I'm reading the iTunes Connect Developer Guide as I'm trying to add a new application to iTunes Connect.
I'm a bit confused about the SKU number
which I should provide. On page 81 in the above developer guide they provide an example of their data for their application Orange Ball.
They have chosen Orange_Ball_01
for the SKU Number. What is the 01
indicating - that it is version 1? Why use underscore? Why not just type “OrangeBall”, if that SKU is not used?
Update notes:
First create a build from Xcode with a specific version number (for instance 1.3. 0), archive and upload to iTunes Connect. Wait a few minutes for the build to process. Once the build has finished processing, make sure it's available on iTunes Connect by navigating to My Apps/Activity/iOS Builds.
I suggest a combination of the current year + month + ID for your app. So if you're developing your first application on september 1991 (oh,, yah it's my b'day's month and year :D ), you could put your SKU Number as “19910901” .
The SKU can not be changed and the Bundle ID can only be changed before the submission of the 1st build.
What Is a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU)? A stock-keeping unit (SKU) is a scannable bar code, most often seen printed on product labels in a retail store. The label allows vendors to automatically track the movement of inventory. The SKU is composed of an alphanumeric combination of eight-or-so characters.
You are able to choose one that you like, but it has to be unique.
Every time I have to enter the SKU I use the App identifier (e.g. de.mycompany.myappname
) because this is already unique.
