Error launching application on iPhone 14 Plus.
Solution
To resolve the issue you encountered, it is essential to have separate bundle identifiers (bundleIds) for both your project and extension. This ensures that each component of your application is uniquely identified within the system.
Here is an example to illustrate the concept:
App bundleId: be.autov.AutoVBE
Extension bundleId: be.autov.AutoVBE.Notification
By having distinct bundleIds for your project and extension, you establish a clear distinction between the main application and its associated components. This separation allows the system to recognize and handle them appropriately.
The error you experienced likely occurred because you were using the same configuration file for both your project and the notification service. This led to conflicts and inconsistencies within the system, resulting in the error message.
To resolve the issue, you made the necessary adjustment by ensuring that the notification service configuration file corresponds to the correct bundle identifier. By matching the correct configuration file with the appropriate bundleId, you effectively resolved the problem.
It's important to note that maintaining separate bundleIds for different components of your application is a common practice in app development. This practice ensures proper functionality, resource management, and avoids conflicts between various parts of your project.
By adhering to this best practice and correctly configuring the bundleIds and associated configuration files, you can ensure a smooth and error-free execution of your application and its related services.
In summary, it is crucial to assign distinct bundleIds for your project and extension to avoid conflicts and enable proper system recognition. By ensuring the correct configuration file is linked to the appropriate bundleId, you were able to address the error and resolve the issue you encountered. Following these guidelines will help maintain the integrity and functionality of your application.
Normal working method if you change the bundle id then an identifier is generated automatically.
