Description

Bug

When the name of an app starts with a number (i.e. 10tips) the app cannot be deployed at the store due to the generated CFBundleURLSchemes on the info.plist files. See attached screenshot.

Test case

Create an app with number and try to submit it to the store.

Solution

Copy and replace the CFBundleURLSchemes tags from the generated info.plist to tiapp.xml and add a letter at the begging. tiapp.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ti:app xmlns:ti="http://ti.appcelerator.org">
<ios>
        <plist>
            <dict>
                <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
                <array>
                    <dict>
                        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
                        <string>com.appc.10tips</string>
                        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
                        <array>
                            <string>a10tips</string> <!-- Letter 'a' added -->
                        </array>
                    </dict>
                </array>
                <key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key>
                <true/>
            </dict>
        </plist>
    </ios>
</ti:app>

Sames goes for an app ending on .. If in tiapp.xml I have <name>Sport Instr.</name> then the CFBundleURLSchemes becomes sportinstr_ which is not valid because Apple doesn't allow it to end with _. This needs a little more work at https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/85b3c33f81c853fd273ee1b025e1d87573997f03/iphone/cli/commands/_build.js#L1710

[~cng] this should be easy to fix. We simply need the specs on what Apple accepts for CFBundleURLSchemes and make sure the replace [here](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/85b3c33f81c853fd273ee1b025e1d87573997f03/iphone/cli/commands/_build.js#L1710) complies.
