wxites A bundle ID precisely identifies a single app.

An App ID is a two-part string used to identify one or more apps from a single development team. The string consists of a Team ID and a bundle ID search string, with a period (.) separating the two parts. The Team ID is supplied by Apple and is unique to a specific development team, while the bundle ID search string is supplied by you to match either the bundle ID of a single app or a set of bundle IDs for a group of your apps.

App ID:

Think of this as an object in Member Center with lots of metadata including:

App ID Description
App ID Prefix
App ID Suffix
App Services

Bundle ID:

A reverse-domain name style string

Defined in Xcode

Uniquely identifies an Application Bundle on a device or simulator

Must have a matching App ID registered with Apple in order to deploy

Used to distinguish app updates vs. new apps

USE OF BUNDLE ID:

It uniquely defines each App

It is specified in Xcode

A single Xcode project can have multiple Targets and therefore output multiple apps

A common use case for this is an app that has both lite/free and pro/full versions or is branded multiple ways.
