I asked Apple if they could ask the owner of the account to release the bundle identifier. Not sure if that works. Fingers crossed. I got some questions in private email wether this is a security problem. No I don’t think so. First, if a bundle identifier is taken, we cannot use it. We cannot sign the app with identifiers that we do not own. So it is not possible that there are two apps with the same identifier on the store. Second, identifiers are actually prefixed with a unique Team Identifier. You normally do not see this but that is what iOS uses internally. And that is also what is used on iOS for things like keychain sharing or app group. The Team Id and App Bundle Id make those unique. So it is not possible for someone to register a similar looking bundle identifier and then become part of our ‘app ecosystem’. It is extremely annoying though that the identifiers are not made unique based on some prefix. Usually we register these identifiers before we publish code. In this case we missed one instance for the Aurora channel.
