iOS 8, How to use device for development?

Question

I have a new iPad Retina and I\'d like to use it for development with Xamarin Studio and XCode 6. In the past, with XCode 5 you simply connect the device and click the butt

Answer 1

You can register a device with your Developer ID at:

https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/deviceList.action

(You will have to be logged into the developer site to do so.)

After that, everything should work fine. You can get your device's UDID from iTunes.

Answer 2

• First you have to register the UDID of the device in iOS member center and add with the provisioning profile and install the provisioning profile

• In versions of Xcode prior to Xcode 6, you can connect the device to your computer over USB, open Xcode -> Organizer and select Use for Development.

• Use for Development was removed from Xcode in Xcode 6 and later. It is no longer possible to do this for devices using Xcode 6 or later, even with the Devices page

• Try going to Window->Devices. You should see your attached device in the list so right click on the device and select Show Provisioning Profiles.It will show a window where you can add your profile.

After that you will be able to install your app in that device.

Answer 3

Try building and deploying an Xcode app and see what happens.

I believe Xcode will popup a helpful dialog if you need to do something Xcode can't do automatically.

Answer 4

Despite the hints here and elsewhere, it took me awhile to find the exact solution. So, for others who are new to Xcode:

The navbar at the top of the main Xcode 6 window has a triangle run/play button, a square stop button, the app's name, then a target name, e.g. "iPhone 6" for one of the simulator options. The target name is actually a drop-down menu! That is where to select your actual device.

Now click the triangle button to build & run. Likely result: "No non-expired provisioning profiles are installed" with a button to "Fix Issue". Click that, wait a bit ... done!
