First time using iTunes Connect and I'm confused as to what my app's bundle identifier actually is. Here's what I did:

First, I went to my account @ developer.apple.com, clicked "Certificates, IDs, and Profiles", clicked "App IDs", clicked the "+" button, and created a new explicit app ID with a bundle ID e.g. "com.example.foo".

Next I went to back to the my account page @ developer.apple.com and clicked on "iTunes Connect". In iTunes Connect I clicked "My Apps", then the "+" menu and "New App". In the bundle ID drop down menu were two entries: XC Wildcard and the com.example.foo bundle ID that I had just created. I chose com.example.foo and submitted the form. No errors or warnings were displayed. However, in the App Information screen that immediately followed, the bundle ID drop-down says "Choose" and the only option in the dropdown is XC Wildcard.

Is the com.example.foo bundle ID that I selected when creating the app in iTunes Connect actually associated with the app record? If so, why doesn't the UI indicate this? If not, why isn't there some kind of error when I specified that bundle ID and created a new app?

The com.example.foo bundle ID is the one associated with the app record you created. I don't remember seeing a dropdown on the App Information screen, but if there is one, it's because you can select a different bundle ID to be associated with the record. However, once you submit a binary with that app record, the bundle ID can no longer be changed and that dropdown will go away.

EDIT: I just verified that a new app does indeed have the dropdown to select a different bundle ID. Also, the UI does indicate the current bundle ID. Directly under the dropdown it has a label that says Your Bundle ID in bold. That is the current Bundle ID associated with the app record.

Well, the dropdown disappeared after uploading a binary (which makes sense) and now lists the bundle ID that I expected. It's possible I overlooked the bolded bundle ID in the pre-upload version of the UI although I did cmd+F search for it and come up with nothing. In any event the problem appears resolved. Thanks!
