Where to register Apple Bundle ID the FIRST time?

I'm developing apps in Unity to publish to the ios app store. The last time I created an app I created the Bundle ID in XCode then tried to create a provisioning profile and App ID in the Apple Developer portal. Unfortunately I could not use my Bundle ID because it was already taken (yes by me!).


I've been reading something about the newest version of XCode automatically doing some of these steps for you so what is the most up-to-date order of operations to register a Bundle ID so that it knows you're talking about the same one and not trying to steal the name from yourself?


Looking for the order in which to do these things: Create App ID, Create Provisioning Profile (and will XCode do this for me automatically?), Entering Bundle ID in X Code, Creating App in Itunes Connect, Archiving and Uploading App from XCode to Connect.

Thanks!

Finaly dug up the line I was looking for:


"You use your developer account to manage the identifiers, devices, and profiles used to code sign your app, enable it to launch on devices, and use certain app services. Xcode creates and manages these assets for you during development. When you’re ready to distribute your app for testing, you use your developer account to manage some of these assets yourself."


So I guess the newest version of XCode manages creating these profiles initially so when I did it the old way (creating them myself in the Developer portal), it ran into problems. Basically just let XCode do its thing then manage these profiles laster if they need editing.
