Understanding Universal Device Identifiers (UDIDs) for Effective iOS Device Management
Understanding UDIDs and iOS Device Management ===================================================== As a developer working with Apple devices, it’s essential to understand how Universal Device Identifiers (UDIDs) work and how they affect your iOS device management. What is a UDID? A Universal Device Identifier (UDID) is a unique identifier assigned to each iOS device. It serves as the device’s fingerprint, allowing developers to identify and manage their devices efficiently. When you create an iPad Pro, iPhone, or iPod touch for testing purposes, Apple assigns a UVID to that device.
