 How to add UDID to Apple Developer Account?

Are you looking to distribute your latest app to alpha and beta testers? Interested in enlisting multiple devices under your Apple Developer account, granting them exclusive access to your new app for testing?

To facilitate this, it's essential to incorporate the UDID (Unique Device Identifier) of each device into your developer account via the Apple Developer console.

In the event that you haven't obtained the UDID as of now, consider employing the following techniques to acquire it and seamlessly integrate it into your developer account.

Step 1: Obtain the UDID


Before you can add a UDID to your developer account, you need to find the UDID of the device you want to include. Follow these steps to locate the UDID:


1. Connect the iOS device to your computer.

2. Open iTunes (or Finder if you're using macOS Catalina or later).

3. Select the device from the top-left corner.

4. On the device summary page, click on the serial number. This will switch to displaying the UDID.

5. Copy the UDID to your clipboard, as you'll need it for the next steps.

Step 2: Add UDID to Your Apple Developer Account


1. Login to Your Developer Account:

With your UDID at hand, the next step entails utilizing your Apple developer credentials to seamlessly integrate your device into the developer account. Employ the subsequent steps to add your test devices to your Apple developer account seamlessly

1. Login to Your Developer Account:
Go to the Apple Developer website: https://developer.apple.com/account  and log in with your developer credentials.

5. Provide Device Information:

 You'll need to fill out the device information. This includes the device name and the UDID you obtained earlier. Type in the UDID carefully to ensure accuracy.

6. Review and Register:

Double-check the information you entered. Once you're sure everything is correct, click the "Register" button.

7. Device Added:

The device will now be added to your developer account and will be associated with your app testing capabilities.


Adding the UDID is crucial for beta testing, allowing specific devices to run your app during the development stages. Make sure to repeat these steps for each device you want to include in your testing pool.


Remember that the steps and interface might have changed if there have been updates to the Apple Developer portal after my last knowledge update in September 2021. Always refer to the latest documentation from Apple for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.
