Add new device for an existing tester on Crashlytics

Question

How can I add a new UDID in Crashlytics for an existing tester? The UDID is on the distribution profile but because it's not listed in Crashlytics the user cannot open the app

Answer 1

I didn't know this about using Fabric. I thought you just enter an email address and the tester can install your app but that ONLY works for enterprise Apple Dev Accounts. If you have a personal account, how you get your app on a new tester's device is:

1) Archive/distribute your app, add their email to the tester list in crashlytics. They get an email to register.

2) Then you (as the distributer) will receive an email that says they registered and it has their device UDID in it.

3) You need to then go to the app dev website and add this UDID to your device list.

4) Then you need to go to your Xcode preferences and refresh your dev account profile to make sure it's aware of the new device ids (Xcode/ Preferences/Accounts/ Download Manual Profiles).

5) Then you need to re-archive/re-distribute the app again.

On this second email, they can finally install the app.

Answer 2

You have to open the link in the invite emails on the new device. The original invite will say "Let Me In" and new build emails will say "Check It Out". Then it'll take you to the page where you can register your new device.

After the device is registered with Crashlytics you should be able to do open the app, seeing that your UDID is already in the provisioning profile.
