Generic app id to specific one. App data lost.

Hi everyone,


My last app update was a total disaster, this because I didn't noticed that xcode was automatically using a wildcard (*) app id instead of the specific one that I created initially when I started developing the app (5 years ago).

With the last update I added push notifications support and so I had to modify the app id (to add PN support), then I created the new provisioning profile and I thought that everything was ok.

Unfortunately I didn't noticed that the update from the store was deleting the local app data...but hundred of users did...


How can it be that xcode was using a wildcard certificate/app id? Is it something due to the "automatic signing" feature added some xcode versions ago?? I am sure I was using the specific one!


Is there a way now to restore the users local data?

I know that the system everytime that there is an update it creates a new local directory and it copies the old data to the new location (normally).


Please help...

Thank you.
