Also you can get the bundleID of every APP. Follow these steps:

  1. Change extension of the APP from .ipa to .zip and unzip the file.
  2. Enter to Payload folder.
  3. Open Info.plist with Notepad.
  4. Search for key CFBundleIdentifier and you have the bundleID of that APP.

This is the Bundle ID from WhatsApp:

    CFBundleIdentifier
    net.whatsapp.WhatsApp
