App Identifier and Bundle Identifier Gotcha in iPhone Dev

This is one of those things they don’t mention in the docs.

When you create a provisioning profile for an iPhone app you get an app identifier. It looks like this:
KED2IOCNA.com.codebelay.barceftw

In order to get your iPhone app in development into your iPhone you got to have a bundle identifier. The docs that I’ve found so far tell you that your bundle identifier is the same as your app identifier. After struggling for close to 4 hours, I found out that your bundle identifier really is:
com.codebelay.barceftw

Just strip out the encrypted looking part and the dot (.) before com and you’re set.
