App Group ID and initWithSuiteName: method

Question

I have to use App Group to communicate with my container app and Today Widget. I've created App Group ID like group.com.myCompany.myApp and using it in code like this: NSUserDefaults *shared = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.com.myCompany.myApp"]; And all works great. The problem is - for enterprise and AppStore I need to create another App Group ID and AppID and so on - does this mean that I have to change every time, when I build ipa for Debug/Enterprise/AppStore, this part @"group.com.myCompany.myApp" to @"group.com.myCompanyEnterprise.myApp" and @"group.com.myCompanyAppStore.myApp" manually accordingly?

You don't need to create new App Group ID and AppID for enterprise and AppStore. Just proceeds with same AppID. All you need to change in build of enterprise and AppStore is provisioning profile and respective production certificate. That should be access with same AppID. So, no need to change App Group ID and AppID every time.
