Device Registration

Apple requires that each device used to install a test build-via Xcode or manually-must be registered in the system.

  • To install .ipa files manually on a device
  • For development and debugging with Xcode For creating Provisioning Profiles (development / ad hoc)
  • For internal testing, especially before publishing to TestFlight or the App Store
