName’ App ID, you are going to be out of luck.
Most people use the standard com.companyname.appname because it’s easy to read, it’s standardized, and it’s almost definitely going to be unique.
Naming your App ID in a different fashion isn’t going to make a ton of difference, but I’d suggest following the standard.
