“An App ID with bundle identifier X is not available. Please enter a different string” (Xcode 7.3)

Question

After updating to the latest build of Xcode 7.3 (7D175), every time I try to Export for adhoc distribution I get the above error. Everything was working fine up until the up

Answer 1

Just need to add prefix in your app id

Ex:

1. Name:MyApp
2. Prefix:KMW5E9785J
3. ID:com.myapp.app

it should be KMW5E9785J.com.myapp.app in your Bundle identifier in info.plist

So No need to change XC or anything from your dev portal

Answer 2

Just change the name of old bundle identifier and it works.

Answer 3

I can see lot's of great answers,

I tried a few of them but no luck, finally I used "Use local signing assets" option to export ipa and it works for me.

Hopefully this will help someone.

Answer 4

I was getting this error using Xcode 7.3.1. The cause was using the wrong "Team" on the General tab of the main target. I had my company's Team, and my own AppleID that was a "Free" personal account. After I switched to my company's Team, the error went away.

Answer 5

I encountered the same problem, I solved it. Validate required appstore certificate. Adhoc and Validate require different certificate.

Answer 6

I just installed Xcode 7.2.1 and could successfully export AdHoc build with it. While Xcode 7.3 keeps on telling that there is something wrong with bundle identifier.

UPDATE:

Looks like changing the "Name" (not the ID) of App ID in developer portal under "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" to the next format "XC com mycompany appname" (in case your app ID was com.mycompany.appname) helps Xcode see your appID. Strange but it's working.
