Creating an Ad Hoc profile
1.
Get the UDID of every supported device from each user, and add it to your device list.
2.
Select the devices in the list that your testers will use.
Users can run the app only on the devices in the list.
3.
Pick a valid App ID for the profile or create a new one, and make a note of it for later.
4.
Install the new profile by dragging it from Finder and dropping it onto the Provisioning Profiles
item at the top left of the Devices window in the Organizer.
The new profile will have the
.mobileprovision
file extension.
