Hello,

I am very new to mobile development, but over the last couple of months I've been learning how to create an iOS application. For that, I've been using a development account, and have been setting the bundleID.

Now I have a developer account for a company, and am trying to register the App ID on the developer UI, but I am seeing this error

An App ID with Identifier 'com.codefs3.appname' is not available. Please enter a different string.

I am unsure how I am supposed to resolve this, and this question has been asked and none of the answers have worked for me.

Thank you in advance.

It looks like that bundle ID has already been taken.

The immediate cause of this is that the bundle ID has already been used by some other developer. It’s this case it’s likely to be you, with your work on your temporary team. There are a couple of ways around this:

Find and remove the corresponding App ID in your old team’s account.
Switch to a different bundle ID.

The first one is obviously the best, but it may not always be possible. Give it a try, based on the instructions here.

IMPORTANT If your Apple ID is enrolled in multiple teams, make sure you select the correct team at the top-right before starting this process.
