I'm trying to add 50 beta testers to my app through ad hoc. In the portal, it gives you an option to upload a file for UDIDS. What format should it be? Also, it mentioned that you are only limited to 100 devices per year and they cannot be changed. Does this mean once I added my beta testers, they cannot be changed forever, even for other apps?
Click the + icon/button in the top right corner. Select Register Device. Enter a name for the device and the UDID (You can find the UDID by plugging your device in and starting iTunes. Select your device, then on the Summary tab, click on Serial Number).
The limit is 100 devices per device type, which means that you can register 100 iPhones, 100 iPads, 100 Apple TVs and 100 Apple Watches to your developer account.
I just verified how it works to bulk upload devices. You should use a tab delimited text file that looks like:
# the first line is ignored
device_id_hex_40_chars description_text
... ...
Save this as a text file and upload to iPhone Developer Program->Devices->Upload Devices.
It should also be possible to upload a file in XML-format, but haven't found documentation how that's supposed to be structured. I guess it's easier if you're in the Enterprise program and can manage all devices in the iPhone Configuration Utility.
Edit: The first line of the file is ignored.
