I am doing an update to my iPad App and iTunes Connect is asking me to enter the Bundle ID Suffix. I am wondering if it needs to be a different one from the original Bundle ID Suffix, or should it remain the same as in the original version?
Thanks!

If you are doing an update, iTunes Connect does not ask for a new Bundle ID suffix. It only asks for new version number and some update description text. The Bundle ID has to stay the same for a submission to be an update. If you are on a form asking for a bundle ID, you are not on the app update web page or form. Perhaps you are looking at a web page or form for creating a new app, or for updating the details of either the app or the update, on which you don't have to change anything.

I changed the name of my app in Xcode. Now my bundle id is different than the one in Xcode. Because of that i cannot upload the app as a new build of what I had before. Should i change my bundle id back to simplify things or will that cause problems?
How should I proceed?
Yes, change your bundle ID back to the original and you'll be fine. This is actually pretty common, you can see that the Snapchat bundle ID is for the original Picaboo app and Instagram bundle ID is Burbn.
You will probably need to change the app name in App Store Connect when you submit the new version too.
My company have acquired an app that was already on the app store. The bundle identifier contained the old company name e.g com.oldcompany.CoolApp. However we are to build a new app to take its place, can we change its bundle id in iTunesConnect? e.g com.newcompany.CoolApp. Can this be done? What are the other possible conflicts?
Although the app is in the hands of a new company, must we continue to use the old Bundle ID?
Thanks in advance.
You can transfer the app to a different developer account. Check out this link
So I found the solution, if you match the bundle identifier and app name then there is no problem. The phone views it as the same.
I have a dumb app on the app store that yrs later I got contacted saying that a company wants the name of the app because they have a website with that name. I'm trying to change my app name to something else. So in ITC, I submitted the form for an update to the app with a new name for the app.
In Xcode, I tried updating everything with the new name. In Xcode 5, the only place I found I could do that was in the Product Name in build settings. That then changed my Bundle Identifier in the General section, as well as the name of the app on the iPhone home page. I created two new provisioning profiles for dev/release with that new name and I thought it was working fine until I tried to validate my archive and it said that I would have to submit a new app because the bundle ID doesn't match. But if my Bundle ID matches the old name of the app, then on the iPhone home screen, it will still say the old name and not the new name. Is there a way around submitting a new app in this case? Thanks.
All you need to do in your project is change the "Bundle Name" from ${PRODUCT_NAME} to whatever name you want to show under the icon. Don't change the actual PRODUCT_NAME value.
Then in iTunes Connect, add an update for your existing app and change the app's name.
Now submit the update. Done.
The company I work for created an app, we uploaded it to the app and it was rejected for some Metadata. No big deal really, except that management then decided to build a new version of the app and had us delete the one submitted.
So when I go to add a new app, the same app, just a new version I get the error
The Bundle ID you entered has already been used.
The App Name you entered has already been used.
Can we undelete the other app and somehow replace it, or do we just have to wait (how long?) to upload the new one using the same Bundle ID and App Name?
The answer is to create a new bundleID, update your app, and submit a new app with a slightly chanced name to Apple. No other options as far as I have seen.
I created my iOS App ID and immediately after tried to register my app, but received the error message "The Bundle ID you entered has already been used." I tried again a few hours later -- by then, Apple had logged me out so I had to log back in.
When I tried again, it worked with no errors. Not sure if it was the time delay or the log out / back in.
bundleID is unique ID by which application can identified. If bundleID is already exist then you delete that bundleID first.
There's a bug or 'trick' on iTunes Connect that let's you use the same name after you have deleted it.

I have an app in my ituneconnect account. I changed its bundle ID. It still shows the older ID in app details. but when I validate my binary it says that you Bundle ID doent match as its been updated to new one.
I want to revert to old one again but it doesnt give me a option to select the older bundle ID. As in Edit option it shows the older one selected and the actual current one doesnt appears.
Let me make it more clear. I have 3 bundle Ids option - 1,2,3
The time I created application I added Bundle ID-2
Then I changed it to 3 by mistake
Still in app details it shows 2 as current bundle ID, Now there are just two options - 1,2
When I try to upload my binary it says that you have bundle ID 3 selected on iTunesConnect
Does anyone having similar issue
You cannot change the bundle ID of an app in iTunes connect. (It appears to be an absolutely unmodifiable field in Apple's database.) So you must have two different apps, and might be using (attempting to update) the wrong one.
Based on your question, I am assuming you are trying to change the bundle id not in xcode, but on iTunesConnect.apple.com and that your app was built with the new bundle id that you dont want to use.
If that is the case, here's what you should do:
Go to XCode, select the target, and select the Summary tab.
Change the bundle id
build and use application loader to submit the same (after verifying
the app) making sure that you have setup the app (you want to update) with the old bundle id for update.
Hope this helps!
