app store submit process (BundleID)

Question

Just a simple question about the submit process for AppSore using Xcode 4 (I know already asked, but didn't work for me).

I have my app ready for publish. I have all my certificates, and I can see my provisioning profile with an ID such as xxxxxxx.com.blabla.App.

If I set my Xcode project identifier to com.blabla.App I can select my distribution certificate (it indicates "for Application Identifiers com.blabla.App ").

The project compiles but when I try to submit the App I get the following error

The bundle ID com.blabla.App" defined in your Xcode Project does not match the Bundle ID you entered for this app in iTunes connect xxxxxx.com.blabla.App.

If I try to use this bundle (xxxxxx.com.blabla.App) in the Xcode project, then I cannot select the certificated, is for (com.blabla.App) apps.

I know the solution should be very simple, but, It's mu first time :).

thanks

Answer 1

Just spent 12 hours resolving this so thought I would contribute my 2 cents:

1. The Bundle Identifier should be com.companyname.appname - this has to be the same as the Bundle ID when you create your app in iTunes Connect
2. Your Bundle Seed ID (App ID Prefix) ie. 10 digit code SHOULD NOT be entered into xcode nor the bundle ID when creating your app above. The only place you will see it is the App ID within PROVISIONING PORTAL > App IDs. This was very confusing - basically just enter the above (com.companyname.appname) for App ID SUFFIX

FYI the order from scratch should be:

1. Get Certificates for Developer and Distribution in Provisioning Portal > Certificates
2. Create APP IDs in Provisioning Portal > App ID
3. Create Provisioning profile for Dev and Distr in Provisioning Portal > Provisioning
4. Finally create the app in iTunes Connect

oh and in case you delete your app but lose your name: http://hesh.am/2012/01/recovering-a-deleted-app-name-in-itunes-connect/
