In a newer version of my app, I updated it to conform to a new protocol, but I want the old version of the app (whose xcodeproj I still have) to still be around on my device in case I need the old protocol.

To be clear this is not going out to customers, but I want a way to have two versions of my app on my phone. How would I go about doing this? My Bundle identifier is currently me.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier} and I've heard things about changing that, but if I add a 2 before rfc1034... and run it it still installs over the app. What should I change it to if it's that?

    You can add a new target (duplicate the old one) and change the Product Name in the build settings... – Mike Pollard Feb 03 '14 at 15:58

  • Thanks for the reminder, rmaddy. If you look through my questions, the vast majority have accepted answers, I've just lagged behind lately. – Doug Smith Feb 03 '14 at 16:16

Your current bundle identifier is using the product name so you will need to change this to create this second version you want.

Go into the project target and choose build then find packaging. Change the product name here and you should find it works.

Use two different bundle identifier. In you case you can delete ${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier} in info-plist and give some hardcoded value which is different from your product name or you can change the product name in build setting of your target.
