SetApplicationIdentifier(BuildTargetGroup, string)
Set the application identifier for the specified platform.
Warning
Deprecated. Use SetApplicationIdentifier(NamedBuildTarget buildTarget, string identifier) instead
public static void SetApplicationIdentifier(BuildTargetGroup targetGroup, string identifier)
Parameters
The build target group that specifies the platform configuration targeted, allowing the application identifier to be set for platforms like iOS, Android, or other defined build targets.
The unique application identifier, such as a bundle identifier on iOS or a package name on Android, used to uniquely identify the application on the specified platform.
Remarks
An application identifier is a unique string that distinguishes an app from others on a given platform. This identifier ensures correct app installation, updates, and access to platform-specific services, making it essential for the app's identity and operation within app stores and devices.
The location that the application identifier is stored in depends on the platform build target. For iOS, tvOS, and macOS platforms, the identifier is written to the field within the /info.plist/ file, which is generated and included in the build output folder when the Unity project is built. Specifically for macOS, the bundle identifier also appears in the /info.plist/ file within the final .app file after the Xcode build process is completed. On Android, the identifier is saved in the field of the /AndroidManifest.xml/ file.
CFBundleIdentifierpackageSetApplicationIdentifier(NamedBuildTarget, string)
Sets the application identifier for a platform.
public static void SetApplicationIdentifier(NamedBuildTarget buildTarget, string identifier)
Parameters
The named build target that specifies the platform configuration targeted, allowing the application identifier to be retrieved for platforms like iOS, Android, or other defined build targets.
The unique application identifier, such as a bundle identifier on iOS or a package name on Android, used to uniquely identify the application on the specified platform.
