What is an iOS Bundle ID?

An iOS Bundle ID (also called Bundle Identifier or CFBundleIdentifier) is a unique string that identifies a single application within Apple's ecosystem — across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Apple uses it to distinguish your app from every other app on the App Store, on a user's device, and inside provisioning profiles.

Bundle IDs use reverse-DNS notation, for example com.instagram.ios, com.zhiliaoapp.musically (TikTok), or com.spotify.client. The format is com.developer.appname — case-sensitive, unique, and (in practice) immutable once an app is published.

Bundle IDs are essential for iOS developers, but they're also widely used by people who sideload apps with AltStore or Sideloadly, install jailbreak tweaks, or manage devices through MDM configuration profiles.

Why do you need a Bundle ID Finder?

📲 Sideloading Apps

Tools like AltStore, Sideloadly, TrollStore, and SideStore often need the Bundle ID to sign and install IPA files correctly — and to prevent collisions with the original App Store version.

🛠 Jailbreak Tweaks

Tweak developers target apps by Bundle ID. You'll need it to build filter lists, apply per-app themes, or restrict a tweak to a specific app like com.burbn.instagram.

🔒 MDM & Parental Controls

Network admins, schools, and parents use Bundle IDs to allowlist or blocklist specific apps through MDM .mobileconfig profiles or Screen Time restrictions.

📊 ASO & Marketing

App marketers need Bundle IDs for analytics SDKs, attribution platforms (AppsFlyer, Adjust), competitor tracking, and deep-link configuration.

How to Find a Bundle ID (3 Methods)

There are three reliable ways to find any iOS app's Bundle ID. The first uses the tool above — fastest for live App Store apps. The other two help when you have a local .ipa file or only an App Store URL.

Method 1 — Use This Bundle ID Lookup Tool (Recommended)

Best for any app currently on the App Store. No installation, no Mac required.

  1. Enter the app name (e.g., Instagram) or paste the full App Store URL into the search box at the top of this page.
  2. Pick the right app from the dropdown suggestions — check the developer name to avoid clones.
  3. Click "Copy" next to the Bundle Identifier. The full ID (e.g., com.burbn.instagram) is now in your clipboard.

Method 2 — From a Local .ipa File

Use this when you already have the IPA downloaded — works on Windows, macOS, and Linux without Xcode.

  1. Rename the file extension from .ipa to .zip (or use our IPA → ZIP Converter).
  2. Extract the archive. Open the Payload/ folder, then the .app bundle inside.
  3. Open Info.plist with our Plist Editor (it handles both XML and binary plists).
  4. Look for the key CFBundleIdentifier. The string value below it is the Bundle ID.

💡 Tip: our IPA Metadata Viewer extracts the Bundle ID automatically — no manual steps.

Method 3 — From an App Store URL (iTunes Search API)

Best when you only have the App Store link and want to verify the Bundle ID manually.

  1. Open the App Store page and copy the numeric ID from the URL — e.g., apps.apple.com/app/id389801252.
  2. Open this URL in any browser:
    https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=389801252
  3. In the JSON response, locate the "bundleId" field — that's the value you need.

⚡ This is the same official Apple API the tool above uses, so results are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Bundle ID Lookup tool free?

Yes — completely free with unlimited lookups. There's no sign-up, no rate limit for normal use, and no data is stored on our servers. Searches go directly to Apple's public iTunes Search API from your browser.

What does an iOS Bundle ID look like?

A Bundle ID uses reverse-DNS format: com.companyname.appname. Examples include com.burbn.instagram (Instagram), com.spotify.client (Spotify), and com.apple.mobilesafari (Safari). It is case-sensitive and contains only letters, digits, hyphens, and dots.

What's the difference between a Bundle ID and an App ID?

A Bundle ID identifies the app itself (e.g., com.burbn.instagram). An App ID is what Apple uses inside the developer portal — it combines your Team ID prefix with the Bundle ID (e.g., ABC123XYZ.com.burbn.instagram). Sideloading tools usually want the Bundle ID only.

Can a Bundle ID change after the app is published?

No. Once an app is shipped on the App Store, its Bundle ID is locked — changing it would create a brand-new app, break iCloud data, push tokens, and in-app purchases. Apple does not allow Bundle ID edits for published apps.

Can I find the Bundle ID of a removed app?

Our tool queries the live App Store, so apps fully removed by Apple or the developer will not appear. If you have the original .ipa file, use Method 2 above to extract the Bundle ID from Info.plist — that works even for delisted apps.

Why do I need a Bundle ID for AltStore or Sideloadly?

Sideloading tools re-sign IPA files with your personal Apple ID. They need the Bundle ID to register the app with your provisioning profile and to avoid clashing with an existing App Store install. Some tools also let you change the Bundle ID before installing, so you can run a modified copy alongside the original.

How do I find the Bundle ID of an app already on my iPhone?

If the app is on the App Store, just search its name in the tool above. If it's a sideloaded or enterprise app not on the store, you'll need its .ipa file or to use a Mac with Xcode (Devices and Simulators → installed apps). For App Store apps, the lookup tool is always faster.

Are two apps allowed to share the same Bundle ID?

No. Bundle IDs must be globally unique across the entire App Store. If two apps try to use the same Bundle ID on a device, the second install overwrites the first. This is also why sideloaded clones often need a modified Bundle ID — to coexist with the App Store version.

Is the lookup data accurate and up to date?

Yes. Every search hits Apple's official iTunes Search API in real time, so version numbers, Bundle IDs, ratings, and update dates always reflect what's currently live on the App Store.
