Why can't I install different apps with the same wildcard bundle identifier on iOS?

Ok I thought a wildcard bundle identifier was so that we could use it to install many apps with the same profile, instead of creating a gazillion profiles for each app.

But we cant install the different apps on the device with the same bundle identifier, so in essence we end up having to create a bundle identifier for each app anyway.

Is this correct? Is there anything I can do to NOT create one profile for each?

Apps need distinct bundle identifiers, always. The wildcard identifier concept is used with provisioning profiles, not a app's bundle identifier. You use a wildcard provisioning profile to sign an app who's distinct and specific bundle identifier can match with the provisioning profile.
