Finding UDID on iPhones & iOS Simulator

While distributing iOS Adhoc builds to the stakeholders or fellow QA members its literally a pain to get UDID of the iPhone from the fellow team members especially when they don’t have iTunes installed.

We have super utility website : https://get.udid.io/ to figure out the UDID without iTunes. Just we need to visit the website and install the profile and tada:) we have the UDID displayed and this can be shared to the developers in order share builds over test flight or AppCenter.

The next problem is that while running tests , if we want to trigger tests on specific simulator ,run the below command in terminal

xcrun simctl list

Device List

The command will fetch all the list of simulators installed with the UDID information and this will help us to figure out the UDID and run UI tests especially for Xamarin UI tests.
