FAQs
1. Why is my Mac UDID necessary for app testing?
A UDID is a 40-digit character sequence that uniquely identifies your Mac. Developers use this ID to provide unreleased apps that are in the testing phase to a limited audience for feedback. It helps developers to make necessary changes and bug fixes before officially releasing the app to the public.
No, you must only provide your UDID to trusted developers who are developing an app for you to test. Sharing your UDID with anyone else could pose a security risk to your device.
