Is there a way since (iOS 7's release) to get the UDID without using iTunes on a PC/Mac?

Question

I\'m developing an app for my company and we\'re going through the process of slowly letting people into the \"beta\" by adding their iPads to the company\'s iOS Dev Center

Answer 1

Hope this would help:

1. Connect iPhone to your MAC(I didn't try this with windows)
2. Click on Apple’s logo on the top left corner > select About This Mac
3. In Overview tab > System Report
4. Hardware in the left column > USB >
5. then on right pane select iPhone
6. in bottom pane -> "Serial number”

-> And that serial number is UDID

Answer 2

Plug it in, and run this from the command line:

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

Look for:

Serial Number: xxxx

Answer 3

Here's my research results:

Apple has hidden the UDID from all public APIs, starting with iOS 7. Any UDID that begins with FFFF is a fake ID. The "Send UDID" apps that previously worked can no longer be used to gather UDID for test devices. (sigh!)

The UDID is shown when a device is connected to XCode (in the organizer), and when the device is connected to iTunes (although you have to click on 'Serial Number' to get the Identifier to display.

If you need to get the UDID for a device to add to a provisioning profile, and can't do it yourself in XCode, you will have to walk them through the steps to copy/paste it from iTunes.

UPDATE -- see okiharaherbst's answer below for a script based approach to allow test users to provide you with their device UDIDs by hosting a mobileconfig file on a server

Answer 4

Please use udid.io in your device browser Or Please install iTools and conncet the device to get the correct UDID.

Answer 5

Found a nice way to handle it: Add the app to testFlight.com and give the link to the user you want his UDID. He will see an error message saying "your device UDID: xxxxxx is not registered" and the UDID will be the correct one.

Answer 6

I think iTunes looks to be the only answer, which is extremely unfortunate.
