Registering Testing Devices

All iPhone/iPads you want to install and test your iOS app on prior to publishing need to be registered to your Apple Developer account. The UDID (Unique Device Identifier) for each device is added to the provisioning profile for your app which permits the app to be installed on those specified devices outside of the App Store.

To register a test device enter the UDID and a device name. Once registered, the device will be included in the provisioning profile used during the build allowing the IPA to be installed and launched on that device.

❗️

Important

After registering new test devices, you must rebuild your iOS app to include the updated provisioning profile.

Add iOS Testers and register their iOS devices

Go to your Median organization page > iOS Testers, then click the Add iOS Tester button to add all testers including your own devices. If a user has multiple devices, e.g. iPhone and iPad, you will need to add each separately.

Option 1: Send Email Invitations

1. Choose Send Invitation, enter the user’s name and email, then click Send Invite.

2. The user should open the invitation email on their iOS device and click Register Device. This will open the Median webpage where they can enroll their device.

3. Click Get UDID Automatically, then download the UDID device profile.

4. Once downloaded, open the Settings app and tap Profile Downloaded.

5. Install the profile. Once complete, you will be redirected back to the Median website with the UDID and device name pre-filled. Click Register Device to complete the process.

Option 2: Enter UDID Manually

1. Request the UDID for all devices you wish to add. Median's standalone Get UDID page can be used to avoid needing to connect the iOS device to a computer via USB.

2. Choose the Enter UDID option, enter a device name and the device UDID, then click Register Device.
