I am a very new developer. I am trying to use Xcode to test my apps, but it says I need to register my device. A few tutorials have told me to head over to Member Center and click on the left side. I can't seem to find anything on the left side of the page. It only has Welcome, Bug Reporter, Forums, Documentations and News and Updates. Where do I go? I assumed it was free to test.
How to register my device?
Free provisioning/testing on your device:
• From within Xcode 7.x, navigate to “Xcode—->Preferences—->Accounts.” Hit the '+' icon below left to add your Apple ID. After you add your account, it will show within the main account window on the right.
• Select your account, hit the “View Details” button and wait for them to load.
• Now create the 'signing identity' used to create a provisioning profile used for device testing - Hit the “Create” button next to the 'iOS development' label. When completed, hit ‘Done’.
• Connect your device and select it as build destination via the 'active scheme' dropdown to the right of the play and stop icons.
• In target's 'General' tab/settings:
• a. Set app identifier you want for your free profile
• b. Set team id as your apple id
• c. Hit 'Fix Issue' button below the provisioning profile warning
• Run your app with your device selected.
You may have to 'fix issue' more than once - keep at it so Xcode can step thru them as needed.
