# How to find the Team ID of an application on Mac

Team ID is a unique identification code given by Apple to a developer inside the Apple ecosystem. It can be used to identify all the applications developed by a particular developer and cannot be altered. You can have multiple applications under the same Team ID.

We can utilize [Bundle ID](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/how-to-find-the-bundle-id-of-an-application-on-mac/) to uniquely identify an application under the same Team ID, which will be unique for a particular application.

Find the Team ID of an application in a macOS device 
-----------------------------------------------------

To find the Team ID of an application that is already installed on a macOS device,

1. Find the location/path of the application for which the Team ID is to be found. To find the location/path of an application, right-click on the app and select **Get Info**. The location/path of the application will be displayed beside **Where**, which can be used in the command to find the Team ID of the app.
2. Enter the following command in the terminal: `codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Path/to/app app_name.app/ 2>&1 | grep TeamIdentifier `
    
    A sample terminal command to find the Team ID of the Google Chrome app is given below:
    
    `codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Applications/Google Chrome.app/ 2>&1 | grep TeamIdentifier `

Upon entering the command mentioned above, the Team ID of the application will be obtained as the result of the terminal command. It will be displayed in the format:

**“TeamIdentifier=ABCD1234”**

You can use the Team ID of an application while configuring [System Extensions](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/how-to-configure-system-extensions-on-macos-devices/) or [Kernel Extensions](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/how-to-configure-kernel-extension-settings-for-mac-with-hexnode-mdm/) for your macOS devices.
