The new bundle ID rules enforced by the iTunes Connect validator appear to make it impossible to submit an app with both original WatchKit and watchOS 2 extensions...

I just attempted to upload an app to iTunes Connect for internal testing, but it was rejected with the following message:

Error ITMS-90347: "Bad bundle identifier. The bundle identifier 'com.abc.myapp.watchkitapp.watchkitextension' of the application extension MyApp.app/Plugins/MyApp WatchKit Extension' should start with the application's bunle identifier 'com.abc.myapp' and not contain more than one period "." after the application's bundle ID."

The app contains both a watchOS 2 extension and an original WatchKit extension. The bad bundle identifier is reported only for he original WatchKit extension. The bundle identifiers are:

Main app: com.abc.myapp

WatchKit app (original and watchOS 2): com.abc.myapp.watchkitapp

WatchKit extension (original and watchOS 2): com.abc.myapp.watchkitapp.watchkitextension

This was working a week ago. My understanding is that both WatchKit extensions need to share the same bundle ID. However, the extra period in this bundle ID for the original WatchKit app seems to run afoul of the new bundle ID rule. Can anyone tell what bundle identifiers I should be using now? Are the current rules in fact contradictory?

Hi, where did you find it documented that the app and extensions need to share bundle Ids, as opposed to each having its own (resulting in 5 unique bundle ids) to support original and watchOS 2)?

I have the exact same issue? Do the OS1 and OS2 Watch apps need to have different bundle identifiers?

When I tried all different, received error saying OS1, OS2 Watch Apps needed same bundle identifiers. There was no error for different extension bundle identifiers. App is in review so cannot say for sure whether or not extension bundle ids need to be the same, different, or doesn't matter.
