binary upload error: The bundle identifier begins with 'com.yourcompany.'.

[azimuth]

I'm trying to update an app, and I'm getting this message when I try to upload the binary to the store, which I've never seen before:

The binary you uploaded was invalid. The bundle identifier begins with 'com.yourcompany.'. This entry should be unique to you, and should reflect your actual domain name, company name or email address. Please change your Bundle Identifier in your project, rebuild with a matching provisioning profile, and try uploading again. For further assistance, see the iPhone Developer Portal User Guide, or contact Developer Technical Support.

I guess I need to fill in a company name, somewhere, in some profile or certificate, or form, or something... but where? When I got filled out all those forms previously, I wasn't asked to enter a domain or company name, and looking at it now, and going through all the documentation, I still don't see anything like that. Does anyone know how I can make this change?

Could Apple make this process more complicated??

You need to do this:

- in developer program portal create an app identifier: can either be a * wildcard if you don't use IAP or Push Notification or else it has to be something like com.drobnik.geocorder

- you create an app store distribution provisioning profile with uses this app identifier

- install this prov profile

- make sure you use it in the target's build settings

- set up the bundle identifier in your info.plist to be matching the app id. If the app id is * you can use any, but the standard format is com.drobnik.geocorder.


My first few apps I forgot about that and so iWoman for example is com.yourcompany.iwoman. Apple seemingly does no longer accept the default setting. So change your info.plist before you submit.
