Allow my app to run only on certain device

Hi,

I was contacting a publishing company to help me publish my app, they asked me to send the ipa file for testing, and they sent me their UDIDs for an iPhone and an iPad,
my question is how to limit my app to only work on those devices?

Thanks

When you do an ad-hoc build you specify the devices via the provisioning profile. You can create a new provisioning profile at the Apple Member Center and specify which devices to add. The device UDIDs must have already been added to the device list.

We use HockeyApp for sending test builds out rather than sending out an IPA.

  • We send out email invite to new user.
  • They accept and register device which gives us UDID.
  • We add UDID to our list of devices in Apple Developer Center .
  • We do archive build in Xcode which then automatically includes the UDID.
  • Then we distribute via HockeyApp OSX app.
