I have an app in the Bare Workflow, and this app has a Watchkit extension target. It communicates with the React Native app using react-native-watch-connectivity.
AFAIK, normal procedure is that you add the Apple Watch extension to the existing project, which adds two targets to your Xcode project, and their bundle IDs are like this:
I’m not sure if this is required or just convention, but it works to build the app for the simulator and the device.
I want to publish this app to Testflight using EAS. When I run EAS, it stops with the following error message:
The bundle identifier com.mycompany.myproject.watchkitapp is not available to team “[MyCompany] (Company/Organization)” ([ID]), please change it in your app config and try again.
UnexpectedAppleResponse: An attribute in the provided entity has invalid value - An App ID with Identifier
‘com.mycompany.myproject.watchkitapp’ is not available. Please enter a different string.
When I try to create the com.mycompany.myproject.watchkitapp bundle ID online, it fails telling me this ID exists already. However it does not appear in the bundle ID list.
It’s possible that your Apple Team owns the com.mycompany.myproject bundle identifier, but does not own com.mycompany.myproject.watchkitapp. That is, someone else has registered com.mycompany.myproject.watchkitapp.
After I restarted my mac, it seemed that changing the bundle ID to a new ID solved the initial problem. Then EAS built the iOS project fine, but I had other problems with
The bundle identifier com.mycompany.myproject.watchkitapp is not available to team “[MyCompany] (Company/Organization)” ([ID]), please change it in your app config and try again.
