Answer 3

It's possible to salvage the situation. I also made a mistake and forgot to type com.XX part when entering the Bundle ID. My app was not live yet, but once you submit BundleID, it's not possible to change it.

What you can change though, is the "App Name". Thus:

1. Change the app name into something bogus
2. Add new app, now using correct Bundle ID and type the original name
3. Re-upload everything

Answer 4

when you delete an application from iTunes Connect you can't upload with the same App Name and SKU in the same developer Apple id. This resource is for migrate an App for another company or individual developer. Ex. when an App was sold.
