How to copy the iPhone UDID on macOS Catalina?

Question

How to copy UDID of the iPhone?

I want to register my iPhone as a tester within the Apple store account. So followed the steps as per the above image.

But there is no way exist to copy the UDID and direct copy option, I can able to get only half UDID. Please check below image:

How to get full UDID copy in text form? So I can paste at the Apple store account.

Solution 1

When you right-click on the UDID in Finder and select Copy, it actually copies the entire line so the clipboard has a string along the lines of:

Serial: G52VGYOEJC69 · UDID: 71398d1ad6b522d06d192a5b5762a831c7730bb1 · Model: iPhone10,4

You can't paste that whole string into App Store Connect. So paste what you copied into a temporary text file or anywhere you can copy text. Then select just the actual UDID number (e.g. 71398d1ad6b522d06d192a5b5762a831c7730bb1) and then you can copy that and paste it into the UDID field in App Store Connect.

Solution 2

For some reason, it doesn't show UDID in Finder (MacOS Catalina) as shown above. What works in my case is obtaining UDID using XCode.

1. Open XCode while having iPhone connected via USB
2. Menu > Window > Devices and Simulators [Shift+CMD+2]
3. You will see your device with Identifier field

Solution 3

you can find the UDID when you connect your iPhone to your macOS Catalina Mac:

=> Finder

=> Select you iPhone in the sidebar

=> Tab 'General'

=> Click on the text that is shown below your device name

Solution 4

if for some reason udid not shown for you, just press on subttitle below the name and it will appear. hope it helps

Solution 5

In catalina 10.15.5, we can select one of the long numbers to copy. Option is available now. When you right click on UDID you get the option to select what we need to copy.

Just left click below the device name till you get UDID then right click on top of the UDID and copy option appears click on that that's it . Here is what copied for me when I did the same Serial: F72VGYONJC69 · UDID: 91298d1ad6a522d06f193a5b5762a831f7330bb1 · Model: iPhone10,4 I'm using mac 10.15.1. What's the version you are using ? I recommend you to upgrade to the latest one

What gets copied is more than the UDID. You need to paste what you copied into a temporary file or something. Then copy just the UDID value so you can paste just the UDID into iTunes Connect.

Right. You are trying to copy more than UDID into iTunes Connect so it gets truncated.

Apple should detect this and automatically extract the UUID.
