Assume I have an iPhone application whose Product Name is "My App" (with a space between words) in XCode build settings. In my info.plist, the Bundle identifier is specified as com.mycompany.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}

In the resulting info.plist in the application bundle, the bundle identifier is shown as com.mycompany.My-App. I need it to be com.mycompany.MyApp. How do I change the Bundle Identifier setting so it would convert the product name the way I want?

ps. If I change the ${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier} to ${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}, the resulting bundle identifier will be com.mycompany.My_App. I just need to remove the space character in the product name completely in the result.

Thanks in advance..

Just type it in?

i.e. instead of com.mycompany.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier} just type com.mycompany.MyApp

If you have more than one target that need different bundle names, one way of doing it is to create your own variable and use that instead.

In the build menu (select your project and choose Get Info), you can add your own variables to the project. If you make one called MY_BUNDLE_NAME and set it to MyApp, you can then put com.mycompany.${MY_BUNDLE_NAME} in the plist file. You should be able to set MY_BUNDLE_NAME to different values for different targets.

Thanks for ur answer, but my situation is not as simple as that!Of course u have understood my question, but what I haven't told is that I have several "targets" of the same application that needs to have different bundle identifiers. So I need to configure the bundle identifier dynamically according to the build settings each of these targets have.for example, one target may have "My App1" as the product name and another target may have "My App2" as the product name. That's why I need to do this dynamically instead of hard coding.

Ah, that makes more sense! I've edited my answer; hope that's more helpful!

Thanks dean! that would do it for me and I can see that these user-defined build settings will be useful for me in some other places as well. Thanks for the tip!
