Files location:

Windows - C:\Users\<user_directory>\AppData\Roaming\seetest\apple-accounts

Mac - /Users/<user_directory>/seetest/apple-accounts

Adding devices​

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 is not on the account - a pop up will ask your permission to add 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 - a 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.

Troubleshooting​

  1. Wrong credentials - Apple will block account after 10 failures

  2. Reached maximum certificates that can be generated from a machine - After generating several .p12 files from a machine, a new request will be blocked:

    Therefore a revoke is needed. The suggested certificate is from local machine only.\

  3.  Reached maximum certificates for an account:

    Decide if to revoke on Apple web portal.
