Please note that this tool is classified as a Legacy tool. We recommend transitioning to our updated solutions to maintain optimal performance and security in your workflows. For more information on this matter, please reach out to technical support .

In this section, we will explain how to register your Apple ID to SeeTestAutomation.

This process will allow you to automatically create the required entities (p12, mobile provisioning file) for working with iOS devices.

Note, the recommended way is to Register Developer Profile Account

Limitations

Note, Working with Apple ID has limitations:

  1. The mobile provisioning file is valid for 7 days.

  2. Must trust the profile on the device (Settings->General->Device Management)

  3. Can generate one certificate only (can revoke and create again)

Prerequisites​

  1. Installed SeeTestAutomation (version 10.4 and above).

  2. A valid Apple Id.

Steps to Work with Apple ID​

  1. Open iOS Provision Profile Management tool in SeeTestAutomation.

  2. Click on Register your iOS Developer and then "Next".

  3. Enter your Apple ID credentials (Apple ID username and password) and click on Login. If you check 'keep me logged in' it will store your credentials.

  4. Select your iOS Developer Account Team and click on Register.

Registration creates p12 

Files location:

Windows - C:\Users\h<user directory>\AppData\Roaming\seetest\apple-accounts

Mac - /Users/<user directory>/seetest/apple-accounts

Adding devices​

Supports iOS 9 and up

Click 'Add device' and choose iOS Device. A provisioning profile will be automatically generated and loaded to SeeTest. The profile will include all devices that are registered on the developer account.

If the current device isn't on the account - a pop up will ask for permission to it.

If credentials are not stored - a pop up will ask for the account password.

Additional options:​

  1. Logout - uses to log out from the account. The already generated profiles can still be used. In order to add new devices to the account - the password will be required or re-Login.  

  2. Remove - uses to remove the account. Removing will delete the p12 file created in the registration process.
