What's a Bundle Identifier?
The bundle identifier is a unique identifier for your app. Each build of your app may have its own, including production, beta, develop, qa, etc. This will vary on each team so work with your developers if you're managing multiple environments of your app to ensure the correct one is being tested.
Don't have a Bundle Identifier?
