<h2><strong>AdHoc Distribution: An Essential Yet Challenging Step</strong></h2>
<p>AdHoc Distribution is a method allowing iOS developers to test their apps on a limited number of registered Apple devices before the official App Store launch. This real-world testing environment is essential for fine-tuning performance and user experience. However, the process is not without challenges. Here are some challenges we would like to emphasize:</p>
<ul>
<li>Need to use iTunes or 3rd party applications to retrieve UDIDs of Apple devices.</li>
<li>Manual registration of each device&#8217;s UDID.</li>
<li>Updating provisioning profile for new devices.</li>
<li>Forgetting to delete old test devices.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Simplifying Apple Device Registration with Appcircle</strong></h2>
<p>Appcircle, a comprehensive CI/CD and device management platform, significantly simplifies Apple device registration.</p>
<ul>
<li>With Appcircle, you can send a device registration email to all of your Apple devices. Users can simply register their devices by following the steps of the link. That&#8217;s all! You no longer need iTunes or 3rd party applications to get UDIDs.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="aligncenter " src="https://cdn.appcircle.io/docs/assets/adhoc-email1.png" alt="apple-devices-email-automatization" width="385" height="833" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Appcircle also fetches devices from the Apple Developer portal. You can manage all of your Apple devices and iOS provisioning profiles from Appcircle. This enables easy configuration &#8211; adding to or deleting from the provisioning profile.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="aligncenter " src="https://cdn.appcircle.io/docs/assets/adhoc-addprovision1.png" alt="apple-devices-provisioning-profile" width="661" height="314" /></p>
<ul>
<li>This also provides a convenient way to remember to remove old test devices. Since Apple limits to 100 devices, this is a potential issue especially for the companies with large testing groups. You can delete the un-used Apple devices from Appcircle, this also disables the device from Apple Developer portal.</li>
</ul>
