Creator Codes

Does Apple still use Creator Codes?

What code do you mean precisely ?

Now, all apps which are published or notarised get a unique ID. This ID "knows" about the developer identifier. So, AFAIU, that contains somehow the "creator code".

PS: why do you mind ?

Does Apple still use Creator Codes?

That depends on what you mean by “use”. We no longer use them for their original primary purpose, that is, to associate documents with the apps that created them. Most other uses have been removed or deprecated, but they do show up in a few subsystems that are still fully support.


Claude31, the bit of info you’re missing here is this.
