I am creating a project named '99miles'. Upon doing so, the bundle ID that was expected to end with '.99miles' is now '.-9miles'. This happens with project names starting with digits(0-9) and some special characters.

First character with digits and all special characters are replaced with '-'.

I want the bundle id to end with '.99miles'

  1. Why is this happening.
  2. Should I go for force replacing of _9miles with 99miles after creating project?

  • You can choose your own bundle identifier as long as it is available – Akshansh Thakur May 23 '16 at 08:45
  • Thanks @AkshanshThakur. Yes I can force change the bundle ID, but that makes this kind of conversion pointless. I suppose there must be a reason for this and force change might break things. – BangOperator May 23 '16 at 08:51
  • See, if you understand bundle ID, you'd know that they are just used for creating provision profiles or integrating with SDK's (for e.g. Facebook). So, don't worry about it. A suggested bundle id though, is of form : com.yourusername.appname or com.yourusername.appname.ios something like that is widely accepted – Akshansh Thakur May 23 '16 at 08:59
  • AFAIK bundle ID has nothing to do with 'integrating with SDK's'. Check this https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/ConfiguringYourApp/ConfiguringYourApp.html – BangOperator May 23 '16 at 09:12
  • Well, this doc tells that Bundle ID's have to be unique to your app. I think that is a common knowledge. What I was saying is that from my career in ios Development, I have used bundle ID at only two places, while adding SDK's to my app or to create provision profile. It hasnt 'affected' my app in any way. and reverse domain is what I told you eg. "com.whatever.whatever" Check this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_domain_name_notation This is what happens, your bundle id is concatenation of product name and organization id. – Akshansh Thakur May 23 '16 at 09:22
  • In your case bundle id wasnt exactly what you wanted, so I suggested custom reverse domain name. I hope this helps :) – Akshansh Thakur May 23 '16 at 09:23

  • Have you solved you problem? I have the same...can't use digits.. – Stas Oct 03 '17 at 12:45
