iTunes Connect: How to change the bundle id prior to app submission?

We are getting ready to upload our app. At this point, itunes connect information has been entered. The problem is, 开发者_JS百科we decided to change the name of our app from

ourAppMobile -> ourApp

The concern is that in iTunesConnect the Bundle ID is listed as: com.ourcompany.ourAppMobile

But, we have changed our app name to ourApp.

What to do? Can the Bundle ID be changed in iTunes Connect. If so, how? If not, what to do?

Thanks.

As you suspect there is no possibility to change the Bundle ID or better say App ID Suffix. Your only solution to make a new Bundle ID and upload the app with this ID. This Bundle ID is which make your app unique on the AppStore and follows it thorough all its lifespan and based on this iTunes recognize it from upgrade to upgrade.

The Bundle Display Name is totally different, and you can change as you like in line with Apple guidance. The APP ID prefix could be the same for various apps but it's again not the Bundle ID you are asking for.

Actually I don't really understand why do you bother with the internal name of the app as this will be unseen for the users. It's just a string nothing else, nobody use it or read it. The APP ID suffix could be anything even different from the Apple recommendation of com.companyname etc., and the only limitation that it has to be different from another APP ID, this is why it's unique and you couldn't change it any more.

In your Info.plist for project add/modify value for CFBundleDisplayName (aka 'Bundle Display Name') to the desired app name. Then rebuild.

If your app name contains a space then you will need to take an extra step in the midst of validation process. Check this out.

From another forum....

"You can either go ahead with the original bundle Id (these are always your choice as long as they are unique or wildcard for your account) or abandon that effort and start over with a new ID and upload using it. However, you will have to change the app name too..."

In my case, I did not want to change the app name in iTunes Connect or so I'm keeping the bundle id I originally entered as suggested.
