Create an Apple App ID

Apple's App ID is a two-part string, a Team ID and Bundle ID, which identifies one or more applications from a single development team.

Apple ID Types

Two types of IDs can be created:

1. Explicit App ID: Used for a single application.
2. Wildcard App ID: Used for a set of applications.
