What is "missing bundle identifier"

Hi. I'm curious about something. If I run either of these commands from the command-line:
softwareupdate --list
pkgutil --pkgs
I get several lines referring to packages in /Library/Receipts that say:
PackageKit: * Missing bundle identifier
So, my questions (I want to understand what's happening):
What is PackageKit?
What is a "missing bundle identifier", how does the bundle identifier end up missing, and what to do about it?

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#DOCUMENTATION/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/ CFBundles/BundleTypes/BundleTypes.html
he bundle identifier string identifies your application to the system. This string must be a uniform
type identifier (UTI) that contains only alphanumeric (A-Z,a-z,0-9), hyphen , and period (.)
characters. The string should also be in reverse-DNS format. For example, if your company’s domain
is Ajax.com and you create an application named Hello, you could assign the string com.Ajax.Hello
as your application’s bundle identifier. The bundle identifier is used in validating the application
signature.

  • Gray Screen of Spinning Death + "missing bundle identifier" on reinstall

    Hello,
    I had Leopard ~10.5.5 installed on my machine. I ran system upgrade and upgraded to 10.5.8 before I installed SL. When I installed it, everything went great, but on reboot I got the dreaded gray spinning wheel.
    So I found online, they recommend trying to reinstall again. I boot from CD and begin the installation process, but right when I begin it errors out and shows me the install log. I don't have it copied here (I can if need be), but it is mostly a collection of 8-12 "missing bundle identifier" (flip4mac, etc).
    what's my next step? all my data is good, but i can't boot?
    Thanks!

    ps here is my log (the important part). besides some package not found errors, this is the crash:

  • Installer: PackageKit: Missing Bundle Identifier system.log error messages

    Example:
    Installer[2547]: PackageKit: * Missing bundle identifier: /Library/Receipts/NeoOffice-2.2.5-Intel.pkg
    I am getting a few of these error messages whenever I run installer. I'm guessing there's an easy fix to this?

    Open up /Library/Receipts/, create a new folder, name it OldStuff, put everything except the InstallHistory.plist file inside of it, restart, run the installer, and see if that fixes things. SL has done away with storing anything in that folder except the plist file. All installation stuff is stored in /var/db/receipts/.

  • What Should My Bundle Identifier Be?

    In the HowTo for APP IDs, the instructions say:
    "During the application build process, Xcode will append any CF Bundle ID you specify in your Xcode project to the App ID in your provisioning profile."
    What should the Bundle Identifier be?
    - No entry at all in the info.plist file
    - Or, *
    - Or, com.CompanyName.AppName (like in OSX, mine is com.sayware.baseconverter)
    - Or, AppName
    - OR.....something else
    IF it is the com.CompanyName.AppName, then what rules are there for the fields? What I mean is, does the company name have to match(spelling) or exactly match (spelling and capitalization). Does it have to match the company name in your profile, or in the provisioning profile? Does the AppName have to match something, like the application name in the program portal?
    I am having no luck uploading my app to the appStore. I tried it again this morning with a "new" application to see what the web-based uploader would tell me. I am getting the error that the info.plist file cannot be found, or is corrupt and cannot be parsed. It is there, I checked the package contents after building. I opened and saved it with Plist editor (so it should not be corrupt). All I can think of is that one of the line items is "bad". Or, maybe I am too stupid for this platform.
    Thanks in advance for any (and I mean ANY) help you can offer....
    Ty

    The "com.companyname" part should match a domain name that you own. So if your company is Fooware and you're based in the UK, and you've registered the address fooware-iphone.co.uk, you should use "uk.co.fooware-iphone" as the beginning of your bundle ID.
    The ending should be some variant of your app's name for readability. (It can actually be whatever you want, as long as all of your apps have different ones.) Xcode has a decent default, I believe.

  • Error when uploading "The bundle identifier cannot be changed from the previous version"

    I have an app on the App Store created with DPS, Single Edition a long time ago, shortly after DPS SE became available. Now I've updated the app, built a new version with DPS App Builder, created a new version of the app in iTunes Connect, and tried to upload the Distribution zip file using application loader. I'm getting 2 error messages:
    "This bundle is invalid. The bundle identifier cannot be changed from the previous version. If you want to change your bundle identifier, you will need to create a new application in iTunes Connect..."
    and
    "This app contains an embedded provisioning profile that is not associated with your account. Please use a provisioning profile associated with Team ID ..."
    I've done this several times before with other apps, and never got these errors before. Any ideas of what is going on?
    I'm able to view the developer ipa file just fine on my iPad.

    Nevermind. I left for lunch, returned, took a fresh look at it, and discovered that it was a stupid human error on my part.

  • I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

  • "Failed to open midi support library". What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? What to do?

    I own a new Macbook pro 15" quadcore with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    When trying to start software Reason 7 I only get the message "Failed to open midi support library".
    What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? Reinstalling Mountain Lion did not solve anything.
    What may I do? Is there separate MIDI-drivers or else that Macbook needs to be running audio at all?
    My audiocard Apogee Duet 2 is´nt working well either and I cannot even open the MIDI-window in Mac,
    so that road is blocked. I´ve seen more ppl having problem but found no explaination.
    Some say to remove midi-drivers but that folder is empty (or hidden?) when opening.
    Also, Garage Band cannot open. It´s no problem with graphic apps, only with audio/midi.
    My 2011 Macbook pro13" with OS X Lion runs like a charm. So how can this be? It really puzzles my mind.
    Have thoughts on having OS X Lion on the new Mac as well but will not do it until I know where the real problem is.
    Hope there is an easy fix to it. Thanks in advance.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • What is missing from Photoshop CS6 ???

         I tried the new PhotoShop CS6 (beta) but aside from some innovations of which my favorite is the interface (The interface is one of the best innovation that Adobe have made finally an interface that does not make you eyes hurt) and content aware move tool (content aware is definitely the best technology in Photoshop, may in the future in Photoshop CS20 will be voice-activated and will do exactly what you say even to draw for you) and maybe the new brushis, nothing that new, especially for those who draw in Photoshop concept artists, Ilustrators and so on ... etc
          In my opinion what is missing from the famous Photoshop CS 6 and should have been is :
         1 : Live symmetry drawing (horizontal and vertical) even the simplest programs like Alchemy / Sketchbook Pro and new Painter 12 has the function they have gone beyond the horizontal and vertical with the function of Kaleidoscope. I really like how the brush works in Alchemy especially in symmetry, in Sketchbook Pro are not so good in symmetry, unless thei are round but if you have a strange shapes thei tend to function as a parallel very strange but it is ther why the famous Photoshop does not have this function ??? I hoped that in PS CS6 (beta) to be, but no, I do hope maybe in the CS7 will be,
         2: I would like to make several sets of brushes, but in different windows on the screen at the same time not only a big one something like Corel Painter 12
         3: If you put a 3d function why do you tried to do something like the Google SketchUP fast, simple to use and easy to learn, or a simplified version of ZBrush sculpture in 3d clay ???
         Ok now let's talk about Bridge CS6: same functions, nothing so new, I hope that in the cs6 to implement something like the function of ACDSee Photo Manager 12 for example:
         Preview Thumbnails in a files, shortcuts that can be modified, such as double click I want to open fullscreen preview not send in photoshop or Camera Raw etc, why not the same as Photoshop, to make what I want to what I want, preview window to have the option of framing the image even if it is small or large (fit image, reduce or enlarge) the same for full screen mode the image will be framed by the edges of the screen (fit image height or widthand reduce or enlarge) from there if you want 100%, 200% etc. and many others
         What is right, there are many other features that I like and love in Bridge much more than ACDSee 12 such as preview multiple images at the same time in preview window and Review Mode (one of my favorite) and many others but ...   ... What was more important to me I said maybe for someone else is something else missing ...

    …Why on earth would you want to restrict Photoshop?…
    Because I may consider it to be bloated already?
    Because I don't need to be driving around in a motor home when my car fills my needs?
    Because I don't need a hammer that doubles as a screwdriver or water-heater when I need to drive a nail?
    Because a scalpel may be more useful for my purposes than a Swiss-army knife?
    Because I would prefer the engineering team to work on refining existing features and improving stability rather than add features that are better served in drawing and painting applications?
    Because I'm not particularly impressed by some of the new "features"?
    Because I would prefer to see improvements to the History panel as have been suggested and requested over the years?
    I could think of many more such reasons why.

    Duh!    Precisely! 
    Software bloat adds to the cost of developing and maintaining an application, delays the release of bug fixes and genuine improvements of existing features and eventually demands greater hardware resources.

    i test app on phonegab build, it work well.
    i need to upload to apple store but i get problem like it.
    How i do?

    This is because you created a new .mobileprovision file that has a different bundle id for your app in it, and then tried to upload it over an old application. Change the bundle id back and regenerate your .mobileprovision file, or upload with the new bundle id to a new application in iTunes.

  • Does TM overwrite or just replace what's missing?

    When I went on a business trip recently I had to delete about 15GB worth of music from iTunes to free up some hard drive space. When I got home i hooked up my iPhone to sync it and thought it would transfer all the music I had deleted. Needless to say it only transferred the purchased content and not my older tracks from physical CDs.
    Anyways... now I would like to go into Time Machine and replace JUST the files that I am now missing. However, this would be a laborious process so I would prefer to just click on the iTunes folder as a whole.
    My question is: would this overwrite my current one and therefore delete any new files ive purchased? Or just replace what's missing?
    Thanks in advance!

    TM gives you several options when you are restoring something. you can skip restoring files, you can overwrite them or you can keep both the original and the backed up copy. however, when you do this to a whole folder it will replace the whole folder. so this is not convenient in your case. what i suggest you do is copy your current itunes library to a different location (say, to the desktop) and then restore the old one replacing the current one completely. then import music from the copy you made on the desktop.

  • What is missing part check in inventory

    Hi Experts,
    I want to know what is missing part check in inventory ?
    Thanks !

    Hi Dipika,
    A missing part is a stock of material that is already assigned to a goods issue at the time of goods receipt.This means that a current requirement could not be covered from existing stock(shortage or requirement undercoverage situation).As a rule,such a missing part bypasses the warehouse and ,upon receipt ,is forwarded directly to the point at which it is needed.However,this is only possible if the entered and the responsible materials planner are informed of such receipt.
    You must make following settings in customizing for <b><i>Inventory management and physical inventory under Goods Receipt>Set Missing Parts Check</i></b>
    1)<b>Activation of missing part check per plant</b>
    2)<b>Definition of a checking rule</b>
    3)<b>Specification of the details for control of the availability check</b>:To use the missing part check,you must enter a checking horizon for the missing part check.The checking horizon indcates for how many days in the future the system checks whether shortfall quantities exist for the material.Within the checking horizon,an email is sent from inventory management informing the materials planner that there has been a goods receipt for a missing part.
    4)<b>Assignment of checking rule:</b>At transaction level,the missing part check uses the same checking rules as the availability check.However,you have the option of maintaining different checking rules at movement type level.The checking rule of the movement type takes precedence over that of the transaction.Note that an entry for the movement type without an entry for the transaction has no effect.
    5)<b>Specification of the mail receipient(Email user):</b>The system sends the missing part message to materials planner(MRP Controller) responsible for the material.In order for this to happen,a user ID must be assigned to the materials planner
    6)<b>Specifications of missing part expediter</b>:If no user ID assigned to the responsible materials planner,the message is ent to the central missing part expediter responsible for the plant.This person is defined per plant.
    Reward if useful
    Thanks and reagrds
