Bundle IDs with dots are being replaced with - and being rejected by the uploader

Hi, i have the same problem here, with build 828 :frowning:
i wanted to update my app to retina display support.

the error i get with a classic build: Bundle identifier: com-magicwhale-bagatelle differs from prior bundle identifier: com.magicwhale.bagatelle

So it’s COrona changing the . to - .

when i try to add CFBundleIdentifier = “com.magicwhale.bagatelle”, to my build.settings, i got another error telling me that the bundle ID is invalid:
the application-identifier entitlement is not formatted correctly; it should contain your 10-character App ID Seed, followed by a dot, followed by your bundle identifier: xxxxxxxxx.com.magicwhale.bagatelle (-19054)

i even tried to change the bundle id within the built, but then apple tells me it’s not a valid build (modified, not signed)

So, because i can’t change the bundleid of my app, i’m locked :frowning:

many people have old bundle ids with dots in it, can’t you just change it in the builds so that you are warned that you have invalid characters in your bundle id, but DON’T change them?

Howe the others have resolved this? [import]uid: 44010 topic_id: 19860 reply_id: 110420[/import]

Hi Raphael,

It’s been a while since I resolved this issue, but I believe I had to create a new App ID for Cannon Cat. There wasn’t anything I could do inside of my build.settings that made a difference. And looking at the history of my provisioning portal it’s littered with failed app ids like:

com.loqheart.cannoncat - this was the original
com.loqheart.cannoncat.app
com.loqheart.cannoncat.001
com.loqheart.cannoncat.full - this is the one I’m currently using.

Hi DOn :slight_smile:
so you are using a name with dots and don’t have problems publishing with the latests daily builds?
When you are building you app in corona, you put com.loqheart.cannoncat.full as the name of the app? [import]uid: 44010 topic_id: 19860 reply_id: 111291[/import]

Yes, I’m using 825 and com.loqheart.cannoncat.full without any issues. [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 19860 reply_id: 111292[/import]
