  • 0

I’m ready to submit my first app to the App Store, however I’m having trouble filling out some of the “Info.plist” fields. I don’t want my app to be rejected because I did this wrong.

These are the fields I’m having trouble with:

Executable file,
Bundle identifier,
Bundle name and Bundle creator OS Typecode

Can you put anything on these fields or are you suppose to use certain values or names such the “App ID” given by Apple for your application?
I already have an “App ID” for my app but I don’t have a website for my app yet.

Thank you for your help!

    To work with Hotpaw2's answer:

    Bundle creator is an obsolete
    4-character field for iOS apps. I
    leave it blank with no problems.

    Leave this blank, as stated. (I used to write APLM for “Apple Mobile”).

    Bundle name is what appears under your
    icon. Make sure it fits under the
    icon. It has to be not misleadingly
    different from your app’s name.

    For example, I have an app called Jewish Music Stream. I put JewishMusic in this field. It fits and it is similar to my app name. If I wrote Death Metal, I may have been rejected because that genre has nothing to do with what’s offered in the app. If I would have written Jewish Music Stream, it would have appeared as Jewi...Stream or something like that.

    Bundle ID is your unique reverse DNS.
    You don’t have to have a web site for
    this particular app. But your
    registered web domain and a unique app
    name (or web page) would be
    appropriate for this field (reversed
    of course). It has to be compatible
    with you provision (which might be
    wildcarded). The Bundle ID should not
    have the wildcard.

    Mine was com.yetanotheriphoneapp.jms

    The restriction on product file name
    is no spaces or special characters.
    Nobody sees it, so it can be almost
    anything (unique for your apps and
    non-misleading). I’ve had old obsolete
    project names on mine, but the apps
    were still accepted.

    The truth is that people can see your app name if they have Xcode, or if they look into the iTunes folder for the actual binaries. This makes no difference, but it’s an interesting habit – naming your binaries.

    Good luck to you and may you make many successful apps!
