>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug

>    Affects Versions: 5.4.0
>         Environment: MacOS X 10.10.5, Yosemite, Cordova CLI 5.4.1

> Running the following 'cordova create' command results in an error:
> $ cordova create MyApp com.company.internal.MyApp      
> Error: App id contains a reserved word, or is not a valid identifier.
> First, the error message does not tell me which of the words in the specified 
> app id is reserved. I figured out it was "internal" by trial and error. I 
> tried to search the documentation for the list of reserved words, but could 
> not find anything.
> Secondly, I think the list of "reserved" words is unnecessarily restrictive. 
> I do not see why "internal" should be banned from the app id. In fact, the 
> team provisioning profile we use for internal iOS development in our company 
> requires us to use an app id which includes "internal".
> It looks like Cordova uses the valid-identifier package to decide if a word 
> used in the app id is reserved.
> https://github.com/purplecabbage/valid-identifier
> This means that no Java keyword or reserved word can appear as part of the 
> app id. I am not sure that's correct for the domain names used as the 
> app/widget id's.
> Interestingly, this also means that Cordova rejects to create project with an 
> app id like 'in.company.something' even though it would be a perfectly valid 
> domain for India. The problem is that "in" happens to be a reserved word too. 
> Someone complained about it here:
