Details

    Description

      Similar to the Technical Version Number (CFBundleVersion), it would be nice to have an option to change the Bundle identifier (CFBundleIdentifier).

          This would be a great assist to me; setting a distinct bundle identifier lets a built iPhone app install side-by-side with another build of the same project.

          I concur. I'm currently trying to use a shell command prior to the Xcode plugin to set the CFBundleIdentifier value:
          defaults write ${WORKSPACE}/Targetname-Info CFBundleIdentifier com.mycompany.mycompany

          However, this results in a build error:

          The following build commands failed:
          ProcessInfoPlistFile /Users/Jenkins/workspace/MyApp/builds/MyApp.app/Info.plist Targetname-Info.plist
          (1 failure)
          Build step 'XCode' marked build as failure

          I'm trying to figure out what is going on there, looks like something is messing up the file somehow.

          Although I agree this issue functionality should be added, I'm currently using a pre-build script in order to change the bundle ID:

          /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleIdentifier $BUNDLE_ID" $PLIST_DIR/$PLIST_FILENAME
