Adding devices to team provisioning profile

Question

I need to add a device to my team provisioning profile, however I do not physically have the device so I can\'t hook it up to my computer so Xcode can\'t add the UDID to my

Answer 1

This worked for me:

1. Login to your iphone provisioning portal through developer.apple.com
2. Add the UDID in devices
3. Go back to XCode, open up the Organizer and select "Provisioning Profiles", ensure that "Automatic Device Provisioning" is checked on the top right pane, then click on the "Refresh" button, and magically all your devices set in the provisioning portal will be automatically added.

Answer 2

Workaround for adding a device to an existing (automatically or manually created) provisioning profile (tested in Xcode 8.2.1):

1. Add the device in the developer portal.
2. Only when using a manually created profile: add the device to the profile.
3. In Xcode, go to Xcode > Preferences > "Accounts" tab > select your Apple ID (left pane) > double click on your Team Name.
4. Locate the existing provisioning profile. (automatically created profiles will begin with 'iOS Team Provisioning Profile' or 'XC iOS' or similar.
5. Right click on the profile.
6. Choose 'Move to Trash'.
7. The profile will disappear. A new profile with the same name might appear again, that is OK.

Xcode should now be aware of the newly added device.

Note that testers are no longer added via UUID in the new Apple TestFlight.

Test Flight builds now require an App Store Distribution Provisioning Profile. The portal does not allow UUIDs to be added to this type of provisioning profile.

Instead, add "Internal Testers" via iTunes Connect:

Internal testers are iTunes Connect users with the Admin or Technical role. They can be added in Users and Roles.

After adding a user, be sure to click on their name and flip the "Internal Tester" switch.

Then, go to App > Prerelease > Internal Testers and invite them to the build.

If you have recently created new provisioning profiles, you will have to disconnect your phone, close XCode. Then open XCode, refresh your accounts then build and deploy at least once to your phone.

Answer 5

right click on the device, then select 'add device to provisioning profile'

Answer 6

For Xcode 6 it is a little different.

After adding the device UDID in the developer site (https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/deviceList.action), go back to Xcode.

Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts Select the Apple ID you added the device under and in the bottom right, click "View Details..."

Hit the refresh icon on the bottom left and then try to run the app again.
