Bundle IDs and limiting apps deployed on testing phone

Hello! I have tried to look for some comparison between Apple Developer Account Free vs Paid. I am interested in:

  1. Remove limited bundle ID for 7 days before I can create a new one. Right now I can create only 10 bundle ids.
  2. Remove apps installed on testing phone through xcode. Right now I can install only 3 apps.

With Apple paid account can I remove those?

Thank you!

Yes.

Having said that, I’m surprised you’re hitting the bundle ID limit. I create a bazillion test projects as part of my day job so I would hit that limit a lot, but most folks who work on apps only work on a few. And if you need to create a lot of test projects, just give them all the same bundle ID.

@eskimo, thank you!

I am following a tutorial for learning swift and each module is a new app. I want to test the apps on the device and that's how I hit that limitation. Without uninstalling the older one.

I have 2 more questions if you could help me:

  1. I also noticed an warning into XCode 14. It says that Account Authentication Failure, but I have logged into my account. Do you have any idea how to fix that?
  2. The apps on the phone deactivate after 7 days? I cannot start them again. Only uninstall. Do I have to redeploy them?

Thank you!

Ah, interesting. You might want to raise that with the tutorial’s author. It makes sense for someone following the tutorial to be using free provisioning (aka a Personal Team), but the author might not know about this limit because they’re a member of a paid-for team.

No idea, sorry.

The apps on the phone deactivate after 7 days?

Yes. That’s another limitation of free provisioning.

I cannot start them again. Only uninstall. Do I have to redeploy them?

Yes. Doing a Product > Run in Xcode should be sufficient to get the app running again.
