How can I know my application ID / Bundle ID / package name to create a License Key? – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Scandit license keys are tied to the application or domain and identify the application by the name.

Therefore, you need to get the bundle ID of your application in order to create your own license key.

There are several interchangeable definitions regarding the application name, e.g. bundle id (iOS), application identifier (Android), package name (Android) which doesn't matter for creating a license key.

In case you're not familiar on how to identify your application id, the following guidance should help you depending on the framework you're using:

For iOS

Every iOS app requires an "App ID" to work. This is a string that is set up during development, usually in the form of com.your-company.app-name. Note that "App ID" and "Bundle ID" is generally used interchangeably.

Open you project with XCode, select the top project item in the project navigator at the left. Then select TARGETS -> General. Bundle Identifier is found under Identity. Screen_Shot_2017-12-14_at_11.27.54.png

For Android

Every Android app requires an "applicationId". This is a string that is set up during development, usually in the form of com.example.yourapp in your Gradle build.config. Please note that "applicationId" and "Bundle ID" is generally used interchangeably.
