Adding Device IDs
The Devices section of the iPhone Developer Program Portal lets you enter the Apple devices that you
use for iPhone OS development. To install your iPhone OS application on an Apple device, enter the
Unique Device Identifier (UDID) for each iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad in the Program Portal. A UDID
is a 40-character string that is tied to a single device. UDIDs are similar to hardware serial numbers.
These UDIDs are included in the provisioning profiles that you create later. Enter a maximum of 100
devices for your development team.
You need to add your devices, as well as PayPal’s devices. You receive UDID values for PayPal’s
devices from PayPal.
