I work on a project with a friend, can we use the same "bundle id"?. When I clone a project, and try to build it i got the error: "The app identifier "bundle id" cannot be registered to your development team.", then i change bundle id, and it works. But I don't want to do it each time i pull the new code from the server. How do I manage this ?

  • You shouldn't change `BundleId` of the app, but to configure development certificates for both developers. – Lew Winczynski Jan 17 '20 at 09:17
  • @LewWinczynski, do you have instruction how to configure this ? I'm just lost with all this provisioning profiles, buidle ids, app ids. I'm new to all of this, and all i want to do is just to be able to build without changing bundle ID, thats all i nedd :) – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 09:23

By changing bundleId on both devices, you are changing the signature of the app. Basically saying, you are splitting it into 2 different apps for AppStore. Bundle id should be unique for one app everywhere. As I see you have a problem with different developers accounts that want to use the same bundle id. Just try to add another developer to your Apple Developer Account giving an App Manager or Developer role, so he/she can work with any reserved bundle id's in your account. I highly recommend you to read iOS Development Team Administration

  • I seen this, there is nice picture with "1. create a team" - but i can't find any instructions how to create one, i browsed randomly whole developer portal and cant find a way to create a team :( – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 09:27
  • Open your iTunesConnect -> User & Roles, and add another developer into it giving respective role to him/her. Then he/she can get iOS development certificate out of your account for him/her. The rest is intuitive, you will see. – Lew Winczynski Jan 17 '20 at 09:29
  • so I go there, I add another user (send invitation), but i can see that "Apps" dropdown is acctually empty, what i want to share this "bundle id" just to be able to build, dont want to publish any app – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 09:39
  • So I added another developer there to "All Apps" but still can't build :) – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 09:41
  • Let them create an iOS developer certificate from your account. So they have access to your bundle ids. – Lew Winczynski Jan 17 '20 at 09:44
  • where do I create this, in iTunesConnect or someware else ? – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 09:51
  • have a look on this, but do for development: https://hyperpad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204378199-Create-a-Distribution-Provisioning-Profile – Lew Winczynski Jan 17 '20 at 09:54
  • my friend is an owner of the app, he followed this, and send mi p12 file, I dont know what do to with it now :) – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 10:15
  • :( There to many things involved here, apple developer, app store connect, certificates, profiles, xcode settings, keychain etc, etc, im just lost here, what i need is some step by step guide how to get rid of the error "The app identifier "bundle id" cannot be registered to your development team." – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 12:05
  • Your problem is that you are trying to develop one app from 2 different developer accounts. So, you have to add one dev into another to fix that. I have given you the steps: iTunesConnect -> User & Roles, add another developer, let him request iOS dev certificate in Xcode, and it will work. – Lew Winczynski Jan 17 '20 at 13:08
  • thanks for your patience, just to clarity: we both have buth have paid for a apple developer, but do we need some spacial organisation license or sth ? Question2: i found similar problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59784228/use-the-same-bundle-id-for-many-developers, so now im confused, which solution is possible in my case – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 14:03
  • sorry posted wrong link, should be https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38813674/xcode-sharing-the-same-bundle-id-among-multiple-people – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 14:11
  • the answer in that link solves the issue temporarily. i've described you the steps, did you even try it? – Lew Winczynski Jan 17 '20 at 15:55
  • Hi i followed the steps, created many certificates (even reach the limit, can generate more today!), recreating my keychain, creating publishing profiles etc, etc, and i also removed the app from the app store connect, and it finally somehow worked, but im not really sure what helped, as i tried so many stuff (i suspect removing app from app store connect helps), but i guess you helped me as well, dziękuje! – Samuraka Jan 17 '20 at 16:39
  • glad to hear that! bardzo proszę ;) – Lew Winczynski Jan 17 '20 at 17:48
  • The only thing that bothers me is, why this guy from the link i sent, had to put that in config ? – Samuraka Jan 18 '20 at 10:10
