This error is reaction on new build created and uploaded to AppStore with new project but same bundleId/displayName/signingInfo.

Here is the scenario with symbolic values to explain it better:

Build #1 (Version 1.0)

project: P1
Bundle id: com.some.app
Display name: My App
Signing info: TeamX, CertificateX (automatic signing)

I had to move the app to new project with completely new targets/configs/sources but same app metadata.

Build #2 (Version 1.0)

project: P2 (new)
Bundle id: com.some.app
Display name: My App
Signing info: TeamX, CertificateX (automatic signing)

So you can see that all is changed but the important app metadata (BundleId, DisplayName, Signing info) remained the same.

Yet the upload of build 2 results with: ITMS-90129: The bundle uses a bundle name or display name that is already taken

Note that the Build #2 showed in "AppStoreConnect / TestFlight / iOS Builds / Version 1.0" for a few seconds as "Processing" but than disapeared with the error. Thus Apple tries to add the new build #2 it to proper application version but than for some reason it thinks that Build #1 and #2 comes from different applications.

Any thoughts why?

It was caused by different PRODUCT_NAME. If this differs then ITC thinks it's a different application regardless your equal bundleId and signing data.
