Xcode 7: changing product bundle identifier

Solution 1:

Faced the same problem.

The PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER is a variable in your project.pbxproj file. Change that to whatever you want and it will reflect both in your Info.plist as well as the project settings.

Solution 2:

udit's answer is correct. The best practice is in plist set Bundle ID value as $PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER. Then in Build Settings, use different configurations(Debug, Release .etc) to set up different bundle ID by required:

You don't need xCode plugin to change bundle id anymore but need to specify configuration in there.

Solution 3:

Refer to this for a simple solution to replace $PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER using shell command like -

sed -i '' 's/com.example.oldbundleid/com.example.newbundleid/g' project.pbxproj

You can pass your variables accordingly using Jenkins/Shell.

Alternative approach to do this is using mod-pbxproj.

python -m mod_pbxproj -b -af PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER=com.example.newbundleid -rf PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER=com.example.oldbundleid project.pbxproj All

//edit

Old bundle id can be fetched by -

awk -F '=' '/PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER/ {print $2; exit}' project.pbxproj

This can be stored in a string variable and used in place of com.example.oldbundleid
