Identifiers

Each app has a unique identifier for identification. The identifier is usually based on the domain name of the product. For example, if the domain name is https://example.com/product, the identifier is usually com.example.product.

warning

The app identifier can be different on Android and iOS. Make sure to follow the steps for both platforms.

Android

On Android, the identifier is named: package name.

Option 1: Google Play

If the app is available on Google Play, you have to follow the 2 steps below to find the package name.

1. Open the Google Play page for your app in the browser.
2. The URL contains the package name. For example, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zhiliaoapp.musically means the package name is com.zhiliaoapp.musically.

Option 2: Source code

Developers can locate the package name in the AndroidManifest.xml or build.gradle file. The package name is defined in the package attribute of the <manifest>, or as applicationId attribute in gradle.

iOS

On iOS, the identifier is named: bundle identifier.

Option 1: App Store

If the app is available on the App Store, follow the 5 steps below to find the bundle identifier.

1. Open the App Store page for your app in the browser.
2. The URL contains the unique id. For example, https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/tiktok/id835599320 means the country code is nl and the id is 835599320.
3. Based on the id and country code, you can lookup the bundle identifier.
   • If your URL contains a country code, the format is:
     https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=ID_HERE&country=COUNTRY_HERE
   • If your URL does not contain a country code, the format is:
     https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=ID_HERE
4. Open the URL, e.g. https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=835599320&country=nl to download a .txt file containing the bundle identifier.
5. Open the file with a text editor and search for "bundleId" to find the bundle identifier. For example: "bundleId":"com.zhiliaoapp.musically" means the identifier is com.zhiliaoapp.musically

Option 2: Source code

If you have source code access, you can find the bundle identifier in the Xcode project settings under the General tab of the Target settings.

It is listed as Bundle Identifier, for example: ai.abra.mobile.
