title: iOS How to name External Accessories protocol string
body: <p>I use this <a href="https://www.socketmobile.com/developers/mfi-approval/?languageRedirect=true" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Socket Mobile web site</a> to fill <strong>MFi</strong> approval form.</p>
  
  <p>My quiestion is about number </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol start="4">
    <li>Any protocol strings you are using other than com.socketmobile.chs</li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I found information on page <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/featuredarticles/ExternalAccessoryPT/Introduction/Introduction.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> that describes:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>As part of your communication with the accessory manufacturer, you
    must find out what protocols a given accessory supports. To prevent
    namespace conflicts, protocol names are specified as reverse-DNS
    strings of the form com.apple.myProtocol. This allows each
    manufacturer to define as many protocols as needed to support their
    line of accessories.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So should I specify this as <code>com.apple.myProtocol</code> or do I need to use <code>com.mywebsite.myProtocol</code>?</p>
