iOS Question Apple ID and App ID

[Sanxion]

Hi all

I am attempting to configure my system for the first time and am using the B4i Beginners Guide as a point of reference.

On page 15, it states: Create an App ID. This step is quite simple. Just make sure that you create a wildcard id.

I have already created an 'Apple ID' which I use on my iPhone and use to log-in to the Apple Developer site - what therefore is the 'App ID' and when and where do I create it?

Thanks

Hi.
Your App ID is the App identification, a unique name on the whole store. What it means with "wildcard id" its a generic id. I hope you understand it easier with an example.
An App ID is like a url but reversed, i mean, imagine the web, you should call a website like this for a web:
webapp.webserver.com
If we talk about app, you should name it reversed:
com.appserver.appname
with the wildcard, you should name it like this:
com.appserver.*
This will be good for all the apps you develop, because all of them might start wiht "com.appserver".
The App ID is set on developer console, when you create the provisionfile. The same App ID used on this file must be on the app, on Project->Build Configurations (Ctrl+B).
Hope it helps you.
