Bundle Identifier for Device Testing

"com.example.GettingStarted" cannot be registered to your development team

Are you using the actual bundle prefix com.example or are you just redacting your real domain name in order to post the question in the forum?

Unfortunately I accidentally marked the problem as resolved, and there is no way to undo that action…

I am using the com.example bundle prefix as that was recommended in the Fundamentals book. Should I be using something more distinct?

Indeed. I was gonna say that fixing that was on the to-do list but I can’t actually find a bug number for it. So I’d appreciate you filing a bug against DevForums itself and then posting the bug number here, just for the record.

Should I be using something more distinct?

Yes and no. Using something in the com.example. namespace is fine. However, you can’t use exactly com.example.GettingStarted because someone else has already registered that. So instead:

• Use a namespace that’s appropriate for your organisation. If, say, you’re working for Waffle Varnish Inc, whose website is http://wafflevarnish.com, use com.wafflevarnish.GettingStarted.

• Use add a label that’s unlikely to collide. For example, I might use com.example.eskimo1.GettingStarted.

Share and Enjoy

Thanks for the response. If I could mark this as the one that solved my issue, I would. 😄 I used com.firstnamelastname.GettingStarted, which allowed me to put the test app on my personal device. Such a simple fix but not clear in the Swift Fundamentals book. Thanks again.
