Updating live App ID for Push notifications

Question

Hi All

I have an app in the App Store which has a wildcard App ID. I want to add push notifications to it, but cannot as we have a wildcard App ID. This is the error I get:

Only explicit App IDs can be used to access the Apple Push Notification service. Please use an existing App ID with a specific Bundle Identifier or create a new one.

Can I create a new App ID for my app that is live in the store? Won't that cause issues? I'm confused as to how I can add push at this stage?

[EDIT] Can I setup a new one using the same App ID, but use a new bundle identifier?

Cheers

Answer 1

Contact apple. If you change the bundle ID, your app will be uploaded as a new program. You can't do Push Notification with a specific bundle ID.

Answer 2

You can create a new App ID using the App ID prefix you created before, the bundle indentifier or the App ID sufix must be something else. This can't be a wildcard character.

So for example you now use the following AppID; ABCDEFGHIJ.*

It must be transformed to something like this to use the push notification service; ABCDEFGHIJ.nl.jeroendeleeuw.appname
