    info

    Description: Enter a name for your App ID to identify it within your developer account.

    Bundle ID: Choose either "Explicit" or "Wildcard" for your App ID type.

    - Explicit: is used for a single app. It is unique to one app and is typically in reverse-domain name format, e.g., com.companyname.appname.

    - Wildcard: can be used for multiple apps and is defined with an asterisk at the end, e.g., com.companyname.*

    - Capabilities: Enable specific app services like Push Notifications, iCloud, HealthKit, etc., by checking the appropriate boxes. These services are part of your app's entitlements and require proper configuration in both your app and the Apple Developer portal. Associated Domains and Push Notifications required.
