App IDs with underscores are not supported. The iOS build will fail with a pretty error message:

   [ERROR] tiapp.xml contains an invalid app id "com.appcelerator.new_project"
   [ERROR] The app id must consist of letters, numbers, and dashes.
   [ERROR] The first character must be a letter.
   [ERROR] Usually the app id is your company's reversed Internet domain name. (i.e. com.example.myapp)
