How should my "App IDs" section look like?
I know there are many other questions out there, but I can't seem to find exactly what I want.
Let's say that I'm having 5 apps right now:
- App1 and App2 are the full and lite version of the same myApp, and I want to share data between them
- App3 is independent but using in-app purchases and
- App4 and App5 are two other, independent apps.
Should I just have a generic App ID, like ABCDE12345.* with which I can sign apps like App4 and App5 (and all the new ones in the future, that don't need IAP etc), then ABCD123456.myCompany.App3 for App3 and then ABC1234567.myCompany.myApp.* for App1 and App2?
Does this sound the right way, or I get it totally wrong? Or, in different words, how does your App IDs look like? :)
Thanks for any insight!
Answer
I would do this:
- App1 and App2 should use something like ABCDE12345.com.myCompany.AppName
- App3 should use ABCDE12345.com.myCompany.App3
- App4 should use ABCDE12345.com.myCompany.App4
- App5 should use ABCDE12345.com.myCompany.App5
In other words, share the app id between app1 and app2 since you want to share data. During development use a generic app id like ABCDE12345.com.myCompany.* but for distribution each independent app should have it's own unique app id.
