Hi,

When I try to create an App ID for my app, I get the following message:

"An App ID with Identifier '<bundle identifier>' is not available. Please enter a different string.

I have not manually created an App ID under my team with this bundle identifier. I have 'Automatic Signing' checked in Xcode but am unable to upload or register an app with the same bundler Identifier through Xcode as well. I am not a member of any other team so this bundle identifier should be unique and should not have been used before.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

It’s very unlikely that the Developer website is lying to you about this (-:

My experience is that the majority of problems like this are caused by the bundle ID being used in a related team. For example, you or one of your colleagues might have used it in a Personal Team (aka free provisioning).

If you can’t figure that out then you have a couple of choices:

  • The easiest option is to change your bundle ID. It’s usually pretty easy to come up with a bundle ID that’s sufficiently close. For example, you might switch from com.example.MyAppName to com.example.my-app-name.

  • If you absolutely must have that bundle ID, you can seek formal help via Apple > Developer > Contact Us.

An App ID with Identifier '<bundle identifier>' is not available. Please enter a different string.

This message means the App ID you’re trying to register is whether been used by others or invalid. A valid App ID looks like this: com.example.MyCoolApp.
