Over the past few hours it feels like I've created App names, App ids, company name and all the rest with Apple and now I can't remember what's what.
I need to fill in the following for bundle identifier for my .plist file in xcode4:
com.mycompanyname.myappname
Where can i find this info on my account itunesconnect.apple.com?
Update:
The bit I'm having trouble with is finding my Company Name
If you're looking to find a list of existing bundle ID's, click here to go to the iOS Provisioning Portal. You will be prompted to log in.
Once you are logged in, look for the sidebar:
Then, click on "App IDs" and scroll down.
If you're looking for an App ID that you've set up for a specific app in the iTunes Connect portal, follow these steps:
First of all, log in to iTunes Connect.
Next, click on "Manage Your Applications".
You will see a list of your apps. Click on the one whose details you want to see.
You will t*hen see your apps details as well as some buttons. Your information should be in the top left corner, like so:
To find your Company Name, you should simply log into iTunes Connect. It will be in the top right corner.

I've registered for the Apple Developer Program as an organization.
When I added a new App, I set my developer name into the Company Name field, other data and clicked Create.
This developer name will appear under the app icon after the app is approved for the App Store. But I want to verify the information entered before approval.
Where can I check the data I have entered in the form? the screenshot below explains what info I want to check screenshot of appstore page
Since I have no Company Name Field, probably because I have an individual account(?), I do not find this field anywhere. But the App Name is located under [Your App] → AppStore → General: App Information.
To check the information you have entered in the Apple Developer Program, follow these steps:
Go to the Apple Developer website (developer.apple.com).
Sign in with your Apple ID.
Click on the "Account" tab in the top menu.
Scroll down to the "Organization Information" section and click on the "Edit" button.
This will open a form where you can view and edit the information you have entered for your organization, including your developer name and other details.
Make any necessary changes to the information and click "Save" to update your account.
You can also view the details of your app by going to the "My Apps" section of the Apple Developer website. From here, you can click on the app to view its details and make any necessary changes.
I'm getting the stated error when trying to upload an app submission to itunes connect on an organization I am a member of, but who's itunes connect username is different than my my apple developer ID.
The problem is I have a single Apple Developer ID I use for all my IOS development across multiple organizations. my.name#gmail.com That id has been added to multiple organizations in the IOS Member Center. On Itunes Connect however, it does not let you add an existing Apple ID (or existing Itunes Connect user on a different organization) as a new user to an organization.
So if I'm a member of 3 organizations, each one uses a different Itunes Connect email, usually the email for that org, not my main gmail Apple ID.
When trying to upload using XCode, I get this error since they don't match. How can I work around this? I fixed it for one organization only by using my co-worker's ID which matched for his appleID+itunes user. However I'd like to be able to do it on my own.
I tried adding individual org emails as xcode emails, however none of them are Apple Developer accounts, and Xcode refuses to use them.
How can I upload my app to a new org I'm a member of on Itunes connect??
EDIT
I tried using the Application Loader tool from Xcode menu, and I get a different kind of error shown below. I tried with App Store Build and Ad Hoc build. This is a development build only at this point which I hope to use for internal testing via Itunes Connect Testflight, so we're not using Release/AppStore provisioning profiles yet, nor have we even created them yet.
EDIT 2
Apple docs say:
"A single Apple ID can be associated with multiple Member Center teams. Using the same Apple ID, you can enroll as an individual and join other teams. However, you can only be associated with a single iTunes Connect team. Consequently, developers should create another Apple ID for different individual or company accounts that they want to manage separately in iTunes Connect."
This is true for itunes connect. But how does one then submit builds to these other itunes connect accounts, from xcode?
I was able to sort this out and thought I'd share for others looking for answers. Because I have a single apple developer id and multiple iTunes Connect ids, that is the core of the problem. Xcode would not let me put and use a non-developer account id into the user preferences. The solution was to use the Application Loader tool.
An Overview of necessary steps, which I use for every deployment now:
Make sure your Release build is using a Distribution provisioning profile and not just a development one. Don't use "Automatic" either, even if it sometimes works. I use an App Store profile, even for test flight releases via ITC. Create the provisioning profile on apple's ios center manually, call it something obvious like "[APP_NAME] App Store Distribution". Then in the Xcode build settings, set the release profile to this name. Secondly, make sure the Code Signing developer is the one on this profile, it doesn't always toggle default to that.
Archive your app as usual to generate the build.
Do not "submit" app from organizer, instead do an export, export to file.
When prompted, choose "App Store Submission" instead of "Ad hoc", otherwise it will fail.
In Xcode open Xcode->Open Developer Tool->Application Loader
From here you can add/select any of your itunes connect users independent of Xcode.
Choose "deliver your app" to submit, and choose the exported build file.
This should get the upload to itunes connect. If you are using TestFlight in ITC and it is setup, this will result in a new TestFlight push.
When creating a new app for each organization I work with, I always setup the new Distribution profile immediately, don't start using "Automatic" or let Xcode "Fix it...", as these may work once, but will likely cause issues or failed releases later. Always name your profiles to include the app name, distribution and App Store, as once you start doing this a lot it is easy to confuse them if you're just naming them non descriptively like "MyApp's profile".
"No eligible software" suggests that either the appID doesn't exist or it exists on the wrong developer account (perhaps Xcode auto created).
Check the team you're using normally (if it's wrong, XC might have done something useful but in the wrong account). Start with Xcode Preferences > Accounts then details of the preferred and current teams in question. After that, check in the devcenter (making sure you're logged in as the team you're trying to submit under) - check your appIDs and see if the app you're expecting to see there actually is.
Also make sure the iTunes Connect account you're using to upload has the "technical" role (per https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/UsingiTunesConnect/UsingiTunesConnect.html)
In my case the problem was I didn't realized that "Application Loader" has a login!
So I just select Window menu / Sign In as.. And enter the same developer account I used to create the "certificate and provision files", that I used to compile the app.
Please match the bundle Id from itunesConnect & Xcode.
I was getting same error & solved with bundleID.
Change your Application Loader user account to application's signed user account.
I am facing a strange issue that I have never faced before. I created a new appID with new Bundle ID, but it is not showing up in itunesconnect "Bundle ID".I googled it and i found some questions regarding this, but only questions there are no answers on it. is there any way to tackling this issue, any help much appreciated.
Thanks.
Try to sign out, and then sign in to itunesconnect site. it worked for me
I just had to create an App Id and then log out of iTunes connect and back in again.
iTunes connect is truly awful.
I've seen this happen myself from time to time, but so far it's always been down to a delay in iTunes Connect and has sorted itself out without me doing anything other than waiting!
Like this guy here, the solution for me was wait, so apple could process my new id. (about 6 hours or so).
For me it was to check the removed apps list — someone has already used that Bundle ID and removed the app associated with it before.
for me i sorted it out by emailing to Apple about the issue, then i got solution for that.
Edit
At that time when i had that issue, nothing did work for me i tried reload, refresh, sign out, restart system, nothing worked out.
I left with no option but to email to Apple on their support email, they fixed that manually for me. now it could be possible with reload page or sign out and sign in i am not sure.
Well there is nothing specific in email to apple on there technical support, just mention you are facing that problem, they might set this up manually for you. hope you got it.
Login to member centre and create a distribution profile using the same app id which you are going to use in the iTunes Connect. Then logout from iTunes Connect and Login again and try. It will show the Bundle ID in the drop down menu.
Hope this will help you.
If you tried to create the app record and if the app or bundle id does not appear:
In order for you to be able to see the app record in iTunes Connect, the team agent of the account must login and adjust your settings so that you are able to view the app.
Please provide the team agent with the following steps to add your access to the app.
In the Users and Roles pane, select the user you want to edit by clicking on their Apple ID.
Select the Roles pane.
In the Apps window, the team agent can add the newly created app to the users access, by selecting the down arrow in the window, and choosing the new app.
Once the new app is added, click Save.
Once this information has been updated by the team agent, you will be able to view the app in iTunes Connect.
Refreshing and sign out/signing in again doesn't worked.
In my case what worked is to contact apple support team for the concern, they added it manually and it was there after waiting for 24 hours.
For me the issue was that we had previously deleted/archived the apps with such bundle identifiers. But this was long long time ago, I didn't even remember that. So they just had to be recovered in iTunes Connect.
https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
Have you ever heard 'XC Wildcard-' option to create new iOS or tvOS app creating new bundle ID on AppStoreConnect platform? Yes it is possible with 'XC Wildcard-' option. So if your bundle ID does not appear on the AppStoreConnect;
Click + (Plus button) and Select the New App option.
Enter needed informations and choose 'XC Wildcard-*' option from Bundle ID section.
After that, you'll see Bundle ID Suffix text box. Enter your bundle identifier there and
Click the Create button.
If your bundle id is not using from other apps, your app will generated successfully. Otherwise, you can change your bundle id and you can create your app on AppStoreConnect.
for me the solution was to resister a new id, then choose this id and save, then logout again and login and now you can see your bundle id.
To get rid of this issue, I create separate profiles for my extensions and app targets as well that are definitely paired with single app id. I had SiriKit extensions in my app and multiple targets along.
These Steps Worked for me.
Logout from itunes connect
Login to apple developer account
Delete existing identifier
Create new identifier with Explicit radio box checked next to BundleID
Login to Itunes connect again
Hopefully you'll be able to see bundle identifier there.
In My case, I've Just removed an App From AppStore Connect(Not yet released into AppStore). But I can see that THE APP IS NOT COMPLETELY REMOVED, but categorized under "Removed Apps". Now I want to create a new app in Appstore connect using the same bundle ID that I've used in the app that I just removed, But my BundleID is invisible while creating new App. I've just Mailed Apple regarding this. Will keep you posted on this.
I've had this same issue a few times, and it's been for different reasons. Here's a few things to check:
1) Did you set the developer profile in xCode? When you create a new project it sets the developer ID, so if you're trying to make a new one to.. lets say... do an ad-hoc release, it won't be present in the old project. It's set in targets>build settings>code signing
2) Download your profiles from the organizer. New profiles need to be loaded into xCode
3) Close/quit and reopen xCode, sometimes it breaks.
4) Try doing a clean
It seems that in Xcode 13, for new apps the app's Name, Bundle ID, etc... is set within Xcode during the upload process.
In my application I need to have one link which is directly conncect to the app store and it is the link of my application on iTunes App Store. Can anyone please let me know how to do it?
When you add the app to iTunes Connect, it gets an Apple ID (a 9 or 10 digit number). You can use a URL of the form http://itunes.apple.com/app/id<your_id> to link to your app in the store, for example http://itunes.apple.com/app/id417817520 if your Apple ID was 417817520.
The link will only work after the app has been approved of course.
You can now use Short Links:
appstore.com/exampleappname
Just strip all white space from the app name. More in this Apple tech note:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1633/_index.html
We can generate the app link before the application being submitted to iTunes app store for review.
Here you need to follow the below mentioned steps.
(1) First login to your app store developer account and go to iTunes Connect.
(2) Then go to the option "Manage Your Applications".
(3) Now create new application here and add meta data and all the information about the application like Description, Category, Keywords, Price, etc. which can be edited later. Here you just remaining with the binary submission which you can do after adding the app store link.
(4) After creating your application here from the "Manage Your Application" section, you will get the Application listed. Now you select the app and then in the top menu click on More -> View on App Store.
(5) Now copy the link opened in the browser and that is the link of your application.
https://itunes.apple.com/app/appname/id123456789?ls=1&mt=8
- Where appname = name of the application
- id123456789 = it will be the ID of your App
These are the simplest steps to create APP store link before the app being submitted to app store actually.
Let me know if you need more help.
You can just use http://itunes.com/apps/[your company name]/[your app name].
Both the company name and the app name are without spaces and lowercase.
Apple has introduced the possibility of deleting an app. Quoting the iTunes Connect guide:
If you have created an app in iTunes
Connect that you no longer need to see
or manage, you can delete it from your
iTunes Connect view. Deleting your app
will not allow you to re-use your SKU
or App Name and you will not be able
to restore your app once deleted.
So far so good. Then it gets slightly confusing:
If you are selling your app to another
developer for their own distribution
and need to remove it from your iTunes
Connect account, we recommend that you
use App Delete so the App Name will be
freed up for their use.
Does this mean that I won't be able to reuse the name in my account, but other accounts will? Has anybody tried this?
Please see Removing an App From Sale (page 92) section on iTunes Connect Developer Guide 6.3
Click "Rights and Pricing"
Go to the sale territories section. There is a link near the end
Click on the "Deselect all" button to uncheck all App Store territories.
Click on the "Save Changes" button.
After removing all assigned territory checkboxes from your app in the Rights and Pricing section,, the status
changes to Developer Removed from Sale and your app will not be seen on the App Store within 24 hours.
It's possible to salvage the situation. I also made a mistake and forgot to type com.XX part when entering the Bundle ID. My app was not live yet, but once you submit BundleID, it's not possible to change it.
What you can change though, is the "App Name". Thus:
Change the app name into something bogus
Add new app, now using correct Bundle ID and type the original name
Re-upload everything
You could reuse the App Name of the app you have deleted if you change the Default Language of the application information.
Full details here: http://hesh.am/2012/01/recovering-a-deleted-app-name-in-itunes-connect/
I just ran into this today trying to submit my app. I used an incorrect bundle ID and nievely assumed that deleting the app from iTunes Connect would release the app name and SKU for me to reuse when I recreated the app. Not so. Now I get these two errors:
The SKU number you entered has already been used.
The App Name you entered has already been used.
You are correct when you say their documentation is confusing. What the heck is "App Delete," and how is it any different from the "Delete Application" button in iTunes Connect?
I only hope I'm not screwed with regards to my app name being unavailable forever. I've contacted Support so here's hoping...
Simple steps for Deleting/Removing app from iTunes Connect:
iTunesConnect>App>Rights and Pricing>specific stores> Deselect All> Save
Change app status: Developer Removed From Sale
After 24hours app will be removed.
when you delete an application from iTunes Connect you can't upload with the same App Name and SKU in the same developer Apple id. This resource is for migrate an App for another company or individual developer. Ex. when an App was sold.
Follow Below Steps
Login into your iTunes Connect with your developer id: https://itunesconnect.apple.com
Click on App Icon
Click on Rights And Pricing
At the bottom This app will be on sale in all App Stores worldwide.
Or, you can select specific stores “here”. Click on here button to open all specific app stores.
Click on the “Deselect All” button to uncheck all App Store territories.
Click on “Save Changes” button.
Now when you save all these and go to back to your App icon home screen. There will be one more button appear “Delete Application” after “Set Up iAd Network”.
Click on Delete button and read instructions.
Your app will disappear from the app store within 24 hours.
Refer to: see Removing an App From Sale (page 92) section on iTunes Connect Developer Guide 6.3
Follow Instructions Below:
Click "Rights and Pricing"
Go to the sale territories section. There is a link near the end.
Click on the "Deselect all" button to uncheck all App Store territories.
Click on the "Save Changes" button.
Now when you save all of these and then go to back to your App icon home screen there will be one more button that will appear called “Delete Application” located after “Set Up iAd Network”
Click on that "Delete Application button" and read instructions
After removing all assigned territory checkboxes from your app in the Rights and Pricing section, and clicking "Delete Application", the status changes to Developer Removed from Sale and your app will not be seen on the App Store within 24 hours. The name you were using for your app will also become freed for other developers' use.
Hope this helps!!!
